A much talked-about place that supposedly serves really gooooood Chinese food at quite a hefty price. I recall having a really satisfying durian pancake here umpteen years ago. Don't ask me who paid for it though.
This place is so posh, one must really mind one's manners here.
Which also meant I had my quietest lou hei ever.
"Mmm, this place is part of Tai Thong group of restaurants, so should be good", me thinking. 
It was a CNY set dinner and they served us the Salmon Yee Sang (yey!) instead. 
Deep-fried Crispy Pig Trotters with Sea Moss
Steamed Red Snapper with Mushrooms & Beancurd Skin
Baked Tiger Prawns with Butter & Spicy Sauce
Stewed Mixed Vegetable with Dried Oysters
Master Fried Rice with Assorted Waxed Meat
At this point, we were stuffed and had to tapao the rice!
Double-Boiled Ginger Tea with Aloe Vera & Glutinous Rice Balls
(a fancy name for something we the Chinese usually just call tong yuen)
New Year Sweet Delights
(so THIS was what they referred to as 'sweet delights'....I was half expecting CNY cookies already)

That night, I also learnt how Chinese mustard (known as kai lat) can be a great dipping sauce for lots of things like fish or even your bowl of shark's fin. Same effect as wasabi.
A very happy me after dinner... :P

You too would be smiling like this fella if you just had a dinner soooo sumptuous. 
Especially if it was a RM 698++/table dinner, and you needn't pay a single cent. :P
