Dinner at Man Fu Yuan

I just had a birthday dinner for my father at Man Fu Yuan. Man Fu Yuan is a Chinese restaurant at the Inter-Continental Hotel. Well, it was a nice place and the food was great. But it was kinda strange, this was Chinese fine dining. It was weird. I mean Chinese dining means chopsticks and spoons right? But they also gave us a fork and a knife?! Am I suppose to use it or not? Or is it meant for the ang mohs? Funny eh? And then the plates and bowls that they used were not the typical Chinese kind, it was pure white porcelain with, erm, funny shapes... And instead of having one big dish in the middle of the table, it was five small dishes for each person. Well, it was hygienic but weird for a Chinese dinner. I prefer one big dish where everyone could share and you could have more of what you like and less of what you dun like. For this, you were given a fixed portion regardless of whether you like it or not... Weird... Anyway, the shark's fin was nice. It was real fin, not jelly.
