Topone KTV

"Suaku" me went to some new KTV place recently which I thot is quite comfortable. The machines used were similar to the KTV place which I went to back in Taiwan. Every level has a theme. We got the 5th level. Some kind of icy cemetry theme. Everything in the room is quite well-maintained.

We paid 19.80++ for 4 hours of singing which is inclusive of free flow of drinks. Unfortunately, the drinks tasted like syrup water. I ordered 2 cups but barely finish like 1/4 for each. That is my main complain.

No remote controls here. Jus a single machine to "dian ge". We all feel the software need some improvements. Abit difficult to find songs. We all had fun playing with the light functions (there was a disco light function). We were all disappointed where no smoke came out when we press on the 'smoke' button. haha!

some control buttons at the other side of the room for your convenience. Like those in taiwan.

The sign that got us laughing like mad! Haha!! The glass panel must have gotten exhausted from being stuck to the door for too long.

Ah Yat Abalone restaurent @ Turf city.

It was the time of the month again where we go out and splurge on food. This time its seafood dinner at Ah yat @ Turf City. I heard raves about the Alaska crab and the cheese lobster.

We reached Turf city earlier so we went ahead and choose the seafood first. There's a 50% off discount for all the live seafood. Surprisingly, although turf city is starting to look more rundown and crowded, it is still pretty crowded.

We chose the Alaska crab, lobster and scallops and then aheaded to the restaurent to wait for the kitchen staff to prepare them. $4oo plus worth of seafood! The scallops cost $4.40(discounted) each! Then the alaska crab and lobsted costed ard about $200 each.

Attacking the legs! We have to use scissors to cut the meat out cause the shell is kinda softer than the normal crab we eat.

The claw! The meat was sweet and heavenly.

Cheese lobster!!! Mmmm!!! yummy~~~ absolutely sinful!

The body of the lobster was used for the cheese lobster dish. The legs were used to fry noodles. Quite yummy too but the ginger taste abit strong. We also ordered a plate of sambal kang kong. It was pretty good but we were pretty stuffed by then.

The final bill came out to less than $500. We expected more. Thankfully not.

We then headed for the morton's bar @ oriental mandarin. Absolutely comfortable to sit down to chat and have a class of wine. They have really frnly staffs there. They closed at 11 officially but they stayed till 1 plus jus for us. Very good service.

Spent alot that night. I guess once in a while is ok to indulge and enjoy... shld not overdo... hehe
