Chinese Opera, Italian Style




Picture this:

A long table of 7 adults and 8 kids. Delicious italian food on the table. Spaghetti, pizza, rosemary chicken, chips, drinks...you name it, we had it. And chinese opera going on in the foreground. That was our dinner setting last night!

After a hard game of badminton and other sports, we headed to Pizza De Donato at Ghim Moh for the yummy italian fare. What we didn't expect, was a prayer session going on next to the restaurant and chinese opera playing at the same time.

The children had never seen a chinese opera show before (sadly, our younger generation is out of touch with its roots). They were intrigued by all the gongs, the high-pitched singing, the painted faces and the opera dancing and movements that came along with it. They were running around, half-watching the opera, half-eating their dinners.

This must be the most unique dining experience we have ever had.
