as promised, here's an entry on my birthday! and as usual it was a calorie overloaded one. my birthday came early this year when i was surprised with a huge fruit tart from fruit paradise at my doorstep on the night before i turned 23. aww so sweet!
so colourful isn't it? i don't usually eat strawberries, berries and cream, but i ate everything on that tart. the cream was unlike any other on birthday cakes and i particularly love the crust of the tart. simply heavenly!
and apparently i'm still being seen as a kid when i received this along with the tart:
on the morning of my birthday, i got my favourite choco exotic from four leaves from the pharmacy clique! thanks to jielin who bought the cake :) love the blend of the different layers of chocolate in the mouth :D it's a must-eat every year!
dinner was a treat from the family at Manhattan Fish Market at Changi City Point. this is the first time my family celebrated birthdays out. usually we just buy a cake home for the four of us to eat. we ordered from the triple treats because each meal was only going for $12.95 instead of the usual price, and it comes with iced lemon tea and soup, either salmon chowder (additional $3) or cream of mushroom.
the stingy family chose cream of mushroom! :P i'd have mushrooms any time than salmon anyway. and this is the nicest one i've tasted so far. they were generous with their ingredients (more mushrooms equals a happier me) and the soup's thick, unlike the rather dilute ones at other restaurants.
mum and brother had Small Grill.
A radiant mix of grilled tiger prawns, calamari and dory fillet, with a side of chips, Garlic Herb rice and veggies.
and dad picked Scallops Mussels Skewers (SMS).
A trio of sea-filled wonder! Enjoy fish skewers in Chipotle sauce, Garlic Herb mussels and grilled scallops served with the Garlic Herb rice, chips and veggies.
and the birthday girl's pick, Scallops Fish Chicken (SFC).
Enjoy a serving of freshly grilled chicken, crispy fish fingers and fried scallops served with a helping of our Garlic Herb rice, chips and veggies.
we were all really full after the main course but the dessert looked so tempting. so we ordered Sizzling Brownie with Ice-Cream for the four of us to share! :D can't describe how much i like the taste and feeling of the mix of cold ice-cream and warm brownie slide down the throat!
The harmony of elements, crispy & warm sizzling brownie, topped with smooth vanilla ice-cream in sweet caramel sauce and nuts.
and you would think the calorie intake for the day ends here. NO! met up with the secondary school bunch at Bark Cafe, so how can i miss my favourite (after my grandma's) wings! on top of that we had potato wedges as well and two jugs of juices. moreover, it's already close to midnight, sinful sinful!
as usual, we stayed up till a few hours past midnight, but mostly because it was pouring for quite a while. even the kitchen was closed and the waitresses had changed out of their uniforms. guess what, yanxuan and i were born on the same day! i was always glad that in secondary school, i didn't have to go through the awkward moment when every one sang "happy birthday" for you alone :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER!
was trying to find a decent picture of us and then i remembered this funny picture. oh and if you are wondering, she's the older one! :P
and i can't stress on how lucky we are to have a chef in the group! aloysius baked us delicious brownies for our birthday! *screams* i ate it the same way, with ice cream on top of my heated-up brownie :)
last but definitely not the least, THANK YOU EVERYONE, who made my birthday an enjoyable one; all the planning and coordinating and surprises! and of course, not forgetting those who wished me as well!!
