Got a text message from my sister (Sheela), while I was trying to grip a thick notebook, a pen, my over sized wallet, my bank book and at the same time trying to key in the account number on the auto deposit machine at RHB Gaya Street.. Immediately when the phone beeped, everything I just mentioned just now fell to the floor, which gave me my 5 seconds of fame for the day as everyone in the bank turned their heads to look at clumsy me..
The message read : Will you be able to come back by 12:30?
Hmmm.... I wondered why she asked me the question. So I quickly finished up my bank transaction, and left the premises, while replying her text : Can't promise. I'm still at the bank. Why?
Sheela: Boss wants to bring us out for Dim Sum lunch.
Me : Hahaha... Maybe next time la.. thank him for me will ya..
So I leisurely drove back, and when I reached the office, I saw my boss's car parked outside. Apparently he was picking my sister and Wana up, and when I appeared, Sheela walked over to the car and asked me if I wanted to join. So I did..
Dim Sum... Hmmm.. Will we be driving up to KK again?
Apparently no.
Nexus Resort Karambunai has a Chinese Restaurant. Duh!!I was made to understand that the Dim Sum here is pretty good.. Good Dim Sum? How come I've never heard of this place before? Or have I just ignored it all these years? How come none of my foodie friends never talk about this place?
The interior was just average. I was actually expecting more, perhaps like the Chinese Restaurant at the Hyatt. When we walked in, there were 3 occupied tables, mostly Hotel Guests I presume.I also felt that the menu selection was limited. I guess I'm used to the trolley pushing servers that brings 'Loong' (Baskets) of tasty dim sum for selection. To be honest with you, I was also once a trolley pushing server when I first started working after SPM, so I know my way around the loongs and menu like the back of my hand.
So Boss made several selections, while Wana and Sheela talked gossip and made tiny laughters.
The usual came out : steamed bun, siew mai, har kau etc...
It was good! Not great, but just good.
And like always, with friends, stories came pouring out. Eventually every single morsel was gobbled up, when I realised that I didn't take any photos, except for the Sesame Balls, which was served pretty simple... Almost like a boat with oarsmen in it.
