Shattered Lamb

Dinner, at this Chinese franchise outlet near Pudu called 'xiao fei yang' (little fat lamb).

The stories my dad brought about them in China was that it was fantastic. Lots of good food and snacks and hors d'oeuvres. It ended up as a big disappointment. The food was not as fantastic as it appeared to be just normal steam boat with sliced lamb and beef. And both are not cheap. Plus the lamb used is not the original mongolian lamb, but NZ lamb. I've taste NZ lamb so much that its getting boring. Worse of all, the service was not up to standard at all. Small lamb fragments served instead of nice whole slices. And after complaining, what we were told was that, oh, thats kinda unavoidable cos the machine was still warming up. Taking things further, the soup was not as good as it could have been, but this is just because some of the spices needed are just plain rare in M'sia, with our onions and garlic less fragrant than those from China. The bottomline was, bad service, high prices and lousy food, not to mention really plain and horribly bland deco.

SO, at long last, we left after losing RM90.30, very little food, and me feeling hungry abt 30mins after dinner. This is bad. Yumcha time had better come soon. I know, I'm supposed to be on a slim down diet. Less input, more output. But that was almost no input. You cant drive without 'Fuel'. Same for me. No Fuel, No Work. Ah... Another failed attempt at a good dinner away from home.

Oh well, all i can do is look forward to the next feast coming my way, hopefully on my mom's birthday. Hakka 'peng cai' its called. Supposed to be a large pot stuffed full of good stuff. Damn. I'll have to stop here. Too much drool accumulating over my keyboard.
