Fine dining

My Singaporean brother and his wife came over to KL for the Hari Raya holiday with his mother in law and nephew as the food in Kl and the shopping very good bargains.i havent seen him for 6 years since the last time my younger sis in Singapore hosted Chinese New Year Reunion dinner at her home. They gave my blind elder sis and jun and me a scrumptious gourmet dinner last night at Paradise Dynasty restaurant in Paradigm Mall.My foodie sister in law has discerning taste in fine dining and we thoroughly enjoyed the different xiao loong bao with truffles n crab roe.then we had cold chicken roll in chinese wine like western chicken roulade .i love the cantonese steamed garopa with ginger scallion,the yang zhou fried rice full of wok hei and use japonica rice and juicy shrimps and a pancake with spicy pork fillet and steam fish meat in egg white. it was orgasmic food porn and the culinary team was excellent in its cooking skills on par with the Supertanker Seafood restaurant i ate for my cousins sons wedding. A quick check on the web showed Paradise Group holding is a Singapore based global brand that started as a humble seafood joint in an industrial park and now expanded to China,HongKong,Indonesia,Cambodia,Vietnam and even the USA.if the food is consistently good the repeat customers vote with their mouth. Most overseas Chinese keep their love of fine food in their cultural heritage.its a common bond uniting us although we are spread far and wide across the four seas . its a good thing they are improving immigration waiting time at border checkpoints as long queues are an agony especially toilet accessibility.im looking forward to the high speed rail link to travel down to Singapore to visit my relatives and siblings Im glad Fan Bing Bing is the ambassador for Melaka tourism and she looked stunning in the pink baju kebaya.China tourists like to rent the sarung kebaya to wear in Jonker Street with fake nyonya buns.I cant afford a pair of beaded kasut manik but i bought a cheap pair of mules for rm19 that i plan to put in floral design of beads using superglue gun I think the Chinese in Malaysia adopted Malay cuisine and turned it into fusion food of baba nyonya.Yesterday at the taman tun wet market,the Malay mak cik taught me to weave the ketupat casing using pandanus leaves.its intricate and lovely and the skill should be kept alive like how the Chinese use 2 bamboo leaves and straw to wrap bak chang rice dumplings.i bought kuah kacang and some ketupat kacang from Malay ulam stall.Mak cik Azizahs cooking is excellent and the peanut sauce i will use to make indonesia salad gado gado. In the wet market,i saw a young Malay family bringing their children marketing and the kind father bought two small sparrows and gave his young daughter to release them from her hands.this is a good practice of teaching compassion to free the caged birds.i praised the father for teaching his kid kindness to animals instead of teaching her violence and hate and giving her fake guns and swords to carry.
