When good lunch goes bad and then gets better

So some times you really want Yum Cha for lunch.

You do the normal prep work like not eating breakfast. Thinking of all the dishes you will have. Taste those sweet pork buns in your mind and experience the smells.

So I have this favorite Yum Cha that's local to me in sunnybank. It burnt down about 2 years ago, so for sure it would of been rebuilt by now. ( OK so we've been busy and yes you don't get out to eat on a Sunday with a small child in hand)

Expecting to be greeted but the most awe inspiring Phoenix recovery (This place was opulent before so it GOTTA be better now) there in front of us ... The once opulent glass doors of the restaurant have become the entrance to some kind of kookie Asian photo booth shop.

AHHHHgggggggghhh

I was a little perplexed by this.

First how the hell do you make money in a suburban shopping center when your only commodity being a memento of yourself and a possible friend holding your fingers in a peace sign with a greenscreen background. (And we're not talking one booth here when I looked in there was a freaking forest of booths discreetly hidden by little curtains)

And

Second in the game of rock paper scissors how does "Photo Booth Shop" beat "1000 seat YumCha Restaurant" I just fail to see the economics that my shrine I used for so many Sunday's to recover from son type of liver abuse could no longer sustain itself after a "little fire"

So faced with the prospect of going hungry we hi tailed back to the car to make it over to the "other" inferior YumCha squeezed into the local Shopping Mall. It was my memory this one should be avoided at any cost, (even if it was the last place on earth to eat) Judging by the line that snaked out of the restaurant and down into the mall my memory served me correct.

We had a small moment of madness where we did think about the 1hr wait however "Little M" helped refocus our clouded minds by yelling "FOOD NOW!"

So we then swiftly moved back to the car and returned to market square.

Just on the corner was the a Malaysian restaurant and this "might" just be the answer to my prayers. Quickly I readjusted my minds eye menu list to include Lamb Rotti COULD IT BE TRUE !!!!!!!!!
(I've missed Lamb Rotti since my favorite lunch time restaurant Singapore Lai had closed)

We walked to the doors were guided (Told to go) to the worst table in the restaurant (As always the tradition in any good asian food establishment). I was waiting with anticipation to be TOLD what were going to eat. Instead we got the equally satisfying "WHAT YOU WANT !!!!!!" yelled at us in the time is money kind of way. PERFECT this could not be any better. I love the service when its like this, I feel like I am on holidays. The next perfect moment happened when there in front of me Number #5 on menu was Lamb Rotti .......... OMG it was a sign from the gods ..... could it be as good?

YES ....... (well no .. but as it is the ONLY lamb rotti I can find It's the Best)
