Last year, we went to Thailand and thanks to a special friend of my brother in law, he offered himself as the guide.Everything from day 1 was so well planned throughout the entire trip. He came down to KL for a visit yesterday,so we've decided to take him somewhere special for a treat.
Isabelle and Natalie waited in excitement at home prior to leaving.
And it was raining cats dogs yesterday. But since we decided to have our dinner in The Gardens,rain wasn't going to an issue.
This would be my third time visiting the Garden. Pathetic, huh? Well, If nothing to buy, why bother going to in the first place.
We're supposed to go to lower ground, but since the lift stop at the ground floor, we had to use the escalator to lower ground floor.
I wondered how much did they spent on extravagance as such. For a while, my attention was diverted on the beautiful decorations, that I actually lost my family. After 15 minutes of shooting, I received a phone call from my wife asking," Oi! Where are you?"
They placed Christmas trees along the walkway all the way till the end of the block!
Beautiful. They must have spent quite a bit on decorations.
I reached towards the end of the block, and wondered where did my family go? Boy, didn't they stop to appreciate the beauty?
I can't read Chinese, but since this restaurant serves roast duck, i think I can safely assume the signboard says," Canton Roast Duck Restaurant".
I has the warmth, soothing, and relaxing ambiance. The internal decorator even planted some bamboo trees at the sides of restaurant.Obviously, they are trying to recreate China, but instead, it turned out more like a tropical forest.
Everything is placed in order, even the chopsticks is carved with restaurant's name.
Pretty elegant,eh? I ordered drinks from the menu, which i must say non really suites my taste. Jasmine tea with lemon, herbal tea with red bean, I mean don't you think the combo its' all wrong? It's like eating durian with ketchup.
So, I chose jasmine tea with lemon, jasmine tea and lemon's taste are pretty predictable. But not the rest.
Why didn't I see that in the menu. I wanted something different, not something out of this world. This "chinese mild tea" looks tantalizing.
While my mind lamented on the mistakes in my order, little Natalie never fails to make me laugh with her trying to wink one side of her eye, suggesting that everything is "GoOD"
"Natalie, tried several times to wink an eye, but failed..."
Failed second attempt.
After a short wait, my dish arrived.
Char Siu rice looks wonderfulicious!Well, I would give a 4/5 for this Restaurant. The total cost for dinner for 7 adult can be aptly described as "the bomb that exploded in Bikini Island".
But once in a while it,ok. Especially for our Thai friend who was such a great guide during out trip to Bangkok last year. It's all worth it.
After dinner we went for a stroll....
Again, we came across "LOOOOUIIIIIII VUT TONNE"
My wife remarked, if just one day I could afford a bag like "THIS"!!!! She pointed excitedly.....
I told her if you carry a LV bag in KL city, the first thing that appears in the public's mind is whether is that FAKE......or original...
Ok, guys, since both my daughter got so excited with the Christmas decorations, the rest of the post will be filled with their picture.
Isabelle, you just have to get rid of those peace sign......
It didn't long for the "Monkey spirit" got into Isabelle. The moment she started striking ridiculous poses.
OK, times up. I've snapped hundreds of photos that night, but you'll be bored to see them all here.
So, after that, we decided to call it a night.
We went to the toilet near the lift at the Gardens........ but wait.....
RM5 for a piss!!!!!!??????
Then suddenly, i switched into clandestine mode.....
Ah,hah!!!Nobody there at the counter.Quick.I have to make a run for it! Well sneaking in, I was shocked to see a head raising from behind the counter!
Isabelle!!! Get you monkey bum out from the counter!!!!
I was so tempted to snap picture of how a RM5 a piss toilet looks like.....But unable to, as there are others there too.
Isabelle refused to budge even as I walked out from the toilet. I doubt anyone is going to pay her to pee.
Overall, we had a wonderful night. Family outing. A gastronomically satisfied man is a happy man.
