Jing

This is about the 7th consecutive year that a bunch of us have had this 'lo hei' lunch together. Each year there is the mammoth task of fitting some 16 of us onto 1 jumbo-sized table. Last year's was really successful and held at Fullerton hotel's Jade. This year, we are holding it at Jing, at One Fullerton. Jing comes under the same ownership as the Majestic, Chiharu, Braise, etc.

As the private room wasn't available, we had no choice but to reserve a table in the main dining hall. Unfortunately, the table arranged for us was just a regular table with 15 chairs squashed together. It was apparent from first glance that there was no way that 15 adults could squeeze onto that table. We were disappointed but had no choice but to split ourselves into 2 tables. The wine we ordered was also a total letdown. DH was very blunt and told them to take it back as it tasted more like vinegar =P. The manager tried it and apologetically admitted that dh was right. Fortunately Win Yen and Valerie both brought along a few bottles of wines and champagne so we were spared the trauma of ordering again. Parking our car via the valet at Fullerton Hotel before taking a stroll over to the restaurant.
Outside JingDD was intrigued by the little pumpkin used as a soup 'bowl'. Her swipes at the bowl were thwarted by dh. This is one of the last pics I managed to snap before the camera died on me.
