It was a breeze driving into Mid Valley City and it only took us under 5 minutes to get a nice parking space yesterday… for once! Many KL-ites had already left the city for their hometowns to celebrate CNY. This year we are staying put in KL again. We waited for almost 40 minutes just to get a table for lunch at the Han Room @ Gardens. I was already getting really impatient and found it ridiculous having to wait so long for a table but my foodie hubs, a fan of the Han Room was for once very, very patient waiting outside the Han Room. When my impatience got the better of me, I told the hubs that we should just eat in another restaurant. As I was walking to Hokkaido Japanese restaurant to check out the crowd, the hubs called me on my mobile phone, telling me that our table was finally ready but when I walked back to Han Room, the staff were still setting the table and there was another 15-minute wait. All in, I think we wasted an hour of our time just for a table to have our reunion lunch! Though the food is pretty pricey, this restaurant seems to be perpetually crowded and a long bee line is forever seen at the entrance of the restaurant.
Sorry, no pix of food taken as I was in no mood to snap pix. The long wait had dampened my mood and my tummy was rumbling. After satisfying my growling tummy, I was in a mood again to ‘start work’ and fished out my camera to snap a pic of the bill haha!
Here’s what we had and the price breakdown…
There were 2 portions of yee sang as the bigger portion was for our reunion dinner at a relative’s house that night. I really think that the yee sang was way over-priced and the portion was pathetically meagre. A few fistfuls of julliened carrots, radish, turnip, pomelo, crackers, sesame seeds, thick syrup and a handful of jelly fish need to cost RM68 meh? Next year, I will make my own yee sang!
Very pricey for a lunch eh? And I wasn’t really satisfactorily full. Oh well, that’s what I had expected from this restaurant on the busiest day of the year.
After lunch, it was Borders again!! Daddy and I think that books are one of the best investments for the girls so buying them books is like a monthly routine now rather than a reward.
When my Geronimo Stilton craze girl read that free Geronimo Stilton ang pow packets will be given free for every purchase of 2 books, she begged me to get her 2 books instead of 1.
So this is Alycia’s CNY pressie…
Here’s wishing everyone a very, very prosperous, healthy and smooth sailing year of the water dragon!

Haiyo woman, you ate at the Han Room during CNY what do you expect the bill to be? Haha, for how many pax? We got slaughtered for RM80 for few pieces of char siew and siew yoke at a chinese stall today, just coz he’s the only one opened. Worse, the seller was so “chuin”! Gong xi fa cai to you and family!
Irene, 2 adults, 3 kids + 1 maid. Now’s the best time for restaurants to slaughter us!
Oh we never tried Hans Room before. I supposed the food was good to get your foodie hubs’ approval. Must try one day..
Gong Hei Fatt Choy again !
