They call it 'Heaven and Earth'. And its difficult to believe that they were able to get so much floorspace, and so many Chinese waitresses in a single restaurant, located opposite Spencer Plaza on Mount Road.

The decor was very unique. Especially the numerous statuettes that adorn the walls of the place. They've got the Buddha, Shiva, Ganesha everything. The Lords, i.e.. Miniatures that were works of art. The colossal Buddha in penance, cast in stone, is beautiful as the centrepiece.

One shelf had a Lord Ganesha playing the violin. Never thought of something like that, but that idol's poise absolutely delights ! I was more fascinated with their exquisite collection than the food. And despite the polite waitresses with their cute English accents, the 'slawbelly putting with grep' was just plain sweet.

The highlight of the evening - after they offer you some brand of non-alcoholic fruit vodka called 'Mr Strong' and you politely refuse, the lone Gentleman tells you (sic), 'We have this in other different colours - green, pink, orange..'. Must have had a tough time memorizing them flavours.
