My uncle had book a table at Royal Chinese Seafood Restaurant for 7pm 25.1.09. All the guest arrived the restaurant around 8pm and we started the dinner. The interior of that restaurant was fine and as can see that most of the Chinese community will have dinner with their family members in the restaurant rather than cook at home so that day the restaurant was crowded with people. Not only the Chinese were celebrating CNY but those angmo also celebrate it as well with their friends or family.
That restaurant hired lion dance performance from Mantis KungFu School and they had firecrackers and then come in the restaurant to perform. We all know that beside the lion dance always will have a taoist monk call Hungjunlaozu and as in the myth they believe that the Nian was then be the mount of Hungjunlaozu. The funniest thing is i dunno izit they make fun of it or do it on purpose because the Hungjunlaozu looks different from those that we saw b4. They decorate it to look like a punkster with ear rings all over the mask. Well, the performance was not that professional and well trained but yet still can entertain us as we know this is Australia and not in Asian country.
After the lion dance, dinner is about to start. we total of 12 dishes (9 main dishes and 3 desserts) The food was not really good as i guess that must be very rush or tired. If both reason also not then i think the restaurant must be lousy. They come out dishes quite slow and the services they provide is bad. the waiter even show face to us.
We finished the dinner 2 hours later and went to aunty's house and sing karaoke. It was fun and a memorable CNY eve dinner for me. I wish that the restaurant will improve next year and have a better servive too.
