My happiness…

Well, the centre that I am presently attached to hosted its annual dinner for the staff last Friday night at this restaurant…

This is one of the most established Chinese restaurants in Sibu and has been doing very well over the years.

Ooooo…cloth napkin no less! At least, it has a little bit of class unlike most places that I’ve seen/been to. It has opened its sister-restaurant in another part of town – a really immense one that is even more grand…but although the food is just as nice, there have been a lot of complaints about the service – perhaps they just cannot cope with the crowd.

Well, the dinner that night started with the more-than-Four Seasons…

…followed by the claypot seafood, in place of the not-to-be-named soup…

Then we had the roast duck…

…with the mantao (bread)…

After that, there was also the broccoli plus abalone and mushroom dish…

…and a pork combination dish…

…by which time, I was already filled to the brim and could hardly eat anymore.

There was also fried midin with belacan, replacing the local Sibu Foochow-style sio bee which some did not seem to fancy but I did not touch it at all.

However, when this dish of cheesy prawns was served, I did not care that my tummy was about to burst and threw caution to the wind…

I think I had no less than three…and it was certainly worth squeezing them into that little space left in my stomach – leaving none at all for the fruits that came last. I could not possible eat anything anymore by then…

All in all, I think that was a RM350-a-table set dinner but they had to pay RM30 extra for the changes in the menu – the claypot seafood and the fried midin.

Gosh…that was supposed to be for 10-12 persons but I would think there was enough food for at least 20! I hope to go back there again when my daughter is home for the holidays. Anybody wants to tag along? LOL!!!
