Family Dinner at Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant

My brother and family spent the last few days of 2007 in Brunei Darussalam and New Year in Federal Territory of Labuan.

So we only had New Year dinner as a family last night. Mum was given a choice of my favourite restaurant ie. Gaya Sports Seafood Restaurant or Hong Kong Restaurant. She chose the latter simply because she hasn’t eaten there for a long time and for me, it is like maybe a decade.

Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant in located in Lintas Square and one of the shareholders is my ex primary school classmate Tony Chu. Actually he was more than an ex primary school classmate. We sat on the same bench and shared the same table in Primary Six. Just imagine the shortest girl (that’s me) and the tallest boy who also happened to be the Head Boy sitting together.

Tony was happy to see me last night and told my family that I used to be his girlfriend. (I didn’t want to embarrass him but I only told my family after we left the restaurant that I slapped him once on his right cheek for provoking me. Well, being the shortest in class and being bullied by the Head Boy was not fun at all. It was a matter of survival instinct, so to speak)

We had two sweet and sour crabs (flown in all the way from Sandakan), stir-fried beef, wet buttered prawns, stir-fried ostrich with ginger, ‘ku lou’ chicken (since the restaurant does not serve pork) and veges (kai lan).

All the dishes tasted good as compared to a decade ago. Well, it took them ten years to improve. Haha! So better be better than before.

The bill came to RM117.00 which was considered reasonable (must be the fact that I was his ex girlfriend (haha), with some discount thrown in) for six dishes of medium size.
