Update : Hi all. Sorry about this. This was actually a draft post that got messed up since Blogger.com has not behaving normally the past few weeks. Or it could have just been the server. Ah well. Below is the completing posting.

Guide : M – Male. F – Female. # – unique number to that particular person.

Last night, I attended a dinner with my colleagues for Mr. H who is leaving for Singapore next week. We arranged for a dinner at Rock Road Seafood, one of the oldest seafood restaurant in Kuching. It’s a place where the food is great although a bit more expensive than at TopSpot. Still, we wanted a private room to ourselves as we were going to be noisy minus too much liquor. The set meal we chose was Menu 4.

The blog posting will be slightly different today. It’s going to be filled with conversations that took place during the dinner. Yes, we’re all a huge bunch of jokers.

M1 starts telling jokes that are pretty disgusting i.e. the old man on the bus spitting into a Milo can and drinking up all his saliva again.

Wena : Doh! Why you tell that kind of story just before eat-eat one?

F1 : He want us to eat less so he can eat more. Sure one!

M1 : Haiya! So that I can have more.

M2 : This table for sure all food go through very very fast one.

F2 : Yeah yeah. Last time I sit with them ah, all finish fast fast.

Braised Seafood Soup with Beancurd.

F2 : (Pours vinegar in soup). Aiya! Put too much!

Wena : Put more soup in lor. Still got some in big bowl.

F2 : Aiya! Waiter take bowl too fast!! Still got some more soup there.

Cold Dish Combination : Spicy Pickled Jellyfish, Salted Chilled Chicken Slices, Fruit & Prawn Salad (the mountain of mayonnaise), Century Egg, Prawn + Chicken Meat rolls

M3 : Aiya you people so fast. (Serves E next to him). Pity F3 who isn’t fast enough to eat.

M4 : Aiya, you next to her can serve her lah. You fast mah.

3 min later.

Wena : Wah! So fast finish one.

M1 : It’s called TEAMWORK.

M2 : Too slow = no food. Simple.

Sliced garupa in Szechuan Style. Actually, it was pretty good as the fish meat was soft.

M4 goes to washroom. Comes back.

M4 : Wah! No more fish one ah. (Walks to 2nd table)

10 other guys screaming : Wei! What you do here! Go away lay! (Sounds of chopsticks hitting M4 chopsticks). M4 returns to table.

M1 : So little meh.

M4 : Other side hit my chopsticks. How to take? Stupid lah!

Mr. H gave a short farewell speech…

…which was interrupted by the arrival of the next dish : Boneless Chicken with Lemon Sauce

M2 : Go on go on talking. Distract people from the food. Then I can eat more one.

Wena : Doh!

Stewed Cabbage with Chicken Meat

Wena : Are you sure this is nice?

M1 : Yes yes. It’s the sauce that’s nice. Try it.

Wena : Hmm….nice.

Silence on the table as everyone is eating.

M7 (at next table) : Woi! You people so quiet! Eating is serious business ah! Like study for exam. Scary man!

Braised Sea Slug with Black Mushrooms.

M3 : Eat eat eat eat…must finish one.

Fried Noodles with Shrimps (Prawns).

M2 : Hmm…taste like Maggi Mee lah.

M4 : Just eat lah.

M1 : Come come come…everyone must help finish this one. TEAMWORK mah!

Wena : Yeah but you also must TEAMWORK to eat one bowl lah.

M3 : No thanks for me. *Covers his bowl with his hand.*

M1 : Aiya, come on lah. *Strokes M3’s hand.*

M3 : Wei! Don’t lah! *Moves hand away. And tries to cover his bowl again. Then 3 guys starts stroking his hand while M1 quickly fills his bowl with noodles.*

M1 : You’re very good at dividing the desert.

Waiter : Must divide equally one. Has to be good mah.

*Round applause around the table.

M3 : Hmm…nice. What’s the glass turn-table called.

M2 : It’s a Lazy Susan. But not for eating lah!

The entire set meal per table is RM285 (USD75). One table sits 10 people.

So, that’s our meal for that night. Nice and yummy. The party was a blast and Mr. H definitely enjoyed himself and his gift.
