Siu~V: lou sang 2010 at 'jui mao'

'Tis the season to 'lou sang' and wish for better things to come.

With so many restaurants offering this specialty dish, a few of us colleagues and ex-colleagues decided to try out the famous 'Jui Mao' restaurant in Queenspark, Jalan Peel.

I thought it would be directly translated as Drunken Cat Restaurant, but instead its English name sounded like something that if not pronounced properly, would make Mr Kee a very angry man.

I know there are certain wishes to chant even at the point of pouring out the condiments or sauces, just can't remember what. Probably like "pour properly oh...don't let the sauce drip outside the plate ah....distribute equally all around...not too much oil...not all the sour plum, wait too sour...." or something along those lines.

Then everyone grabs hold of their chopsticks, stands up and starts clearing their throat for...

shouts of wishes for anything under the sun! (or moon in our case since it was dinner).

If only it was that simple.. :)

I made it simple, I just wish to stay happy all the time :):):):):) (see, it's working already)

With everything tossed up in the air, around the plate and outside the plate, we got this nice crunchy mix of sweet and sour that everyone enjoyed sinking their teeth into!
