Tuesday and Wednesday passed by in a blur of Chinese food and yee sang.
I had lunch with clients on Tuesday at Yu Cuisine, a new restaurant at The Shoppes at Marina Bay, which is a short walk from my office. This is opened by the same group which opened Bosses at Vivocity. The decor was refreshingly modern - not a red lantern in sight.
The 11 of us sat in a private room, which felt like an underwater cave to me because of the blue fish studded on the stone-clad walls.
We had the usual multi-course Chinese meal and, by the time we were willing to leave, we had already spent more than three hours there. The service was great and the food was quite good in general so we decided to switch our lunch reservation for Wednesday over to this restaurant, when we would be bringing another group of clients out for lunch, with a few tweaks to the menu.
For dinner on Tuesday night, Richard and I, with Ryan, met up with our mahjong friends for dinner at Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck in Paragon. We were quite pampered there - although the restaurant was full and there were only 8 of us, they put us in a huge private room and stationed an excellent service staff there for us. We lingered there for more than 2 hours.
Wednesday - lunch at Yu Cuisine again, this time with only 9 of us. They sat us in the same room, with the same service staff as the day before, and the food was, again, quite good.
Wednesday's dinner was a get-together with Richard's ex-colleagues at Long Beach King Seafood (Kallang). We ordered from the set menu but added another crab, a veggie dish and half a roast chicken.

I literally had two consecutive days of 10-course meals for lunch and dinner - and I'm having another one for lunch on Thursday! I'm not complaining but I'm thinking that, after this week, I'm going to stay off Chinese food for a while.
Ryan was with us, as always, during the two dinners. He slept in my arms for most of Tuesday's dinner, because he tired himself out at the playground just before dinner started. For Wednesday's dinner, he sat on Richard's lap and quietly got down to business with the fried rice and the soup. He wasn't interested in much else after that but was quite contented to sit in our laps for the remainder of the dinner.
