17 April 2010
I didnt managed to find the time to document this special affair of the family. It’s a big event; i reckoned it as a significant event coz this is the first the whole family dine at a 5-star hotel restaurant togther.
It was also in celebration of my sis’s birthday. Many thanks for her generosity in paying for the parents and some of me and lyin.
The view from above
The venue? You guessed it.. Hai Tien Lo @ Pan Pacific, 37th level. This is the whole awesome view you can get there. Looking a lil too familiar to me now at this point in time since i see this everyday now!
Their Menu
This is a ala-carte buffet which is the style of buffet i prefer as it ensures freshness of every dish. Was disappointed not to be able to find their speciality Bird Nest Egg Tart.
Awesome Sharksfin!
Right~ It’s gonna be kind immoral eating this yet I have to say it’s the best Sharksfin i ever had. The ingredients are generous and this goes down to even the crab meat. look at that! It made me have this thought that maybe Sharksfins should only be restricted to the hands of the top chef! Why waste such a precious thing on meals where the chef can’t cook properly!?
Cereal prawns – love the cereals
Some Tofu Skin stuff. – oops this was alil forgetable!
This also ought to be one of the best Chee Cheong Fan I’ve eated! For my non-local readers, It’s actually rice cakes but thinly rolled up ones! This has fillings in it! And the sauce was awesome.
Siew Mai – it turned out just fine for me.
Mum & Dad
Vampy and I.
The first time he joins the family for a meal since my family hardly have a meal together. Ha
Me & Birthday Gal
The overview
Drunken Prawns
This turned out to be the men’s favourite.
Mum, lil sis & Dad
yumyum, salad prawns! FRESH & BOUNCY
5 spices ribs?
Sweet & Sour Fish, soft and tender.
The best thing is..you can find mangoes in it!
Vampy taking a shot with the folks
And I got the restaurant to arrange a surprise for the birthday gal. Look at her shocked face. I knew she didnt had this kinda ‘surprise’ before so it’s my obligation to give her one since im quite experienced in this!
Still recovering from shock while we sing the birthday song!
the whole family
polaroids..sis & bf, & 3 sis!
This blog post is simple. Light on the reviews of the food but more of how the family had spent time together. The daughters realised that the parents had worked too hard their life and still can’t bear to eat better food, wear better clothes, live a better life that they deserved. Dad had a heart attack and an operation in Feb. That was a wake-up call. We were extremely afraid then. Honestly, at 21.. i dont feel any ready for the ‘bad news’. So we wanted to bring them to better places, delight and pamper them with experiences they should be exposed to.
