Fine Dining @ Le Mei, Meridien Putrajaya

Sometime last year (17 Dec) we had team lunch to finish off our team fund at some fancy Chinese restaurant.
The place is so 'atas' till no customer in sight...except us...
The entrance with huge red door....I think they have these red lanterns decoration throughout the year
We booked a private room with 2 tables...each table accommodates 7 diners
back then the was no MCO/CMCO in Putrajaya area, hence there is no limit of the number of diners per table.
We had set lunch each....and it is not cheap....somewhere RM138++ per person.
hotel standard price konon...
nice ambience, other than that nothing to shout about
well, i believe the price is inclusive of printing the menu on the cardboard for each diner...which is not necessary...but that was part of the table settings.
the menu....
here are the food pics:
Seafood soup with bamboo pith and dried scallops
Assorted dim sum
Cantonese stir-fried green chives and dried shrimp with extraordinary sauce
nothing extraordinary about this except that the portion is super small on an average size plate.
Fried organic brown rice 
the portion is equivalent to a small bowl of rice....
as for dessert....we had Mango puree with vanilla ice-cream, pomelo and sago
i would prefer if they pair it with mango ice-cream coz the vanilla ice-cream is too strong and overpowered the mango puree taste.
so, there goes our 5 course meal ala 'fine dining' style
Throughout our dining, it was all quiet coz the restaurant was empty, such a contrast to the next door restaurant (which serves lunch buffet)

For this price, I would rather go for italian or mediterranean food. Who chose this restaurant?

Lucky no other customers except your group so that risk is not so high.

Really "atas" restaurant. The food looks good.

The ambience and presentation is really nice. Lovely to be pampered once in a while. But the food really not so much.

This hotel is still surviving well. Their buffet food is always nice. I have yet to eat their dim sum.

Both the decor and food presentation so atas. But the food really small portion. Fine dining is like that.
