Cheeky and I revisited Chatterbox at Meritus Mandarin to satisfy his craving for the chicken rice. [To The Previous Visit] Away from the ground floor and relocated high up at the 38th Floor where Top of the M used to be. There was this deja-vu when we took the lift up the 38th floor, when I was brought there during my birthday last year. Sadly, all the deja-vu kinda took a stop when the lift's door open.


We were brought before glass panels where the warmth of the evening shone in glaringly. It was kinda disappointing to see that even Observatory Lounge is no longer there but replaced by Chatterbox too - the chilling area. The dinner area was up the red-carpeted spiral stairs which has lost its magical effects too. It could have been due to the time of the day. Evening being evening brings a different kind of ambience. But still, it was nice 'watching the sunset', which can be considered as Cheeky's first sunset since his return.. Oh, and the thing is...it's not even revolving anymore...


And so, it just made me realised sometimes it's not so much of the location. But it's the location matched with the interior decoration of a place, plus the range and type of patrons it has and the ambience that the restaurant provides via music and probably kind of services provided.
