Pre-CNY dinner.

A week before New Year of the Lunar calendar, Ryan, the local Justin Lo look-alike but less handsome, organized some sort of a reunion dinner for the Fooxioners @ a restaurant at Jalan Alor. Dress code, of course must be red, must ONG a bit. This time, I managed to follow the Universal time indicated but everyone else suddenly decided to follow Malaysian timing.

The lot of us that was there. Guess the 'peace' signs.

Somehow, I felt that the auntie taking the orders as well as the chef do not really like us that particular day, as the food basically, sucks. I mean I've dined there a few times prior to this, and it never fails to disappoint me... For more opinions on the food, click there. Its basically reviews done by members of Fooxion who dined there the other day, just in case if you think my singular opinion might be biased. And it was quite expensive as well...

Clockwise from Top-Left: Stir Fried Brussel Sprouts with Mini Anchovies, Steamed Fish Teo Chew Style, Sweet and Sour Pork (Gu Lou Yok), Buttered Sotong.

Clockwise from Top-Left: Belacan Kangkung, Kam Heong Lala, Tom Yum, Roasted/Grilled Chicken Wings.

Anyway, we proceeded to the must have dish of 'Yu Sang' after the dinner, since the new year is just around the corner. Yah, I know the tradition of having it on the 7th day of the New Year, but judging from the formula below, I'd prefer it the modern way.

'Lou Sang' = long life and prosperity, hence, 'Lou Sang'++ = long life++ and prosperity++

As simple as simplecheryl ABC and 123. Now, you decide okeh?

Yu Sang. *slurps*

Let's 'Lou Sang' together-gether. Ah Yatz looks weird...

The aftermath, reminded me of last year as well. *click* You all ah, cannot Lou baik-baik one ah?

You can pose with everything if you try. Nobody dared to eat that later on.

Great company, albeit the disappointing food but its the company that counts right? Thanks to our little Ryan for organizing this dinner, and do remember that the next time you leave me waiting like that, I'm really gonna castrate you okeh? No more Ah Chongs then...

And finally, one for the album. And I know I look weird...
