On Friday, May 15 2009, we went for Douglas Lim's Stand up comedy dinner and show at the Royal Lake Club. Me and my escort outside the Banquet Hall. Dress code: Lounge Suit for men, smart casual semi formal for ladies. I am dressed in Elle top and pants, with my trusty Carlo Rino bag and Charles Keith platform wedges from Vivo City, Singapore.
Douglas Lim and his special brand of "china man" humour. He is not so well known outside of Malaysia and he was last seen in a local sit-com: Kopitiam.
He touched on a lot of Malaysian politics, and poked fun at the local polticians' goofs and gaffs.
He also made spoofs of the three races...all in all quite harmless good fun!
I caught a shot of him running towards the podium after his introduction.
Before the show started, I headed for the Ladies and saw him standing at the offing, waiting for his cue and excitedly asked for a pix with him! His manager (a stylish lady took it for us)
dessert: Baked Philadelphia cheesecake
Ken's main course: pan seared sirloin beef with asparagus pink pepper and corn sauce
my mains: grilled red snapper with olive oil and Balsemic vinegar
the menu
we enjoyed our dinner...not as lavish as the Expat's Wine dinner though
RM80 for member, RM100 for Ken (he is considered non-member) expensive or not?
blur! Douglas Lim menu without flash

from my son:
On Friday night went for dinner and stand up comedy by Douglas Lim, one of the cast of Kopitiam from way back at Lake Club. Events at the club would always mean a chance to rub shoulders with Datuks and foreigners which is fun. Everybody is always very warm and friendly. I will admit that it was not as funny as i expected it to be but funny enough. He made a lot of jokes on race, government servants, Singaporeans, the situation in Perak, Chua Soi Lek, Amber Chia and Najib.
The final and presumably the punchline of the night was a joke about how he wished he could be Najib not because he had all that power, but because he could drive his car on Jalan Tun Razak at 20km/h while going left, right, left and right again until somebody would drive up next to his car, unwind the window, and scream, "Your father's road ah?".
