(This email content has been edited to suit for public reading, I do not want my company to file a lawsuit against me for revealing the current project name).
Then the votes came in. The response were luke warm, a lot of the team mates shunned his idea for dinner. It doesn't stop my surrounding cubemates though, we loved the idea so we voted Yes. We head off from work around 6pm, only to found ourselves in the midst of a very bad traffic jam. Friday traffic is extremely crazy where a small little accident either along the coastal highway or the bridge, will grid lock a quarter of the islands traffic. It's the dinner that brings the jovial mood, so no matter how bad the jam turns out to be, our minds has already been poisoned; serenade by the thoughts of crabs and prawns awaiting for us to indulge.
As we arrived to this place located in Tanjung Tokong, I kind of like this place. This little fishermen's village eventually survived the 2007 Tsunami sweep. I've managed to take pictures of the surrounding area while awaiting for the rest to arrive. The view of the sea is not much of a view though.
The "Thai Pak Koong" temple is located near the seaside restaurant that we were headed to. There's also an arch built at the entrance to the seaside.
This is the seafood restaurant, Sea Pearl Lagoon Cafe.
The troupe that agrees to the dinner invitation, on the left is Wei Theng and Hui Koon and on the right is Soon Hup and Soo Bing. Angelyn came late... very late; because she had to go get a haircut.
What we had was the compulsory prawns and crabs; added fried Hor Fun and also fried rice vermicelli (mi fen) and of course barbequed Stingray, flanked by sweet coconut juice for each of us as we indulged ourselves with the food that we ordered. As we ate, we talked work politics, gossip about others behind their backs and of course anything rubbish that just crosses our minds. We just simply relaxed throughout the evening.
Overall, the food is really simple yet marverllous. What they did to the prawns and crabs are to season it with salt and then toasted. Through this way of cooking, it'll maintian the taste of these yummy yet devilish stuff. The Stingray is filled with spices flavour, which really opens up the appetite as well. There are still plenty of space to improve for this place especially the variety of how they cook their seafood. The fried Hor Fun and rice vermicelli tastes rather poor. The damage from this place is RM240. Having ordered at least a dozen crab served on our table, I think this is a pretty reasonable priced place. I'm giving this place a Rating 7 out of 10.
Angelyn gave us her final words about the meal though. Hehe!
As I drove myself home, I realised that I forgotten to take pictures with my colleagues during the meal. I guess that this picture that was taken seconds before reaching home helps. Silly me!
