First day of the new year. Roaming around and ended up in Marina Square looking for dinner. Decided to try this Lao Huo Tang Restaurant. This is one of the those food center stalls kind that had "graduated" into "restaurant". I guess so they can make more money.
新一年第一天。在滨海广场逛逛找晚餐。决定尝试这个老汤堂餐厅。这是从熟食中心摊位“毕业”进入“餐厅”地位之一。我想也是为了可以赚多点的钱吧。

🎶Meanwhile, some music for you to enjoy as you read. This piece is part of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, particular the last of the 4 violin concertos, called Winter.
🎶让大家继续读的时候,欣赏一点音乐。这件作品是维瓦尔第的“四季”的一部分 - 4小提琴协奏曲中的第4首,名为“冬天”。

Just before I entered, I saw promotion for "free soup" but you have to order a few soup to get the "free". I find their red lantern kind of lighting a bit too much.
进去之前,我看到了促销“免费汤”,但你必须点几个汤才能获得“免费”。我觉得他们的红灯笼装饰有点太过了。

Went in and sat down and snap a picture to my left where you can see the sign of "Pan Pacific Hotel" on the outside.
进去了坐下来拍了一张左边的照片,往外看你可以看到外面的“泛太平洋酒店”的标志。

Their bowl of lotus root soup was enough for one but will be bit little if you share with another person. Always happy to have a soup in a meal. Good thing is they have one refill for the soup which we only knew after we place our order.
一碗莲藕汤对一个人来说是足够了,但如果你和别人分就有点少。一餐有碗汤真好。好在他们可以让你加一次汤。那是点菜后才知道。

Otherwise, I'll probably order something else but I have no complain for the taste of this spinach with salted egg and century egg but I think it's a bit expensive.
早知道,我可能点别的而不是这。其实也不是这苋菜三色蛋不好吃而只觉得这有点贵。

The sliced fish ginger is cheaper but the fish slices were quite limited. More onions and spring onions.
姜葱鱼片较便宜,但鱼片不是很多。更多的洋葱和葱。

The New Year Dinner for two ended up more than $50.
两人的新年晚餐花了多过$50。

As I left, I took another picture of the entrance from another angle. See the pots of soup there?
离开时,从另一个角度拍摄了一张入口照片。看到那里的汤锅吗?

Bit expensive but that’s the price of eating in a mall. I say I’ll rather eat from their stall in the food court near my home when I need a soup. :-)
这餐有点贵,但商场吃饭一餐是这样的啦。要汤时,我宁愿在我家附近食阁吃。 :-)
