Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone: Last meal with Cheryl

Cheryl, who is my guru at my ex workplace, will be leaving Malaysia for Australia in a few days. We decided to have a farewell dinner with her at the infamous Look Out Point.

Now, why did I say that Look Out Point is ‘infamous’? Two reasons. Firstly, the food here sucks eggs and 9 out of 10 people would agree that it totally isn’t worth what you’re paying for. Secondly, if this is your first time going up, unless you live around Pandan Indah or have been to this place before, it is near impossible to arrive without getting lost. But hey, these two points aside, we’re here for the environment as well as magnificent view of KL city at night. What better way to have a nice cosy dinner than to have it with several close colleagues. We aren’t exactly colleagues anymore (I know, I’m he odd one here), but we do still constantly keep in touch.

Anyway, talk aside, here are both the lovely Cheryl and Jane (aka Ah Ngor) looking good and attractive as always.

And here we have Chze Siang (aka Lim Beh) in his paparazzi mode. Check out his huge flash. That thing weighs almost as much as the camera. Photography is definitely a rich man’s game. The small, white, plastic thingy alone cost him RM50.

Unfortunately Cheryl had a bad cough and she settled for something light (read: bread and salad). Here she is, the star of the night.

As I mentioned earlier, this place has a reputation for serving sucky food. Let’s look at the damage done. I ordered a cheese chicken chop and chicken mushroom soup. Both were actually acceptable. In fact, I finished all of my food and I thought they were pretty good. FYI, we ate at the middle restaurant called 加油站. I was half expecting the bill to be sky high, but it came out quite reasonable. Around RM25 per head. Not too bad eh?

Much to our disappointment, halfway during our meal, we noticed that the Twin Tower lights were getting dimmer. I’m not sure what why it was so, but we were guessing that electricity ain’t cheap these days, and therefore somebody had to pull some plugs on the tower.

Dim towers aside, it was a very enjoyable night and we did a lot of chatting, just like the good old days. My best wishes to Cheryl in her future undertakings and hope we could meet up again one fine day. Goodbye Chui Yun, do keep in touch.

UPDATES ON 9 DECEMBER 2008:

Chze Siang aka. Lim Beh was kind to send some of the pictures he took using his camera. And he's sending it all the ay from Taiwan! It would be a crime not to post it up. Lets have a look at the imports, shall we?

Obviously, we would want to leave our mark at Look Out Point. But carving names, sticking gum under tables and vandalizing isn't something we do. So we decided to write our names in thin air using only our handphones. Voila!
