There we were, my missus and I – stuck in KL on Chinese New Year’s Eve…and it so happened that my auntie was in town with her daughter and her grandson, staying in this hotel…
…which was very near the one where I was staying. I stayed here once before when I won a free one-night stay, inclusive of breakfast and buffet dinner for two for a poem that I wrote in a National Day Creativity Contest on national radio – TraxxFm.
Anyway, my auntie asked us to join them for the New Year’s Eve reunion dinner…and initially, we wanted to go to Esquire Kitchen but it was closed for the festive season. In the end, we settled for the poolside…
…barbecue and steamboat buffet at…
in the hotel itself.
Here, you can have glimpses at the salad, fruit and sushi bar…
…and the dessert spread…
There were a lot of choices as far as the meat and seafood were concerned…
…and we really had a feast that night…
The others had wine but I did not drink a drop. Instead, I went for the dessert and I particularly loved their durian dodol, so much so that I had seconds…and thirds…
So, thanks to my auntie – there we were…all the way in KL, getting together and having our own “reunion dinner” on Chinese New Year’s Eve. It certainly did not turn out too bad after all…
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
