Festival Dinner

I had dinner with Elizebeth DL and her hubby at Ming Tang (明堂) restaurant. They serve cantonese cuisine. We ordered some cold dish appetizer, pork ribs, salted prawns, kailan and some tang hoon.

Here is one of our cold dish, pumpkin with lily:


This is another set of Ming Tang cold dish set, served in a very nice decorative way:

This is the salted prawns. Damn salty. All the prawns are buried into a bucket of salt. We have to shake off those salt before eating it... else I think we will get kidney stones the next day.

Then we had kailan. The first dish of kailan turned out to be bitter. We complained about it. The waitress still had the guts to tell us that kailan is supposed to taste bitter. Elizebeth DL was so fierce. She told the waitress: "you think we never had kailan before??". Wah... I also scared.

So they finally change another dish of kailan for us. This time, the kailan was much younger, tender and not bitter.

But then, I found a worm in the kailan. Take a closer look, but my phone camera could not focus.

I complained again... but as a joke. We know that its harmless, and having a worm there means its usually pesticide free, thats why this kailan does not taste bitter, I think. The waitress say just asked me not to eat it and says that she will compensate is by giving us more fruits for desserts.

Ok lor.. anyway, it's not a big issue. We are nice customers. Just don't come tell us its supposed to taste like this and that... we are not sua-ku.

Overall, it's an enjoyable dinner. I am glad I did not celebrate Mid Autumn Festival by having dinner alone. :)
