Dinner At Somewhere Far Away

I know Mother's Day is ages ago. But I still want to post this because some of the pictures are quite interesting to me.

That day my eldest brother came down and after all sorts of catching up, playing and messing we had, we need to get down to the more serious matter - Dinner.

Before that we took some pictures for fun.
Quite a good picture took by my brother, intentionally showing off his... car. I'm not good with car models and names. A really nice vintage car. Yeah that's my apartment's address. Capture myself. My mom and dad from the view of another car. We ate at the new Bei Zhan Restaurant. It's funny how last time we can just walk across the street to eat there but now we need to take quite a distance (Hence the title of this post). Sad face. =( But the design of both the inside and outside of the restaurant is quite impressive. Cheap art made to look elegant. Most of the pictures here are taken by my brother actually. So I'm not that childish to do something like this. I swear it's not my doing.
Really.

My parents find it hard to decide what to order, and my grandma is apparently lost. We waited quite a long time for the food to be served that the Chinese tea turned from this, to this. Even the sauce looks like it's crying. Here's the 1st and most not appealing dish of all. It's not our vege dish actually but we just go along with it.
Fried seafood tofu. Black pepper PORK!! Their signature Ying & Yang Fish. And of course, the main dish - plain rice. Overall it was edible. I'm still not picture friendly, I think. I'm not a whore to a camera.

Welcome The New Year Again

This is why I love Chinese New Year celebration! Hope you guys have a great time during these days too!

Dinner At Holiday Inn

It was the day that I just got my salary. So I'm pretty happy and decided to eat at somewhere luxurious.
I brought my mother with me.
I didn't bring my father along because he went to Singapore. So I'm not an unfilial son.
But if he's here I won't take him too because he doesn't like western food.
My point is I'm a pretty damn cheapskate.

Anyways I heard the food at Holiday Inn are great. Its a 5 star hotel duh...
The design at Holiday Inn is quite impressive. They have this light which keeps changing its colour.
From pink, to yellow, and to green.
Then we saw this place called Sirocco Bar. They have quite many different types of beer there. And a coffeemaker which is most likely they stole it from Starbucks. When I thought that was a lot of beer, I saw this small room which have a wide collection of beer. As in a lot. They even have pole for the beers for... Beer Pole-Dancing. Then we saw a place where they sell dessert. They were selling half price for everything that time so its my lucky day. I bought 2 cakes and 2 Quiches.
After awhile of exploring my mom complained she was getting really hungry.
Or that was me.
So we headed to the real thing.
Notice that no smoking sign - A sign of high class. Notice the design - A sign of high class. Notice the weird food names - A sign of high class. And the expensive prices - A sign of high class.
This is the arrangement of the tables. Two weird sticks that looked like dildos so that you can do something while waiting for the food. They also have this classic pizza oven. After ordering the food, 1st up they served us something that we didn't order.
A hard wholemeal bread with weird sauces. And an advanced version of potato wedges. The green thing you see is not wasabi. Its some kind of grind green pea.
And the good thing is they didn't charge us for the bread and potato wedges. =)
I think the best dish is the appetizer.
It is called Prawn Kataifi. I don't know how they made the prawn, it is covered with some crunchy thing. It really taste good and even better when dipped in mayonaise. But the salad besides the prawns didn't really taste good.
After that they served Spaghetti Aragusta.
I don't really like this dish because it tasted a bit sour and salty. But the lobsters with the spaghetti sauce is really good. Notice the black and red small thing at the edge of the dish.
Its not raspberry or anything sweet. It is something very salty. I ate it all and had to drink a whole cup of water.
And the last one called Calzone Pizza. No its not a giant karipap. Inside is stuffed with beef pepperoni, chicken ham, herbs and mushroom. And the dessert was Strawberry Merquise. It looks good but it didn't really taste good.
I prefer the Tiramisu that I brought back.In conclusion, next time when you see a karipap - A sign of high class.
