Slight recap, for your convenience :)....
Choices, choices...
With CNY just around the corner, there are so many offers/ promotions going on at the various eateries - here's an interesting one, brought to you by Standard Chartered Malaysia - The Extravagant 8 Promotion.
There are 8 participating restaurants, all with their own signature menu designed for 8 people and priced at RM 888++ (What a very prosperous menu, right?).
:)
What's even more interesting (to me anyway) is that Stan Chart specifically worked together with the restaurants to come up with delicious shark fin free choices)... Anyway, here are the restaurants (rough overview, contact info, etc) and some relevant review lined up in no particular order, for your reference:

Great idea to compile it in one blog post J! You're a genius since it makes it easier also to compare the eight menus and pick one for the festive season.
ReplyDeleteout of the 8 restaurants, how many have you gone to so far?
ReplyDeleteto boo_licious:

Thanks. Was just trying to sum everything up in a convenient way for everyone. :)
to thule aka leo:
I've only been to 2 (Li Yen and Tai Zi Heen) for this promotion, so that's why I linked everyone else's reviews for you to refer to. :)
You are so organised lah, J. So when are you gonna hit the remaining six restaurants?
ReplyDeleteWell, you've certainly made my husband's job easier (for the linking!). Thanks babe! :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't have a StanChart card! Anyone with one planning to hit Gu Yue Tien with a spare seat at your table, please let me know!
ReplyDeletethe elegant inn and gu yue tien menus look the most tempting, personally! and heheh, i also have no stanchart card though :D

ReplyDeleteto jason:
ReplyDeleteLol. So sorry.
I am not good with coding so I always copy n paste and edit a bit.
(And this time I forgot to change the link wording!)
(Fixed already btw...)
Awesome post. Do you mind if I ask what your source is for this information?
ReplyDeleteto anonymous:
ReplyDeleteThanks!... And no, I don't mind at all.
Most of the info was from the Stand Chart website that I linked. Or from the various blogs linked. :)
I think you'll want to get a facebook icon to your site. Just marked down this site, but I must complete this by hand. Simply my suggestion.
