Chinese New Year Promotion

Since our graduation, we hardly meet up as we were all busy with our careers. This year, we make it a point to have a Chinese New Year  (CNY) gathering. Attendance was great, 7 out of 9!

We ordered the Chinese New Year package (7 Fortune Platter + Prosperity Salmon Yee Sang) which is good for 4-5 pax plus another set for 3-4 pax as we have 8 people in total (7 adults and 1 child).

Prosperity Yee Sang

The Prosperity Yee Sang is pretty unique as it's made of many different type of fruits (including dragon fruit) and the crunchy stuff is also different from the ones found in the traditional Yee Sang. My choice? I'll still go for the traditional Yee Sang as I do not quite like the crunchy stuff in the Vietnamese style Yee Sang.

7 Fortune Platter

The 7 Fortune Platter has 7 different unique Vietnamese dishes. Yum. All the dishes taste good.

Set B made up of 4 different dishes:

- Hot plate basil pork with nuts
- Treasure-stuffed tomato with fish sauce
- Stir-fried "yau mak"
- Fish fillet with pineapple sauce

The set too is not too bad. The stuffed tomatoes are pretty unique.

Our total meal came up to RM210.00 including drinks. Most of us ordered Orange Soda which was very refreshing.

We had a great time catching up and had long discussions why women do not trust their husbands to work in China - we have 2 classmates who are now based in China :). Wonder whether our next gathering will be in Wuxi or Dalian or Shanghai or Tianjin?

The only complaint that we had about the restaurant was that the table was not big enough for the 8 of us. We had to join tables or opt for a long table set-up :(

Pho Hoa @ The Curve

When Zureen suggested that the "4 se-kawan" meet before the fasting month, we all decided to try something new. We choose Vietnamese food and the restaurant is obviously Pho Hoa at The Curve. Pho Hoa is located at Unit A34, Ground Floor, The Curve Mutiara Damansara, PJ. They are hidden behind Baskin Robbins and Thai Express. Customers have a choice to dine in the open air area (in between the restaurant and the nice water features) or in the bright and chirpy air-conditioned interior.

Pho Hoa restaurant specializes in naturally flavored, healthy and delicious soups, a carefully prepared well-balanced meal for the health conscious. It is served with fresh coriander leaves, bean sprouts, hot chili peppers, lemon wedges and basil leaves and many choices of meat toppings like steak, meatballs, brisket and chicken.

We ordered 3 bowls noodles with everything in from their Adventure's Choice menu while Wai Leng settle for a rice meal, Cơm Gà Nướng Chả Giò (grilled chicken & fried roll served with steam rice and vegetable). I ordered Cà Phê Đá (iced Vietnamese coffee). For desert, we settle for fried banana with ice cream.

The all-in noodle is excellent. A must try. Coffee was super strong. I had to ask for syrup to be added.
