Pre-Mother's Dinner

Mother's Day is two days away and we decided to celebrate it tonight as all restaurants will be too crowded on Sunday.

So Mother's Day was celebrated at Royale Bintang, just Sue Ching, me and the two kids. Alas, Mum and Dad are still is Sydney. If not, we would celebrate it together with Mum.

Anyway, Mum and Dad will be coming back this Sunday with ETA at 6:55 pm. The flight will depart from Sydney at 12:15 pm local time. So I guess it will be a bit too rush to celebrate in Sydney before the flight. So Ah Koh, instead of celebrating Mother's Day on Sunday, why not celebrate it tomorrow which also happens to be Mum's Birthday. Kill two birds with one stone.

OK! Back to my buffet dinner at Royale Bintang. The food was nothing to shout about and also the food spread was quite poor which is why I am not posting any pics (I also did not bother to take any). The price was RM55++ per adult. Normal buffet price is RM40 for adults and RM25 for kids (Allson's price is RM38 for adult and RM26 for kids). Just because today is BBQ night, the price was increased to RM55. We paid only for two adults because we insisted buffet for two adults to the waitress before we were seated. Kids above 4 will be charged kid's rate which I think is around RM30. Anyway, how much could a 3 year old and a 6 year old eat?

There is nothing extraordianry about the BBQ. Just an additional steamboat stall, a Korean grill stall and a BBQ pit which keeps on grilling the lamb the whole night (maybe just for show). There were also some mouth watering fresh fishes ("Hung Chou" fish was among them) on ice next to the BBQ pit. Sue Ching asked the guy manning the BBQ pit when they were going to BBQ the fishes and guess what the reply was? The fishes were only for display. What a joke!

Today also marks the last day of my food catering and it will be back to Mum's delicious home cook food from next week. Yippeeee!
