Lunch Party

I was never good with relative names (i.e grand-aunt or ku-ma and all that), usually i just call them aunt or uncle cause i am English ed instead of the traditional Chinese ed. Well last sat we had a gathering lunch to celebrate one of my closest aunt (i.e my mother's sister) daughter's birthday at a Chinese restaurant in KL Sentral's Hilton Hotel called Chynna restaurant .

It was a posh place if i might add and the security scrutiny was at the peak. Before you get into the hotel, your car would have to be scan for bombs by 2 security guard via boot check and the mirror with pole to check underneath your car. Got thru that with no problems lol. May i say the parking there as horrible, not the parking obviously, but the rates, RM6 per hour? OMG. Well its was a posh place like i said so i would expect the parking to be that much but i wouldn't be surprise if the car park was nearly empty. Why don't they lower the rates and get more cars? wouldn't that be more profitable than having an empty parking. The only reason for it that i can think of its was to deter people from parking in there and heading for the trains later thus filling up spaces that were meant for the hotel guests. Anyways lets forget about the parking and move on.

I parked my car and proceeded to head for the restaurant, when i caught a glimpse of my mom and her sister walking to the lift. Well after a little check on whether i lock my doors (yes i can be forgetful sometimes), i went with them to the restaurant.

(Yes those are dimsum bamboo trays and yes we did had dimsum for lunch)

Well then we proceeded to our table and ordered some food (didn't get the pic for them cause they were grab up too fast and yes again it was me lol). So after ordering it was a custom to the restaurant that we were served ginseng tea as a welcome drink to their restaurant. Then came this man i think who seem like a china worker sparring kung fu pouring the tea out of a long tea pot.

After enjoying the free show (from the kung fu guy), our food came and it was delicious. All the typical dim sum dishes (siu mai, ha kau, loh mai kai and the rest). Having stuffed ourselves, came the main event for the birthday girl, the birthday cake.

The cake was a green tea tiramisu (i think it was green tea but didn't ask). It was nice and soft. Nothing really special but not of the ordinary either. All and all, it was a treat to dine in that restaurant and don't ask me about the bill cause i definitely wouldn't be able to foot the bill anyways lol.

Well then, if you want something good and doesn't mind the paying the bill, i would recommend this place. Nice atmosphere, new experience (kun fu tea pouring) and good food.

Before i forget, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ^.^ and all the best to my cousin/nephew.
