This is one of the new restaurants that we dined at this year. In fact, for a change of scenery, Ban had his birthday dinner with some friends here. It's spacious and clean, with helpful staff and boss. Most importantly, their food is good. One of our favourites is their Tornado Curry Chicken Rice: It's not spicy at all so that children can have it too and so, upon my feedback, they start providing me chilli flakes upon request, as pictured above. Another dish that I like is Salmon Sashimi Salad: All ingredients were fresh and combined well together. The best deal is their weekday set lunch where ordering from a list of 8 meals will get you a cup of refillable (roasted) barley tea and a choice of potato salad, edamame or vanilla ice-cream. We always order edamame. We loved the barley tea and would order it even in the absense of this set lunch.

When I purchased the MAS flight tickets , I also requested wheelchair assistance for my mum, like what I did with SIA (now only the return flight) and Qantas (for the domestic flights). It was my first experience requesting such assistance and so I was a little nervous. The first flight of our trip was the MAS flight from KL to Melbourne. We first had problem locating the business class check-in counters. So, I asked a staff at the priority counter and was told that business class counters are at a different row and that passengers can check in anyway, unlike what I was told over the phone i.e. 3 to 4 hours before departure. That was a bit a good news: we could then check in our luggages and proceeded directly to the MAS Golden Lounge. Because of the stop at the lounge, I thought the easiest was for us to wheel mum but MAS said mum had to be wheeled by a staff. Fortunately, they were ok to do 2 trips: one was from counter to the lounge and then, at an agreed time, from the lounge to th...
