New joint for get together

We had a father's day and a birthday celebration last weekend. What a group of people, all of us in the family turned up for the event, all the way from Ipoh and Singapore, and gathered in centrally KL.

It was a nice change from the normal dinner where we just sat and ate and chat while the children boringly sat at their places, trying to look for things to do. This time round, we did it aka karaoke style. I suppose it was too much influence from the TVB serials. Then again, it wasn't a bad idea at all as the children had so much fun running around in our private room, in fact too much fun until they were not willing to eat at all, while the rest of the people in the room rendering their favorite tunes, singing their hearts out.

I remember I first knew of these function rooms karaoke equipped, which serves meals, when we were in Taiwan last time. At that time, I don't quite understand why people would want to mix meals with leisure.. it's like oil and water... they shoudn't be at the same scene. Imagine eating halfway with your mouth full and oily and suddenly the song you picked is on air and you picked the mike to your mouth and... I think you get the picture alright.

Having finally been at one now, I think perhaps I had to change my mind about that. It certainly is a refreshing change of a family activity. We can have our dinner while the singer just sings all he likes to, perhaps we eating his share of food too. Best of all, the drink comes free flow, not like in karaoke outlets, where they charged you exorbitant fees for just a pathetic little cup of orange juice. In addition, we do not need to stay until the late hours of the morning and wake up the next morning looking like a poor dreary panda bear which do not belong.

These people are just brilliant. They have sold me the idea of dinner+karaoke, which I am dying to go for more! Anyone wants to join?
