Birthday at Red Box

Red Box members get to sing and eat for free for 7 days (3 days before and 3 days after their birthday and on their birthday itself) when accompanied by at least 1 paying adult at full price for one session daily. One can become an ordinary member by paying MYR5 on the spot and one can go everyday for all 7 days as long as one meets the requirement of having another paying adult.

So on Saturday, one day before my friend's birthday, the two of us went to Red Box The Gardens for the earliest session and were told that the buffet brunch session was on from 11am to 2pm and if the room was still available, we could use it for another hour until 3pm and the price was MYR30++ (10% service charge and 6% govt tax) so we said ok and asked for a non-smoking room.

Since we were there to sing, we were not that particular about the buffet spread which was just acceptable.

The above food was for  two. It has been a long time since I last ate french toasts so time to eat one now, drizzled with honey and I found it quite nice. The roti jala here was not soft enough for me and those two dim sums were soaked in sauce.

"Kon choy" (dried vege) soup, fish fillet, fried popiah, steamed egg, char keoy teow, rice (hidden below the ckt), one fried wanton, and one fried processed fish cake crab stick thingy. Two drinks - hot plum juice.

This two plates of food were for sharing too. Watermelons, oranges, raw vege, tiny coffee cupcakes, charcoal cake, peanut butter swiss roll, two chocolates mini tarts.

To our surprise, we were given this. It was a nice gesture from Red Box to wish my friend happy birthday so we ate the red hard boiled eggs after removing the red shells. The quail eggs were dyed black (I wonder why) and because they were so tiny, the black dye seeped through the shells so the egg whites were black too so we did not eat those.

For a total bill of MYR34.80, both of us get to eat some ok food and sing for 4 hours (11am to 3pm) so I think it is a pretty good deal. We did not include the MYR5 membership fee because we just pay once and we have been singing for free during our birthdays for 3 years now and will continue to do so as long as this deal is available.
