Upon hearing that the man's parents went to the newest steakhouse in town over the weekend, along with other meals of pasta and whatnot, plans for a steak dinner were hurriedly scrapped in favor of a Chinese meal for his father's birthday celebrations. Lighter food. Not ideal for the folks to be eating so much red meat within such a short span of time.
Lighter flavors were found at the refurbished Hai Tien Lou (海天楼), now located on the third floor. Overlooking the lobby, its encased vibes are so different from the breezy sunny feel while on its old premises on the 38th floor. No more view of the sky and the city. Having come by twice since the move, and a third tonight, it still feels so impersonal. Like we're digits contributing to the F & B venue without bothering to mask it or soften the blow. Well, we are, and we did. Thankfully, food is still good, if not better.
The family doesn't like sweets all that much. Through the years, a whole birthday cake is often forsaken when the table is only made up of us four. In its place, one generous slice of cake would be more than enough to share. Tonight, Hai Tien Lou arranged for a not-too-sweet mild piece of mango mousse for the man's father.
