Dinner @ Emperor Garden, Goldhill Club

This is a late post. Nine days late, to be exact. I hadn't wanted to write about it as I have been having some verbal constipation where food is concerned these days. But hubby wanted me to post it up as that is how he and I refresh our memory from time to time. That is, after all, the purpose this blog was created.


In fact, speaking of refreshing our memory, I had forgotten how long it took before Yin and Blackie could be allowed to meet without any supervision. It was interesting to read back what had transpired during the first two weeks afterf Yin's arrival at our home. I had forgotten that she was such a 'snotty' little empress with Blackie. I had wrongly thought that Yin got her diva attitude after having stayed with us for more than a year, but those posts reminded me that she has always been that way from day one.


Anyway, I digress. I'm rather good at that. A habit I can't seem to break. Okay, back to the topic. Hubby's birthday fell on the 2nd of September, and like any good hubby, he took me out for a little treat at Goldhill Club, of which he's a member.


The club had given him a RM50 voucher in the form of a birthday gift, and we could redeem it in either the pub or the restaurant located in the club. We decided on the restaurant (Emperor Garden) as it is a fine dining Chinese restaurant and we don't normally eat at those places, especially when it's just the two of us.


Since it's just the two of us, we were restricted by our stomach capacity from ordering more than four items. We had a bowl of shark's fin soup each, a signature tofu dish, salt baked prawns and a lovely cold dish of octopus. The total bill, including rice, tea, peanuts and paper towelettes came to RM105.82, which really wasn't too bad, considering we only had to pay RM55.82.


Shark's fin @ RM20 each



Tofu with sweet vegetables @ RM12




Salt-baked prawns @ RM24 for 6 pieces



Octopus @ RM18
