Beautiful day…

It certainly was a beautiful day – the 2nd of December…

My 58th birthday celebration started with mee sua, the traditional Foochow longevity noodles, in the morning, served with chicken soup cooked with ginger and traditional Foochow red wine…and my missus ordered a cake from Marcus…

…who runs a home-based business and makes the most delightful (and cheap too) cakes in town.

This was the very rich and fragrant butter cake coated with cheese…

Then, there was the dinner that evening with family and friends. We had a second round of mee sua…

…followed by this superb 5-treasure dish…

The mussels were heavenly and they were certainly very generous with the prawns in the salad/cocktail…

In the middle, they had a scooped-out pumpkin filled with fish maw cooked with sweet peas and young sweet corn – really nice!

I could not understand the lengthy explanation the lady gave me on how they would prepare this fried chicken dish…

…but it was very good too.

The cheese prawns were absolutely great…

– very fresh and very well done.

But I wanted to go back to this place as ever since the first time I dined at that restaurant, I had been craving for their very yummy braised pork…

…served with mantao (steamed buns). My daughter who normally is not really a pork person, loved it a great deal and actually thought it was the best dish all night. Then there was also their fish dish…

We had a plate of fried asparagus as well, which everyone loved a lot and they cleaned up the whole lot before I had a chance to take a photograph of it. Then, there was the glutinous rice plus yam paste dessert and also the fresh cut fruits to end the most wonderful birthday dinner.

The bill came up to RM319 for the food alone (for 12 persons) but the servings were so huge that we had to tapao most of the leftovers home.

Now, I wonder what I shall have on my 59th… Hehehehehe!!!!
