Macedoine

Macedoine Dining @ GF136, Queensbay (near the exit to HSBC)

We 9x gathered for an express farewell lunch (BK) today.

The set lunch new menu (RM13.50+, RM14.50+) is gonna start on 7th Apr, thus we had to stick to the old menu (RM10.80+).

The set lunch today came with 1x soup (mushroom cream) & 1x drink (nutmeg)


Set lunch main course : Grilled chicken (I zoomed in ok, the serving size was actually very small)

Set lunch main course : Chicken Chop

Set lunch main course : Thick Indian Curry

Ala Carte : Seafood Spaghetti (RM11.80+) - You should know well that this was my order already hor?! :)

Ala Carte : Seafood Platter

Ala Carte menu

Overall the food quality was actually not bad at all! The only thing to pick at was its serving size was rather small leh.

The set menu RM10.80+ for a so-called 'western food' level was kinda 'cheap' lah. I guess this was meant for promo purpose. :) We were lucky lah to be able to catch the last boat before the price is increased! Hopefully the serving size will be enlarged too with the increasing price later.

Wan Than Mee

Jalan Tengah flat kopitiam (morning stall run by two aunties)

At this Bayan Baru area (I stress again, not town area ah), it can be considered one of the good Wan Than Mee stalls. From the serving itself, you may not know it's good but once you taste it, I believe you'll hardly say 'not nice'. (Remark: You can try ordering from another stall which is located just 45 deg apart then straightaway you'll know)

Firstly I dislike wan than mee that is mixed with 'lor'. This one is not.
Secondly, the wan than mee (dry) must come with soup wan than, not fried wan than, preferably with a separate bowl. Nowadays it's getting less and less stalls willing to serve wan than in this traditional way.
Thirdly, the mee itself plays a very important role.

Go and taste it then let me know. RM2.20 serving is small though :)

The View @ Equatorial Hotel

We held a farewell dinner @ The View, Equatorial Hotel on 17 Mac 08 for our managers AA and HT.

It's been ~ 2yrs or more since we last had such kinda 'gathering' again at The View. This round there were ~ 40x of us.

"We should have such kind of dinner annually!" some said so. Of course not only meant for farewell lah but rather an event for colleagues from different departments to dine and get together.

Our dining tables.


The semi-buffet corner - the most popular one of coz was the smoked salmon section!


Another popular one was this - oyster & prawn corner.


The appetizer corner

The dessert corner


My serving deco.

Main dishes - each accompanied by vege soup + 1 scoop of sorbet (bottom left).





Hohoho!!!! Red wine was belanja by our MD! How many bottles did we consume? 4x? 6x? I had no idea loh. The drinks were belanja by mgr, TS.



I enjoyed this farewell very much! :)
