Farewell & welcome lunch
>> Wednesday, August 6, 2008
I know it's quite odd to have both the contrasting occassions at the same time & place, but I thought it'll be easier to just plan ONE lunch & settle both the events together :P
It's madness...I ended up organizing lunch for 21 people (there were more than 21 in the invitation list, but only 21 can make it), & I even called to book the place & dishes! "Keng" le... we ended up at Ma Poh Seafood Restaurant in Taman Equine, Serdang.
ST just came on board our company & is in the same team as AL & gang, while BT is leaving the organization. It's a slightly disturbing event since we're talking about an addition to the group & a subtraction as well. Although it may sound as if things were balanced up, in actual fact, it's not. Nevertheless, everyone really enjoyed the meal & the fellowship :)

Everyone had a hard time deciphering what this was…hahaha…it’s beancurd mixed with fish paste, I reckon. It sure looks good, but it can do with more beancurd & less flour/batter

Some find the taste of this dish strange…they just can’t figure out what’s in it! The meat was a little tough, but on the overall, it’s not too bad. The gravy has a bit of black pepper & I think it has tomato sauce of some sort too…not really sure of this, but it’s an interesting dish

Ah Foo & QQ said it doesn’t taste like Belacan Kangkung! Not spicy enough la…and perhaps the Belacan is not a very high-class one :P

This is a rather interesting combination of veggie. I actually ordered the young French beans, but they didn’t have enough for 2 tables, so the boss person who talked to me suggested to mix the beans with asparagus. Not too bad :)

I find this dish too expensive for the portion served, but no one have any complains on the prawns thugh they did comment on the gravy…"not enough Marmite la!" *lol*

This was a complimentary dish, on the house. It’s not as if I’m their regular customer/patron, but seems like my visit to the restaurant made some impact…hahaha

After lunch, one of the bosses came over to introduce a Member Card to me. Interesting. “Wah…small restaurant like Ma Poh also can give out member card ar”. They’re part of this program called You Card, & there’s a magazine filled with various restaurants & retailers involved in this program, giving out discounts & the alike to their customers.
Ma Poh gives out 10% discount to the total amount spent on dishes to any of their customers with this You Card (Member Card). Not bad! :D
Check out what I saw in the magazine!! I nearly fainted…
Sometimes I wonder if the business owners name their businesses with such ‘eye-catching’ names for real or just to attract attention… :S

You'll be able to find out more about this member card in their website: http://www.youcard.com.my/.
Well, I figure the service is actually good. I reckon I'm now lured to visit the other participating restaurants that I can get a 10% discount or more from the total bill! Hahaha...
If you need more info on this Ma Poh Seafood Restaurant, you'll be able to find it in my previous post: Ma Poh Seafood Restaurant.
