Ruby…

I am able to converse or communicate in Mandarin fairly well but when it comes to reading, my ability is limited to only a few words like those on the mahjong tiles. LOL!!! So, the truth is I am not too sure whether this actually means “Ruby”…

Anyway, we were back at that restaurant again as my mother-in-law celebrated her 77th birthday on the 15th of July and since my brother-in-law and his family were back in town from Bintulu last Saturday, we had the dinner earlier.

My missus bought a birthday cake for the occasion…

– my favourite, the Japanese baked cheesecake from WeCare Bakery.

Gosh! I wonder if the flames would be so big too when I celebrate my 60th in a couple of years time…

Well, we had the birthday mee sua, fried and served with eggs…

…and the pandan (screwpine leaf) chicken that night was really very nice…

The meat was very well-marinated, so fragrant…

…and absolutely delicious.

There was also the deep fried prawn balls…

…which I thought was just so-so or perhaps, we were already so very full by the time it was served. We used to have that same dish with the prawns still in their shells and I thought that was comparatively much nicer.

The salad sotong (squid) was served earlier and it was not bad…

…and so was the sweet and sour fish…

…though I would prefer the ones at Y2K or Sweet Family.

We also had the sea cucumber soup, the mixed bean combo and the  cangkok manis fried with egg. I did not take any photographs of those as I had featured them often enough in my previous posts.

The bill for the 8 dishes for 9 people came up to RM148.00. For one thing, the servings were huge and we could not finish some of the food. Perhaps they should consider reducing the portions and charge less so that there would not be so much wastage and at the same time, there would be more happier and satisfied customers who would only be too delighted to come back again…and again…and again.
