Saturday was my husband's birthday.  Wow, it still feels weird to say the H word!

I took him out to dinner at Dynasty Restaurant.  Dynasty Restaurant opened for business in Melbourne in Dec 2010. They claim to be "the one and only luxurious fine dining Chinese restaurant" with spectacular decor in Australia.

The interiro is covered with marble and lighted up with crystal chandeliers, setting off a warm golden ambiance.  Staff are immaculately presented in a fusion of cultural and modern suit-style outfits.

The only reason we could afford to eat there was becuase I bought a Scoopon (au$79 for an 8 course meal including dessert + two glasses of wine each).

The below photo's are from their website because we did not take photo's on the night.  We were too awestruck!  In most cases the pictures you see on a company website are more glamorous than the actua thing - in this instance, the photo's accurately capture the restaurant's oppulance.

 And then on Sunday we went to a bbq at Leny and Tze Loong's (Geelong) place in Yallambi.  There we met their friends who were all very lovely.  Genks was allowed to come so she had a great time sniffing around in a new environment.  She was a good girl mostly.  Except when she saw Billy the kitten and tried to play with him which Geelong wasn't too sure about.
