97, Jalan SS15/5A,
Subang Jaya.
Time 12noon to 2pm RSVP :) c u there.
A few questions popped into mind - who is we?? Is Lai Ping a co-owner or just the dish washer? What kind of food is served? Does the invitation include my family, etc.etc. So I replied back via SMS - yes - confirmed - 3 from my family including myself would be coming.On the day, Elaine C also joined me in my car as she was also invited. We tried to avoid arriving on time (don't want to look like we were a bunch of hungry ghosts!!). Even then, everyone else managed to arrive fashionably late (like around 1pm). "Food tasting" was a buffet styled lunch.
Initially we were not too sure what kind of food RuCHi would be served. I went online and found that there was already a Ruchi Kitchen serving Indian food. But that was not the site that Lai Ping and Minz Leong had. To help us pass the time, Lai Ping served us a concoction of Taiwanese bubble tea.
Essentially it was flavored drink with gooey pea sized colored balls in them. 
We tried Peach, Sour Plum, Grape and something else I couldn't figure out.
Lai Ping has definitely been in HP/Agilent too long. 
Admittedly, I had attended very few food tasting sessions, but this was the first one where
a) we had to indicate which were the top 5 dishes we had "tasted". To do this, we just dropped a red star into the cup next to the name of the dish.
b) provide feedback on an A4 size paper. Elaine C dutifully filled up her feedback form and I declared that it would be representative of the feedback from our table :).
The day was also a good opportunity for some ex-staff get together.
Many I had not met up with for quite a while. Khun Nong (the late Soo Aun's wife) also came along with her kids. 
Poon brought them there.RuChi will start operations on Tuesday 28th July. They will open from 7am onwards, serving nasi lemak and English Breakfast.
Good Luck Minz Leong and Lai Ping. As Minz says - it would be a long journey. But every journey needs to start with a step.
