L@wry's
But I haven't taken a second look.
Perhaps its golden door frame has blinded my sight. Or perhaps its the price that hinted me only the rich can afford.
Perhaps I'm still disappointed why they didn't accept me as a M@rketing Exec. years ago.
Maybe it happens I prefer my chicken at Ke Ai Ji.
*Horribly translated as 'Cute Chicken'.
Chicken has never tasted so funny before. Kee Siao Chicken.
Anyway, the 5 of us decided to meet up to push that golden door as far as our wallets could carry us.
Opening that door wasn't difficult. In fact, we were quickly swept away to the main dining hall, away from the 2 private halls they have in the same area.
We were quickly settled down, with loaves of bread on the table.
"Still or sparkling water? Or perhaps some wine?"
Eh... I'm fine to drinking chilled water, you know. Even though we all know it probably comes from the tap directly.
We decided on still water.
Water that never moves.I was then handed the menu. On one side of the menu, they had the set dinner, which cost $88 per pax. And the right side, it shows the range of dishes they have. Till your eyes move to the bottom of the page.
Water cost $7.
Right.
Since we were already there, might as well ignore the cost and just enjoy ourselves.
Orders were taken and conversation resumed.
Until...
"Sorry for the interruption," the waitress said. In front of her was a big bowl of salad, on top of another bowl of ice. She begins to spin the bowl of salad.
"This is our world famous spinning salad", she introduced. She then did a curtsey, pouring a bowl of sauce into the salad.
Drama Rama.
Fine. It was really good.
Especially when you add some peppa into it.
The girls.The main course arrived.
It was splendid to watch how we were served.
Michelle had fish.
Kimmy had her English cut.
WK & Gerrie had their L@wry's cut.
And I had the beef tenderloin.
The ambience was excellent, service was above average and I enjoy the paintings on their high ceiling.
The portion was huge, but being herself, Kimmy didn't quite have enough.
Yes, we had deserts as well.
I would think we all enjoyed ourselves. I wouldn't want to discuss the price, but to conclude, let's just say we needed a well-deserving treat.
Nights.
