Birthday Celebration In Shing Lee Restaurant, Ipoh

Celebrated my ex-classmate's birthday few days ago in a restaurant we had not been before ever since it changed owners last year. The restaurant is called Shing Lee originated from Jelapang and recently opened another branch opposite Jaya Jusco in Ipoh Garden.  It was quite empty on a Friday evening... and since this was our first time there, we did not really know what to order....
 Birthday girl wanted to try the Cod fish... 
Half piece steamed and half deep fried...
I think it would be advisable to order those swimming in the tanks... 
We ordered some greens..
Two Flower Crabs... and the flesh is very fresh!
And a plate of Sang Mee... 
Not too bad...
I didn't have a good appetite that night...
I feel some kind of virus coming on to me.... 
But it didn't dampen the atmosphere...
The bill came to RM120 inclusive of rice and drinks..
Happy Birthday CH!
My friend since 1973...
In fact all of us are pretty Old Friends... 
hahahaha...
Somehow the group is getting smaller and smaller...
Anyway, no worries...
Good friends are hard to come by...
So... do treasure the time we have every now and then...

    I think is the Pre-Retirement-Stress syndrome, once you are officially retired it will be gone :D

    "I think it would be advisable to order those swimming in the tanks..." I hear it is best not to - they've been out of their natural habitat for dunno how long, so may not be nice. If nice and new, of course that would be best. I prefer mud crabs to these flowery ones...but they're expensive, can't afford to eat, maybe once in a long while.

      Mud crabs are nice nice.. flower crabs have their own sweetness as well.. those swimming in the tanks are normally fresher than those kept in the freezer.. :)

    The flower crab is very pretty. I have not heard of this kind before. I hope you will be alright! Drink lots of water, and have honey too. It kills bacteria. Be well, my friend.
