Gulf Royal Chinese Restaurant Dhahran

I've been craving for Chinese food again.  Since we are in Al Rashid Mall in Dhahran, I tried to search the mall directory if there is a Chinese restaurant near by.  Fortunately, there is one inside the mall, so we proceed there immediately. Its name is Gulf Royal Chinese Restaurant, located on the 2nd level of the mall.

I was impressed when we entered the restaurant.  It seems like you're inside a theater or a casino.  Although the lights are more dimmer than usual, the ambiance is quite better than most Chinese restaurants I've been to.  The service crew are courteous and assisted us to our table so we can start ordering food.

As I looked into their menu, I noticed that this restaurant is more of an Asian-fusion restaurant.  They also serve Japanese, Indian, and Thai food. Here is their menu:

It took us quite a while to make our order due to their extensive menu. Then finally, we placed our order.
