choy phyll's birthday at xenri

There is this Japanese restaurant tucked in a quiet corner inside Menara Hap Seng. A few of us recently came here for lunch. It was Choy Phyll's birthday and I'm a sucker for Jap food so I got to decide where to eat. wakakakaka...

I liked the environment - pleasant ambience, spacious and not rowdy...great place to dine and to actually hear what the other person is saying.

This is how the Xenri staff should greet their walk-in customers.

The imbalanced lighting at our table didn't make it too camera-friendly. huu-huu...

Choy Phyll with Fong - The white and blue shirt happens to be our corporate 'uniform' on 2 Fridays in a month.

After spending like half an hour studying the menu, Jin and I finally decided to share a Kaiseki set menu which had a 20% discount using Citibank card.

Costly set all right, but price seems reasonable when you share (also suggested by the waiter).

Here was what my set consists of...

The teriyaki chicken was good too, I heard...

See for yourself... :)

Teppanyaki set

Birthday girl's tempura set also came with a small sashimi serving. sweet.

The entire group, minus one 'camera-shy' person

Ta-daah...Out of nowhere, Ms 'camera-shy' suddenly wants to take a photo with the birthday girl! (Hope she won't kill me for posting this here..)

After makan2, we presented Choy Phyll with this exclusive birthday card...ok, this was actually the envelope.

Xenri gave me a foc loyalty card and a chance to win their RM 100 lucky dip!

Of which I guess I did not win coz no one gave me a call.. :(

So proud we managed to whip up this birthday card in a jiffy!

Seriously, take a look at our creativity and originality......(bangga)

For some reason, poetry is SOOOO the 'in' thing with us nowadays...lol

Even wrote a message on my boss' behalf

and we actually got him to sign on the card too!
