Semi-Farewell Dinner for Sister Yih

Last week while have a dinner at a very upscale restaurant in Xiamen, (yes they do have the odd one) Yih mentioned a place where she wanted to dine that sounded very interesting. She didn't give us all the details, such as the name of the restaurant or what type of food it was, nor where in Xiamen it was located, just that she wanted to go there and thought we would enjoy it. All we needed to know is that we had to wear something cool, as it would get hot, and wear old clothing. Alrighty then...

You see, Yih will be heading back to Malaysia this week, staying for some months so she figured she wanted to ger her last fixes in before she headed back.

Tuesday comes and we meet up at Temptations by 6pm as ordered. We get to this restaurant and it was a very local Xiamen restaurant near Zhongshan Park. There were about 6 tables, and you basically cook the food yourself, very similiar to a Korean BBQ. Yih did the ordering, and most of the food we cooked, though some dishes were done for us. We had fish paddies, toufu, oysters, shrimp, mussels, beef, greens, and mango dipped in soya sauce. There was a reason you needed to wear your old clothes. Oil was pretty much splattered everywhere but we didn't mind as the food was outstanding.





After dinner, we went back to Temptations, where we indulged in a couple of bottles of wine enjoying the evening before Yih's sabbatical back to Malaysia.




We'll miss you Yih!
