RAMA V RULES A BEST THAI FINE DINING RESTAURANT IN KUALA LUMPUR IN A STANDALONE BUNGALOW!
*****************************************
Now celebrating its 22nd year, Rama V, named in honor of one of Thailand's greatest kings, was refurnished last year in a million ringgit renovation and has been restored to its pristine splendour.
Host with most Andre Shum, a partner in Rhombus Group that owns Rama V along with a host of other popular restaurants including Dancing Fish, Fa-Ying and Fa-Ying Street and even the speakeasy Suzie Wong club, hosted a most exquisite dinner to celebrate the birthday of Dato Kee Hua Chee. His birthday started on 7 January and ends on 7 March.
If you have the audacity to ask why so long, his answer is; "My mother went into labour on 7 January and it took me 2 months to emerge from her womb so she finally delivered me on 7 March". Can or not?
Andre Shum was accompanied by wifey Sherlyn Koh who is a professional belly dancer and yes, her body is to die for---lucky Andre who gets to eat her every night while we had to eat his food only.
Other guests were Dato Sri Princess Dr Becky Leogardo, Dato Julie Lim of House of Tatiana and Lampe Berger the revolutionary fragrance dispenser which purifies the ambient air while perfurming it, Dr May Tan, Lillian Tan, Errol Tan, David, sex goddess Corinna Tan who sells million ringgit yachts and lives a million dollar lifestyle (even after conversion) while the star of the evening was Albert Lim, project director for Iskandar Waterfront in Johore, Ekovest Bhd and River of Life project in Kuala Lumpur. Albert Lim stunned everyone with his astonishing depth of knowledge and expertise and he is all of 25, even younger than me though some assume he is my father due to my extreme youthfulness. His wise and witty repartees had all of us in stitches, thankee!
The table was elegantly and stylishly set with glass canisters containing a red rose reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast. Each plate had a hand written welcome card with name of each guest and a note filled with pretty emoticons like the sort we send endlessly daily. I was about to use it to light my cigar when I was told it was our menu!
A menu without a single word in English or any other language! Only, upon close inspection, small dainty images of normal objects like chicken, avocado, crab, prawn, octopus and mango. It dawned upon us (we all went to school so are very intelligent) these represented the food we would be getting which made sense.
What did not were tantalising images of money bag, diamond, river, gun, snowflake and empty sea shell. Andre Shum grinned, shrugged and said we had to wait to find out.
And there were a staggering 16 dishes!
Mercifully each dish consisted of a mouthful though most had to cut their portions except Dato Kee Hua Chee who had a big mouth as all will attest on the Bible and Kamasutra.
All swore it was the most unusual, unheard-of and exquisite repast we had in living memory. This exclusive menu costs RM 380 per person and is worth every sen! Trust me on this!
RAMA V, 5 JALAN U THANT, OFF JALAN TUN RAZAK, ACROSS THE AMERICAN EMBASSY.
