delicious. well, too bad i cant take prawns. liangzai & MIL ate more than 2 and they are praising it. Great, Fantastic!! ok ok... dun seduce me... but i oso the kiasu (scat to lose) type. i take 3 scallops. wei.. the scallops is bigger than 50 cents and it's veli thick!! so better eat it rite?

Next, the Pig Foot + Sea Cucumber Soup (猪脚海心汤)

wahhhh... the best among the rest. aiya, i'm soup lover ma.. hehe... of cos will get attracted to soup rite. well, it's veli sweet, nutritious, not oily, and u stil can smell the sea cucumber fragrance!! do u realise tat there's a mobile stove??? the waitress told us.. this pot ar.. must put on the stove and the soup must served HOT!! or else not nice. ya, she's rite!! i dun like cold soup... hehehe.. liangzai likes warm but i like hot boiling one.. hehe.. taste better!

Mango Fried Chicken with Mayonnaise topping (芒果炸鸡) + Chicken Slices Kerabu(鸡丝莎律)

can u see the chicken wing?? mine is special one.. my MIL get the chicken wing for me ler.. and Steve jealous when i makan it.. :P dun care.. i took a lot of mangoes tat day. calories boost up. teruk teruk.... nvm lar.. makan first.. great combination. i think i wil try it at home. the kerabu was quite sourish wif some additional of fried baby prawns and chili padi. nice too! Sis Fen finished the kerabu.. haha... quite appetizing man!

Fried one => they fried it wif garlic and spring onions. i think the spring onions are quite fresh. i stil can taste a lil of the spicy flavour from it.. good... and it look veli greeny.
Steam one => snow fish steamed wif light soy sauce. omg~~ reali FRESH!! liangzai dun take fish one. after i psycho psycho him. he tested a bit and he said GOOD one.. not smelly. aiyo dear, if smelly one tat means the fish is not fresh. Fresh one veli nice one!!

Last but not least,
