    Gulps.. RM348++? Well it is Michelin star of course… but for me I’ll be taking the alcoholic option which would cost more. Are you going becky? let me know!

    1. rebeccasaw

      Ahhh I would normally go for the non-alcoholic option. I don’t think I’m going babe. Budget is tight for the last few months and biz not quite improving.

  2. Greg

    If you are going (which I think you will) I recommend Serge. Dined at his place before with my wife and we were pleased with the meal.

    1. rebeccasaw

      OHHHHHHHH! OK I’ll aim for Serge’s sessions then! Thanks for the tip! 😛
