Changing Tables
Back to Lawry's. Good service.
At first, we were seated at the quiet corridor area, horseshoe-shaped sofa enjoying baguette and sour dough. Then there came a group of 12 people (big and small) holding their wines and cocktails. That's how the area buzzled starting with discussion of their seating plan. After they barely settled, the men were so loud that we couldn't hear our serving waitress. Thanks God for their simple menu, we managed to order without complication. Then a man-in-suit came and asked if we would like to switch to another area. Well, our faces must be very dark and agitated that they offered to re-seat us without we requesting.
Indeed, weekends may bring more families, friends' big gang dining to the restaurant. It would be wise to request for a quieter table if you desire one. Or, avoid weekends.
Sunday. Usual dim sum lunch with dad and mom.
Went to Ocean Terminal early to wax the car, so had dim sum at Harbour City 鴻星 while waiting. We were seated at a table that was big enough to seat 2 x oursevles. Yet the lighting was too dim to read and too close to the open kitchen - we were embraced by the greasy smell. This time we requested changing to another table. They did it, but sort of unwillingly - you could almost smell those grumbles. Whatever.
