We had a casual dinner at ShangPalace with some friends and acquaintances from the Chinese Embassy. Nicole was all excited at the mention of dinning in a hotel. She exclaimed " oh! that is great. Can I order room service?"
Then, we visited the loo half way through dinner. On the way back to the restaurant, deliberately I asked Nic " Where is the restaurant? I think we are lost"
N " Over there!"
Me " Are you sure? What is the name of the restaurant?"
N " its Shang Palace"
Me " What is it in Chinese?"
N " Err...err....i think it is "Li-Jun"
Me " oh my god. It is far from it! How did Xiang Gong turn out to be Li Jun? is Li Jun your friend? "
We both had a good laugh over it! I must say that the standard at Shang Palace has deteriorated significantly, be it service or quality. It was quite a disappointment :(
