RAMA V FINE THAI RESTAURANT RAISED RM 33, 667.20 LAST NIGHT FROM AROUND A HUNDRED GUESTS WITH EVERY SEN GOING TO THE SPASTIC CHILDREN'S ASSOCIATION FOR SELANGOR AND FEDERAL TERRITORY.

A record RM 33,667.20 was raised last night at Rama V Fine Thai Cuisine near the USA Embassy on Jalan U Thant off Jalan Tun Razak.

Said Andre Shum, managing partner of Rama V, "This noteworthy event was also to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Rama V which opened in 1994 in this very same location. This fund raising event is Rama V's Corporate Social Responsibility gesture for 2014. In previous years, we sold tables with the net proceeds going to various charities. But this year we invited generous and kind hearted guests who donated whatever amount they wanted with every ringgit and sen collected going towards the charity of our choice this year---The Spastic Children's Association of Selangor and Federal Territory (SCAS&FT). On our part, we sponsored the food, soft drinks and venue. Glasses of wine donated by sponsors were sold at RM 10 per glass."

Rama V is a converted bungalow with large garden that flaunts 5 private, freestanding pavilions built in Thai architectural style facing a lotus pool. 

Guests were treated to delightful Thai starters and cocktails upon arrival. As this is still the Songkran Water Festival, each guest was splashed with water from head to toe, destroying make-up, coiffure and handphones!

OK so this did NOT happen! But every guest was gently sprinkled with a few drops of scented rosewater for luck as they entered the dining room.

There was free flow of fruit punch and Thai appetisers like minced chicken with Thai herbs, beef satay and vegetarian spring rolls. This was followed by Mekong Platter of dumplings, fish cake, paper rolls with duck and pomelo salad with prawns. Then came Thai roasted pumpkin soup, steamed codfish in lime juice and asparagus tips and mango with sticky rice.

Dinner started with Thai classical dances and entertainment was provided by stand-up comedian Andrew Netto who made the guests cracked up with laughter. He also conducted the auction of wine and crochet painting by the Centre's denizens.

Kudos to Rama V, Danny Jee and Andre Shum for their kindness and generosity and may they enjoy great karma like me!
