Yesterday I was invited to a school play performed by one of the private schools in town. The kids were adorable and, as always, there was a lavish dinner at a fancy restaurant planned for after.
Chinese restaurants often have large rooms like this to reserve for large parties. I thing there were about twenty people seated around the table.The food kept coming as did the beer.
Eva, the owner of the school, also brought along a huge amount of liquor. We went to KTV (Chinese karaoke) afterwards and drank ourselves silly. A good time was had by all.
These sorts of dinners usually follow any big event or for someone's birthday (I attended one of those last week). The restaurants are very interesting. Most table service restaurants have these rooms off to the side, but some, like this one, are composed entirely of them. There is no 'main floor' where the majority of people come in to eat. There are now tables for just two people. If you're not dining with a party of at least a half dozen, there's no place for you here.
That table could not be any bigger! Great pic!
