Birthday-Do for Choy Phyll at Rendezvous

3rd Jan was Choy Phyll's 4_th birthday (seriously what's the number again?) and we brought her to the place which serves her fave tom-yam. If you've never been to this place, then let me introduce you to 'Rendezvous Steak Garden' or fondly known by our bunch as 'Long-tai-fu' (direct translation means to 'sidai seluar dalam'). Bearing no connection to any sort of indecency, this outdoor restaurant is a desirable family/ couple get-together eating spot. Located near the Bulatan Kg Pandan, this place gets more happening late into the night (as their live band only comes on around 9pm)
I like sitting near the fountain, facing the stage. Not the best place to be though, if it pours.
I just hope I'll remember to wear pants next time I'm there coz the 'skitos' can get real friendly with you.
After my umpteenth time there, can't believe I only just spotted this spelling mistake on their menu! By any chance, poutry = the art of pouting?
Let's take a look at their 'colourful' drinks menu ...
...before showing you the 'real deal'.
Somehow there's bound to be the 'traffic-light' combo drinks whenever you dine in a big group, eh?
(er, should have at least stirred the apple drink firstla)
Wow, the BIGGEST drink ordered by the smallest member of our group, Jin.
Sassy (read 'sissy') Roselle drink picked by Derek!
Down to serious business, Choy Phyll concentrates hard while reading her birthday card. And everybody knows that when it comes to birthday cards, we do a jolly good job keeping the reader 'entertained'.
See what I mean?
You know at some point, I gotta talk about the food right!
Here're my recommendations ...
1. Grilled Lamb Loin/ Shoulder/ Leg (whichever part works for you)
2. Mixed Grill as below (Chicken, Prawn - oh, so fresh and sweet!, Lamb/ Beef) Loved the way the prawns are stuck on a satay stick so you can easily nibble off the shells.
Also the birthday girl's main course...
I'm putting this photo because of Jin's newly-cut fringe! :-o
OK forget the hair, let's zoom into Jin's main. This is some Chicken dish...sorry I forgot the name but dang, it sure looks appetising!
3. Fish a'la Lemon (Yin's) - fish just crispy and lemony to perfection! Don't forget the tartar sauce.
Nasi Campur satu!
naah, it's their Chicken Rice (Sam's). A nice surprise, it turned out to be quite good.
4. Cheese-baked Escargot (snails) - the cheapest in town I could find (so far!) only RM 9+ for 1/2 dozen.
5. Presenting the star of the night...SPICY TANGY FIERY Tom Yam Soup!
Jom makan-makan...
Highlight of the night....
What's with the surprise look, Choy Phyll??!
The way these people are looking at that head popping out from the table is hilarious.
Choy Phyll finally gets another birthday cake after 20 yrs, and it turns out to be a Doreamon!
The resemblance is uncanny!
Some brain surgery done on Doraemon coz we had to eat the cake sometime!
Kept the face intact at the end...nah, we didn't have the heart to carve his cute face!
He had missing whiskers though.

It was a Choc Fudge cake btw.

Hope you enjoyed the birthday song the live band sang for you that night, CP!

Have a good year ahead.
