Dinner At Imbi Palace

Since we could not go back to Ipoh for CNY this year, my parents came to visit us yesterday. Last night, my dad treated us to a sumptuous reunion dinner at the Imbi Palace Chinese Restaurant. These are some of the dishes that we ate:




This dish was selected by me.... The Four Seasons, which is my all-time favorite Chinese restaurant dish. We made a mistake and did not specify a budget for this dish and the smart alec captain must have given us one of the most expensive ones. This dish alone cost us a bomb at RM300!! It consists of deep fried fresh oysters, fresh big scallops, sausages wrapped with bacon and fresh shitake mushrooms.


2 types of chicken dish and a stir-fried veggie with Chinese sausages and intestines sausages.

There was also a jelly fish 'lou sang', claypot pig's trotters dish and a 'lou foo pan' fish (Tiger trout??). The fish cost a whopping RM250 and it was not worth the money spent at all as it was overcooked and the meat came out tough. We asked for a discount from the captain as we felt cheated coz at RM250 for a medium-sized fish, we didn't get the quality that should have come with the price.

The damage to my dad's pocket? A choking RM800++ bill!! There were 10 adults and 2 kids. There is no better time than the 15 days during Chinese New Year for restaurants to slaughter merry makers and diners, eh?

I love the Four Seasons too. Boy, it sure is expensive!!! That's very sneaky of the restaurant to place the most expensive dish for all of you.

Hey, how come Alan is not in the photo with his angels? :D
