Prima Tower Revolving Restaurant

It has been at least 10 years since I last been to this restaurant. Building still looks the same as last time. There are 2 lifts at the main lobby. The second lift is much smaller, fit about 4 persons just nice. There is only 2 floors on the lift buttons: 1 and 9. After reaching the 9th floor, still have to go up by the escalator, follow by a couple of rounds of stairs. One joked that we are revolving while walking the stairs.

In the restaurant, the actual revolving is very slow actually but not very smooth as there is jerking from time to time. I think for the whole our table has revolved 1 1/2 round, 'cos I saw the ship at the harbourfront twice. Not people in the restaurant too. I think only about ten tables occupied.

The first dish is Shredded Scallop With Fish & Egg White. The waiter stirred in black vinger before serving it in individual potion. Taste normal. Had better at other restaurants before.
Second is Shark’s Fin Soup With Crab Meat. Funny thing is that it was served with spring onion pancake.
Third is Peking Duck. One complain is that it is not served with small cucumber, but normal ones.
Next we have Deep-fried Garoupa slices. Don't really like the sauce that served with it.
Followed by Fried King Prawns In Minced Garlic Sauce. Very big pieces of prawns.
Then we have Braised Sliced Abalone With Broccoli. Normal.
Next is Steamed Shanghai Dumplings. Disappointed 'cos when the waiter served, most of dumplings break open. No soup left.
As for the meat left over from the duck, it is used to cook fried rice. You could see the fried rice is all covered with chopped meat.
Lastly we have Toffee Banana, which is dipped quickly in iced water in front of us. It is the best dish of all. Outside is crispy and inside is soft with the banana.

One thing don't like is that they served quickly but they also clear very fast. Wine is not too expansive here. The red wine we have is $56 a bottle I think. Especially I remember a bottle cost about $88 at Melt.
