WHY DINE ON A WHEEL CHAIR?

I cannot see the appeal of dining on surgical steel tables and sitting on a wheel chair, more so if you have to pay $148 per person for a set meal in cold hospital like environment.


No wonder my barely teenage niece, who heard of this place from TV and some 'atas' friends, did not dare approach grandpa and grandma to take her. She knew the reaction would be violently negative.


I have to live up to the 'fun auntie' image (mistake) and so i agreed to take her, but that was before discovering where my GST rebate was going to end up! When I called to enquired about the menu prices, I almost swoon (now I really need the wheel chair) wanted to back out of our deal. My next question was "can i pay by medisave?'

Anyway, to cut the long story short. it wasn't as scary an experience. In fact, contrary to a cold hospital set-up, it turned out to be very pleasant. The staff and restaurant manageress were warm and provided immaculate service. I did enjoy it all. i had to for that price. I might as well had fun with the special seats (see video), and my niece manja-ed her way for them to prepare the 'dragon's breath or nostrils', which according to them was only available in last season's menu--

At the end of it, I was glad i did not sign to donate the GST subsidy!
