That may be so.. but I would still consider fine dining to be the prim & proper places like Lafite, Frangipani, etc.. Chinese food is also fine if it's places like Chyna, Shang Palace, etc.. but decor and ambience must be of a minimum standard la. I would say if the food/ambience can't match a bottle of Lafite-Rothschild, Margaux, or d'Yquem, then it's not fine dining.

Places like kopitiams and all that.. aren't fine dining.. but maybe tasty dining instead

Fine dining is not always tasty, and tasty dining is not always fine.

better sos to read about fine dining.

i beg to differ, i think to Asian - anything more expensive than their usual is FINE DINING.

and who's to say our non-Asian counterpart does not think fine dining as quality food?

see, that's the thing. the article you posted doesn't even support what you're saying.
the way you put it, is like Asian FD has quality food while non-Asian is on atmosphere............ and that's not what the article said.

all the article said was.
feel free to point out any error on my end, because i don't see the article supporting your point.

from what i see, what i see it still says fine dining in both places are still a matter about atmosphere and quality food, just that the non-Asian people (in the article, Europeans) pay more attention to the details in atmosphere.

that is certainly not like what your simplified equation is saying.

Of course, you can fork over major dough for your bread in many other countries as well. In China, people pay thousands of dollars for shark fin, abalone and bear paw. And at the three-Michelin-starred Gordon Ramsay in London, Zagat surveyors estimated the cost of dinner and an alcoholic beverage for one, plus tip, at close to $200. But unlike in Asia, European restaurants place more emphasis on the trappings of fine dining, and Gordon Ramsay is no exception. Bouquets of fresh flowers adorn the 13-table dining room, and the menu includes rarefied dishes like pigeon and Cornish lamb. Interested? Pick up your planner: Reservations must be made at least two months in advance.

Loon Sing not very good le. The place only looks very grand, like castle. Inside look like highclass restaurant. The food prepared like fini dining, got decoration and all. But the taste....ok ok la. It is nice but nothing spectacular. Not worth the money. Go there only if want to eat expensive stuff that;s not sold elsewhere. Like shark fin, lobster, big big fish, exotic animal etc etc.

loon sing only certain dishes are really good, the rest ok-ok only.

i like the tungpo yuk (black). also they got one dish i forgot the name, it's like a fist-sized prawn ball with strands of ... uh ... edible decoration ... haha don't know how to describe.

but i've never tried their super exp stuff. like the rm250/pax fat *** cheong, walau ... that is half my monthly food budget ...

got chinese cruisine fine dining restaurant ma?

Cafe cafe is at the row of shop next to Dewan Pustaka in KL. Food & enviroment nice but expensive

Dahling, it's next to Dewan Pustaka KL, Jalan Maharajalela. It's like a slice of Paris in KL You can opt for the set (soup, main course, 2 types of dessert) from RM79 onwards to RM120 over. There's also a small selection of pasta approx RM28 each dish. Their famous dish is the lamb. Drinks are on the steep side and they're not even alcoholic drinks mind you.

This is the place to go to propose someone, lol coz it's very romantic. Just google and check out the pictures and review but of course nothing beats like being there.

Btw they're also the same owners of The Banquet in Bangsar Village. Also highly recommended - they serve chinese and western, the baked fish is to die for! And the avocado juice, yum yum
