We took the man's parents out for Mother's Day lunch at Yan Ting.
On the weekends, Yan Ting has this dim sum buffet that is currently, imho, the best in town. The kitchen has cut back on the oil used in the dishes and beefed up its selections on the menu.
I'll admit, we really didn't mind the choice of champagne that came along with lunch.
After the initial hiccups and strange food mix, I think the Cantonese restaurant has kinda understood the Singapore taste in Chinese food and has adjusted accordingly. I wasn't at all impressed at the start. However, my experience at Yan Ting this year has so far been pretty good.
Since I've decided to snub Shang Palace till they improve their service, Yan Ting is my current to-go place for Cantonese food. Plus they always accommodate all my naughty requests. Heh.
Today, the kitchen ran out of lobsters. The manager was very apologetic. He replaced it with abalone and spinach. It was still a tad disappointing though. I really liked those steamed lobsters. Luckily the rest of the food was superb and the service was attentive.
We eat with the parents twice a week. It gets rather challenging to take them out sometimes. Often, we run out of venues to explore, especially when the father isn't too adventurous with food. So today, we're glad that the parents enjoyed the lunch tremendously.
I like seeing the parents smile. They do spoil me so. It doesn't take too much effort to make the parents happy. So it's really easy to organize meals and outings with them.

brad: yup. no other choice then the dim sum brunch.
mistipurple: only because i truly enjoy their company and conversation, not because i'm expected to do it. the parents take us out and buy us food more than we do for them. heh.
Ever wonder why Asian are in most cases more adventurous when it comes to food?
Twice a week! That's very good.
I only managed once a week after I was married... and now twice cos Nat is at their place...;)
kikare: hahaha. dunno! we eat more crappy stuff and grow up with strange things as food?
lms: not difficult coz we all eat out often and will just buzz the parents to meet somewhere. like us, they eat late. so it's good that way. or we'll just do drinks or attend events together. :)
