188蚊有乜食 – Restaurant Peony 屋崙牡丹閣

The U.S. chapter of the SFX Alumni Association have been holding annual Xmas/Chinese New Year events in the Bay area for more than ten years. This year we have a pre-Chinese-New-year luncheon at Restaurant Peony (牡丹閣) in Oakland. Thanks to the relationship of Sun Lau 劉新棠 (T77) with restaurant management, we got a spacious private room which was big for our four tables at a  cost of US$188 (plus tax and service) per table. The restaurant could have made more money by filling this room with six to eight tables for dim sum customers on this Saturday when there were people waiting outside.

How was the food? Not great but not bad. Obviously, we didn’t have any expensive dishes for US$188 but we got everything for a decent meal (社團菜): appetizer, soup, chicken, duck, fish, pork, vegetable, etc. 正所謂大魚大肉,劏雞殺鴨。 Most importantly, we got a nice place to meet with old friends and teacher for three hours.

Look forward to seeing everybody again next year.

Take a look at the following video clips to find long-lost friends:

    It’s always my pleasure to record the good times. I did enhance the pictures to bring out true flavor of the food.

    Too bad I was not able to come to this year’s luncheon, but I am glad to see all of you (plus a few more new faces) having such a good time together.

    The food looks good and more importantly we got a nice party room all by ourselves.
    I hope we can do it again next year.

    Thank you Peter and Isaac for taking these good videos and pictures.
