Lunch at K.L. Hilton

Pretty ladies.. busy.. serving me and other customers. They do dress in chinese way. This is normally seen in Chinese fine dining. I am really not knowing what is written on the wood. At time I feel I am out of place, when seeing Chinese characters. So there goes another banana man in this part of the earth. I seems to forget what attracted me taking this shot, the setting of place or the gurls.. hehehe..
A bit of confusion take place here. The main entrance of a restaurant. But we were sitted out side of it. I didn't manage to capture any of the room that we were borrowing. Flocks of white geese linings the way to the comfort room. There is even a bar, but this is the first time I've seen a bar in an Asian dining area. Hmm.. serving tea over the bar?... more like liqour in tea color.. hehehe..
Descending the flight of stairs. It is really hugh from below. This I guess shows how generous public is to the place. Where profit is reaped to fund the hugh icon. No doubt it makes the entrance a grand one. But I discovered it from the wrong entrance, therefore I am less enthralled. At time this photo was taken, this icon does enlivened the environment. With this size, definitely a magnet for photography.
Hmm.. who is this guy? Or should I put it as what is it? From the costume this guy is ancient by our human standard. A closer look there is a kind of currency on top. It is ancient eh. Definitely a rebuild in modern environment. Shall I call it or him a money god?

There are tables for two. the decorations is impressive. This is situated outside the room where we dine.
A long nose teapot. Ginseng tea is serve with this tea pot. This is my first time looking at such tea pot. Many styles were used when getting the tea out of the pot.
In a room with a table for dining. Before the arrival of the dishes, top of the table were the decorators. Figures and basket of spices. I don't get to see this before. This is my first time seeing such decorators on the dining table.
Top view of the plates, bowls, spoons, and pair of chopsticks were placed for each diner. Oh, the beatiful plate is for decoration. Once the dishes arrived, rice was served on a white plate, instead of the plate in the photo.
This is a large table that accomodated 14 of us. Again I have not tried sitting together with 13 people at one table.

The food is good but not fantastic. The price is high. This is also the first time I am dining at a high price. The highest I have dine before was around RM1,000.00.

I specially thanks my sister and my brother-in-law for the lunch.
