Chinese food for dinner is sometimes the easiest. We're finalizing details for yet another project that is done on everyone's personal time and effort. Since it was supposed to be a dinner meeting, it made sense to feed everyone properly.
I'm very comfortable with this group of friends. We've eaten thousands of meals together for almost 20 years now. I could pick and choose the strangest thing to eat and they couldn't care less. I could laugh at their choice of food and be mercilessly ribbed for it. Only the servers at the restaurants would be little traumatized by our assorted requests for foods to be served differently.
Everyone was quite focused on the content of the discussion at hand and no one was in the mood for fancy at Wah Lok. So we asked for a simple menu with a little bit of meat for half the table. The other half wanted fish and soup. I overdid it on the garlic and green chilli. The restaurant was very kind to give freshly diced garlic! Yummz. The mouth smelt of garlic all night and even the next morning. Heh.
Dinner was over in 2.5 hours. The end of the meal concluded the discussion; we arrived at a consensus after some debate and provided a clear to-do list for all of us that would separately begin immediately.
