Engineering Annual Dinner

I spent the evening with a bunch of engineers at Mantra Restaurant, Sunway Pyramid. It was Monash Uni's School of Enginnering Annual Dinner.

just me and my engineer

Located in Sunway Pyramid's old wing, next to the skating rink, it has a nice view of the Sunway Lagoon Theme Park and we had a glimpse of the fireworks (which was actually pretty pathetic compared to the mega fantastic one at Disney World)

Mantra is a Indian, Asian restaurant specialising in North Indian cuisine. Food was pretty good but if I had to pay full price, you wouldn't find me here.

This was what we had for RM80++ per head (free for staff, RM50 for spouse)...

Ajwaini Fish Tikka and Mushroom Combo

Palak Paneer (pureed veg - like baby food, and cottage cheese) and Aloo Gobi (vege curry)

white rice and Veg Briyani

Tandoori Murg (I think Murg means chicken)

Duck Mango Salad (more like Mango Kerabu with very few pieces of Duck)

Indian Dessert and ice-cream

Mango with Sticky Rice and santan (to clog up your arteries)

Goan Fish Curry ( I skipped this dish because it looks like what my kids produce from their rear end. Edwin says it tastes sour)

Lamb Rogan Josh (taste pretty good. The meat was juicy and tender)

Murg (chicken) Makhani

round one

I liked the Duck Mango salad most and also the Mango Sticky Rice.

round two

It was nice to be able to dress up and go out but I couldn't help wondering if the kids were ok all night. I think they were because I came home to find Joy-Anne asleep and Joseph was on the bed, trying to go to sleep.

round three....more Duck Mango Salad for easier evacuation of faecal material

I must have eaten quite a lot of Duck Mango Salad because I had to go bom the toilet before going to bed.

yummy dessert

I think tomorrow I'll have to go easy on the stomach.....have to maintain my good looks (*cough! cough!*) mah....

flowers from my darling husband....no occasion - just for fun!
