This was my second time at the Pavilion in KL but my daughter’s first…
She had never been there before. It looked like they had put up the Chinese New Year decorations…
…and thank goodness they did not play those rowdy songs that would drive me up the wall – or at least, not much…and not at the Pavilion. For one thing, I did not see very elaborate festive decors at most places unlike those that they had for Christmas…
At the Federal Hotel, they only have one miserable banner, that’s all! I wonder if that is an indication of the severity of the economic downturn. Perhaps Chinese New Year is not so grand in KL as everybody would be heading home eventually when the time draws near, leaving behind an almost deserted ghost city?
Well, it was my second time too and my daughter’s first time at Pappa Rich along Jalan Bukit Bintang…
I was here once before with my ex-students, Walter and Dudley. I went there again, this time for dinner, on our second night in KL with my daughter and her friend, Soleha. My daughter had the kway teow th’ng with shredded chicken (RM8.90)…
…while Soleha had the same but with prawns (RM9.90)…
…I had the steamed bread with curry (RM6.50)…
…though I was sure that in the menu, they had a drumstick in the photo – not breast!
I also ordered the vegetarian lor mai kai (RM4.80) to try…
…and the taufu fua (RM4.50)…
Business was good and there were quite a lot of people and there was one table that was somewhat noisy. Other than that, everything else was ok and the food was to our satisfaction…but when I wanted to settle the bill, I was told that they did not accept credit cards. Good grief! Not that it was some kind of coffee shop or roadside stall!!! Luckily I had enough cash on me.
One thing to their credit though was that the waitress took the trouble to run after us to return the umbrella that Soleha had left behind. Come to think of it, they were all very nice and friendly at that place. If not for the 10% service charge, I would have left them a generous tip! Hehehehehe!!!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
