XY Bdae

Just celebrated my birthday on the 29 May, very happy to have a long weekend since Fri cos of the Vesak day holiday. Would like to say THANK YOU to all who remembered my bdae and celebrated with me :)

Had a BBQ on Fri near SF house, thanks to TKS for helping us book the pit so last minute, mimi, sf and cc for helping to prepare the food, peipei, huimei, edmund, maureen and chee hong for joining the mini celebration! Really enjoyed the food and catching up . Thanks for the chain and necklace guys! I love it!! Heehee

Also had a mini celebration in the office on Wednesday. Was really surprised and abit paiseh..I shall not reveal too much on the details.. thanks for the vouchers!

Went to Grand Park City Hall with CC to use our $268.00 voucher which we won in the bridal show. We thought we can try dishes that may be included inside our wedding menu and on the food tasting we can try other variations (e.g. sharks fin in pumpkin, sharks fin in crab roe, sharks fin in crab meat etc) so we can choose the best for our menu.

Arrived around 12pm and started ordering to fully maximise the voucher. Really STUFFED . Look at what we ordered:

Peking Duck - My Fav dish out of the lot! The skin was very very crispy and frangrant!! The waitresses sliced the skin infront of us and wrapped for us. All we had to do was EAT! Yummy and the duck meat was used to cook fried rice. Look all the way down!

Pork and Chives Dumpling - A must try for chives lovers

Shanghai Xiao Long Bao - Lots of soup with very soft meat!

Sharks fin with Crab Meat - We had 1 serving each and as you can see below, the sharks fin is the real deal~ Lots of big pieces of crab meat and shark fin. Can really taste the seafood . CC's fav dish! If u are attending our wedding, u will likely see this on the menu!

Deep Fried Prawn with Wasabi Mayo - Very nice, and the below is a small portion we ordered. The wasabi makes the dish not feel oily and kinda refreshing. One of our fav dishes too!

Lobster dumpling - Very fresh lobster taste, but i was too full by now. Hahaa

Soon Hock in lotus leaf - Fresh fish, a little bland for me, but very fragrant . CC likes this dish despite the fact that he doesnt really like fish. Well done chef! - Im like super stuffed by now. Mostly finished by CC

Veggie in HK Style - Nice fresh veggie, frangrant. But Im too full to eat much

Yang Chow fried rice with Peking Duck Meat - Last dish, my stomach really cannot take it man. Very nicely done. Fragrant, the duck meat really heighten the dish, would loved to finish it but I really could not do it.. Even CC also very full by now..

Overall the food was of good standard and service was exellent, the waitresses keep refilling our tea when our cup was half full and was prompt in clearing our plates and changed plates for us too. They also explained to us and recommended new dishes to us. Very enjoyable experience~~ CC says he want to come here for anniversary or bdae celebrations next time.

We called for the bill and guess what, after ordering so much food, we only hit $238. The waitress then recommended us to order some dian xin or dessert to takeaway and not waste the remaining value - Good initiative! We ordered some gui lin gao and yang zhi gan lu back.

So full, but really happy with the food so fat. Hope u guys will be happy with the food on our wedding day too !

Takeaway dessert - Haven eat yet. Still very full. But the mango smells very tempting.... hee
