Jess's Place: Last dinner of year 2008

On 31/12/2008, we had dinner with some friends at Ming Tien Coffee Language near our neighbourhood. This is the restaurant, me and hubby had his birthday dinner, a money worthy one.

We were being arranged to a private room for dinner. It's very common in SZ, almost each and every restaurants have sort of private rooms, big or small, for group dinner. The private room we had our dinner is a big one, with an "advance" Mahjong table. We was told we could occupy that room for dinner and Mahjong for 4 hours.

Dining area.

Hubby reading the menu.

The "advance" Mahjong Table. It's an *amazing* creation.

How amazing it is??
Well, it could "wash" and "arrange" the Mahjong accordingly.
Let's see.
We push all the Mahjong into the hole in the middle of the table.

Then, it will starts washing.
When it's done, it will arrange them and the Mahjong will "appear" nicely on the table.
Done....The game may begin.

We are all puzzled how it actually recognised the face and back of the Mahjong. None of them were being arranged at the wrong side (all face down). Besides, another sets of Mahjong can be placed in the "washer" for washing and arranged while people is playing. A new game can starts just immediately after the earlier game over. We believed it's creator is a ^Super Mahjong lover^....

Oops....talking too much about the Mahjong.... :P Here comes our dinner. Me and hubby ordered a valuable couple meal.

It starts with a fruits salad which actually enough for 4 persons.

Then the toasted bread.

Borscht. A little spicy for me.

Glass of red wine. Not really nice, we suspect they mix it with plain water...Hahahaha...

My main course (aiya, forget to pour the sauce...) : Mandarin Duck Chop, stated in the menu.
Weird name..huh?? I also felt stumble, wondering what is that....
Well, it's actually mix chop of chicken and pork.
They named it "Yuan Yang Pa" in Mandarin and direct translated to English.
So it become "Mandarin Duck Chop"!
