Pre-birthday Dinner 2 :D

I have been meaning to write about my pre-birthday dinner 2 a few days ago.. :D

But... There's this annoying drilling upstairs every single day from 9-5... It's so irritating, it feels like it's drilling right into my skull. It practically drilled all my creativity away!

Now.. :D Let me show you the pictures of our buffet meal which would definitely makes you envy of me.


bread! :D
... which goes along very well with their signature butter! :D




I love being served with genuine silver wares. So very classy :D

my cup of Jasmine tea. My very favorite. :)

When I see sashimi, I go crazy :D

HUGE prawns!!!! We put the chopstick there for reference. Can you imagine the joy we felt when we saw these babies? :D

The brain of the prawn is golden yellow :D The most yummy part! :D

Another round of sea creatures before moving on the the mammals :D

Now to the 4 legged creatures... :D I can never pass up any prime ribs! :D Even though it's not a 3 inches cut thick :D the roasted prime ribs were so good. :D

Too bad I only had 1 slice. :D I needed to save some space for the rest of the goodies I haven't tried yet. :D

I also had a rack of lamb. It was the best lamb I have ever had. :D It still has that lamby kindy smell and taste. I don't fancy mint jelly much coz I think it tastes like toothpaste. :D You don't eat toothpaste after brushing anyways! :D But you can see I had a scoop of mint jelly nonetheless just to try. My feeling towards mint jelly didn't change. :D


And then, I had a bowl of seafood chowder! :D I love chowder. Although this soup wasn't as good good as the clam chowder I had in Monterey, it's nonetheless very enjoyable. :D

Then I sampled some carrots with thyme, a piece of cod in creamy white sauce, and CHinese cabbages with dried scallops and some squid ring. :D

I highly recommend the carrots!! Thyme and Carrot are made for each other. :D

OUCH! It's dessert time! :D It's my birthday party! :D so I am allowed to indulge! :D

Thank god these are all in miniature bite size! :D

Old Lau and I sat at the restaurant until 9:30pm :D I had such a good time, I couldn't wait for my next birthday. :D

Thank you once again, old Lau.. :D
