CNY at 1-Utama

i like 1-Utama because:
1) it's easily accessible via either NKVE or LDP;
2) it's a RM1 flat-rate parking fee &
3) being a kampung boy, having lunch at dragon -i is a big deal to me.

where i live, no restaurant has a numbered queue system, only banks & govt agency payment counters, but it does provide some semblance of civility as hungry patrons aren't a patient lot. while waiting for a table, one can actually observe the chefs prepare their trademark noodles & dumplings.


we didn't have long to wait despite the lunch crowd (& i thought most KL-lites were out-of-town for the New Year). my order of stewed beef noodles was very good & filling.

this establishment was obviously thriving, despite the steep prices & in difficult times. the boy however didn't join us as he had more pressing matters to attend to:

therein lies our dilemma - when he can play, food, sleep & school are the furthest things in his mind!!

& in line with the festivities, the acrobats...


.....and the lions.....

.....were let loose.

i wonder if this is how a typical KL-lite would spend the weeekend or public holiday?
