Vegetarianism: Reunion Lunch at Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant, Quality Hotel

Happy Chinese New Year 2015! May 2015 be a even better year than 2014 for you and your family! 

When I was first married to him, we would have reunion lunch with his side of family and reunion dinner with my side. Why this arrangement? Because his grandmother used to cook reunion lunch for the family. Having reunion lunch instead of dinner meant that she could get rested earlier.

By the way, his grandmother was not a vegetarian. Yet, she always whip up delicious vegetarian dishes whenever we visit her. But for last few years, we had reunion lunch at restaurant when her health was on the declined. This year would be our 2nd time at Lotus Restaurant[1]. Sadly, it is the first time without her as she passed away in Jun 2014.

Food at Lotus Restaurant has always been delicious. We sometimes have steamboat buffet or International buffet at Lotus Restaurant on special occasions such as birthdays. Personally, it is 3rd best for such joyous occasions after Miao Yi Vegetarian Restaurant[2].

Of course, the best is still grandmother's cooking which we both dearly miss... We miss her so badly that discussions about her have been fond yet still heart breaking... 

Okay, let's get back to the topic. Ambience wise, it is so good that a couple of my friends had their ROM lunches held there. You can see more of their interior decoration from the reference link below. Here are pictures of the Lo Hei and herbal soup which were part of the reunion lunch package:

As they always say, eating is not just about the sense of taste. It also involve smell, sight, etc. From the crockery they used, it does produce that festive spirit which makes the whole eating experience very enjoyable.

Was it worth the price? I would say that food taste delicious, service is good, the ambience is great and it is a convenient place to be at especially for those who drive. It is a nice place to get together and if you are the early birds, you can get complimentary car park from them! If you have the budget and your family chef want to take some time off, then why not? 

But, I think nothing beats home cooked food still no matter how much more delicious the outside food is and/or no matter how less delicious the home cooked food taste. Don't you agree?
