I have to relate this post to Delicacies Corner

Sorry I have to put this post under Delicacies Corner instead of the Main.

Just now when having dinner at Fang Yuan, there were a couple (looked like age ~23-28 yrs old) coming in when we were about to finish ours.

The lady was very tall ~174cm, with plastic-surgery-high-nose and big boobs (this one I am not sure liao) :) wearing cincai sleeveless top and short pants carrying a big bag, with sandals (very casual, without makeup pun). Beside her was a guy, so-so, slightly shorter than her, long sleeves shirt and long pants (like office wear), wearing specs (not the polite bookworm type) but also not very kasar like lan chai type lah.

Since the restaurant only got two tables occupied at that time, therefore it's quiet and we managed to hear what they ordered, but not every sentence k.

"Hmm....got any hai som dish?" The guy asked.
"Got....with scallop, hai bee all cooked in claypot".
"OK, one."
"Got that one green green colour one or not?"
"brocolli?"
"Er...nope..."
"xxx??"
"Yah! right! Pls cook with........."
On and off the lady also tup zhui and joked lah when the taukeh kai siao dishes to them. Her voice was very low type, like Michelle Lee (Lei Kar Yan) so sexy. :)
The taukeh sek chyuu siong," you guys want to eat bao yu chee (abalone soup) or not? cook with blah blah....."
"How much?" The guy asked.
"RM30."
"OK, get one. Got any other dishes to recommend?"
"How about Tofu?"
"Ya...good....ok...."
They ordered 4 to 5 dishes at the end. The bill should be ~RM70.

I could see that the lady was nodding - implying "Yes" everytime when the guy placed the order. She was satisfied.

I looked at this couple. I si peh yan seong this guy lah for his generosity. He was chasing this lady (I think not at the initial stage odi loh) and he really was not kiam siap in treating his lady good meals. I did not mean "good" by looking at what they ordered, but it's the 'sim' and sincerity that I should say - this guy was making an effort as what a NORMAL guy should do.

Fyi, this Fang Yuan is not a high class restaurant lah, just a normal small restaurant which is ...I should say that gradually going down the slope already since dikalahkan oleh Double Gd. Price wise, my table with 3 adults + 1 kid only RM35 (we got the hai som too).

That reminded me of ......... not only one, but a few LCL who behaved totally kiam ku that you can only react by ...
(a) turned speechless, totally shocked.
(b) pui chao nuar.
(c) shaking head, mou ngan tai.
(d) don't-you-ever-asking-me-to-look-back
(e) All above

I guess by one day when I am freelance later, may be I can start writing a novel and tell all of you the stories. :)

Sorry to be mean, but I just couldn't help it *#%x#*! when I witnessed today how a guy is treating a lady. It's a knife cut on me.

Repeat..

It's always our eating-out days whenever my tai lou is oustation for days.

Sorry, repeat.

What to do leh? Near somemore good, mah repeat pong chan loh.:)
DOUBLE GOOD.
Mongolian pai kuat, tofu, kangkung, luo han zhai.


Not near but reasonable + big serving.
TAI THONG.
Orr cheoun gulai, tang gua thng, tong chou pai kuat

X Chao

We 5x went to this X chao to have tong shui. Some had dinner, some had supper.

The restaurant owner forbidded me taking the photos of her menu and dishes.

She said," We do not allow ppl taking photos on our menu. Dishes too."

She said," A lot of ppl are taking photographs without our permission." but she did not explain why.

We just said OK, no problem at all. We respected her policy lah. After all we were not there to 'steal' her whatever stuffs or ideas wor. It's just sort of hobbies nia nia.

I don't know what has happened to them before lah.

I just had difficulty understanding what her problem is. As long as you are not revealing your secret recipe to public, what are you afraid of?

Hmm...may be she is scared of ppl following her menu design and dishes type/variety. *shrugged*

To me, this is rather ridiculous. How well can you control it? Nowadays ppl are having cameraphones with high tech zoom feature etc, let alone those 'needle' cameras.

Ok, say you are super famous, you got enough ppl to know your restaurant / stall already, no need ppl to kepoh.

If you do not want your restaurant to gain publicity, then why you still need to post advertisement in newspaper lately?

At the end of the day when we cleared the bill, she offered to give us the new bill with all the dishes names completely listed down there. That made me even more confuse leh, does that mean that she believed that ppl won't steal her idea by looking at the list (menu) but only pictures?

*garu garu kepala*


I felt like telling her this,"Taukeh sow, SMILE more lah".
