I attended the best seafood banquet yesterday, my friend who sat beside me said she has never seen me eat so much in her life, I did the crab dance sideways when the combo lobster and crab ginger came. To top it all off, since this was a birthday celebration of a person I know who was turning 60, he also received black label johnnny walker. cognac, fine wine. He was so generous to share his birthday gifts with people, this restaurant was so busy as we took up 5 tables. That there were 40 people standing in the entrance jammed waiting to be seated. What was incredible was I am sorry I can not tell you where this restaurant is, because I will start visiting this restaurant on a regular basis. This was a great find. To top it all off, there was cell phone silence. Which means there was not even 1 cell phone that rang at all during the 4 hour dinner. That was music to my ears. I am a privacy nut, if you start telling your friends and they start telling their friends about this than when you go to eat there, there won't be any tables left for yourself. I know this may sound selfish.

I have attended many banquets martial art banquets in fact I attended Master Liang's banquet, I paid $85 dollars for 2 tickets, at first I was complaining because they only food you got was a chicken breast. Later when Master Liang donated $10,000 to the hurricane victims from his home town Sichen, I didn't feel so bad because hopefully some of the money I paid towards 2 tickets went towards that donation and also it was great to see my best friend perform.

Sometimes I get really annoyed when I go to my martial art class and this ignoramus person who takes cell phone calls while we are practicing is so &*#)($*#) annoying, I was very grateful that this person who lacked courtesy turned off his cell phone during my teachers birthday celebration. the bottom line is I don't remember the last time I ate a 13 or 14 course meal. I treated my friend Vicki, my friend White Pearl, myself to this dinner. It was only $35 a ticket. I was so happy with the jovial atmosphere, my friend white pearl said she was so nourished, that it was the best banquet she ever attended since 2003. I was so happy that I was able to give my friend Vicki a great gift of dinner and CDs.

If you recently had an incredible eating experience whether it was at a banquet, home or where ever, log into my Drupal site here and tell us about it, especially if no one let their cell phone ring and there were no interruptions of any kind. The days of fine engaging conversations is becoming rare. A live face to face conversation without the other person picking up the cell phone. I thank DIvine mother, God, for this incredible feast, amazing community and great friends, and the amazing courtesy that every one show and the amazing respect that everyone showed my martial art instructor for turning off their cell phone during this delicate, most delicious celebration.

I love you all!
