New Year's Eve Dinner

Posting a little late....but Doug and I went to Fat's on New Year's Eve. We had a fantastic dinner that included:

A Dim Sum Basket - crab and cream cheese won tons, pork shu mei, and chicken pot stickers

Fat's Special Fried Rice - fried rice with chicken

Honey Walnut Prawns - in a light sauce with caramelized walnuts

Mango Ginger Chicken - fresh mango and pickled mango

and for desert Doug had Creme Brulee and I had Cheesecake.

We didn't really know where we were going for dinner, we just got in the car and found somewhere. I certainly wasn't thinking that most places would probably be reservation only. While we were driving I saw Fat's and Doug mentioned he hadn't been there, so that's where we headed. We got to Fat's and at the counter I said, "A table for 2 please." She said, "We can fit you right in," gave a couple menus to the gal standing next to her, told her a table number and said, "perfect timing," and we were seated.

We were seated next to a large party; there must have been close to 30 people. It wasn't bad though - the women squealed occasionally when another woman would show up. They were all dressed up for a night out.

The wait staff joked a couple times that we should just pull our table closer to theirs and have a free dinner. Toward the end of our dinner I asked if it was a reservation only night and it was. I told Doug that I felt like a high roller - we walked in and said, "A table for 2" and were seated like we were important and belonged there :). I'm easily amused.

I didn't get a picture while we were there, but this is what it looks like. They had white lights on the palm trees and the center was open for dancing and music as New Year's got closer.

The food was great, the staff was great and we had enough food for dinner the next night too. I'm pretty sure that any other person would have said, "Well, it's reservation only." And hopefully the person would have said, "Let me see if we can find room or if we've had a cancellation." NOPE. No mention. They didn't seem to mind at all, just sat us at our table and we had a great dinner.
