Dad's Bday Dinner...

Posted by simen

What happen when sleeping at 2am previous night and have no morning activities on the second day? Woke up at 2pm!!!! =DD It's been a habit since after graduate, or more like ever since young cause my parents dont usually wake me up early if there isnt anything special in the morning, like hiking or traveling..jealous? =p

So woke up...had brunch/lunch - leftover baked pasta and 'bak chang'. Well laze around and *skip skip skip* 6pm d @@ wokay....cooking time!!!

Today tried out mostly new recipe. Mom found a ricotta stuffed roast chicken for me to try out and I found choc mousse terine..which LOOKS nice..but end up....oh well...consider passed after so many failure in the past ><

I......forgot about the asparagus and carrot for main course @@ Well i have only 2.5hours to prepare and cook everything..it wouldnt be suprise it slipped my mind right...Overall the dinner was pretty gret. Apart from dad keep commenting about my presdentation ==' It wasnt that bad k...serving dad is way harder than satisfying the king!!!

Our neighbour came over for dessert and chit chatting session. Coffee fills the room. Lastly..here comes the chocs~ Finally get to indulged n to after we bnoght em back from langkawi last apr. Cointreau filling choc and cognac flaky choc. The later was way better~ With the strong liqueur from cognac...It's just so heavenly delicious~

Before i end this post...here's another thing to share. I've been to 3 of Jusco Member's Day sales this 2 months - 30th Apr (Qbay), 21th May (1U) and 29th May (Bm) - and lesson leaned? Go there early in the morning at 10am rather than at 6pm before the war really starts!!! Hell yeah the prices are cut up to 70% while another 10% will be added on certain items during the happy hour, about 7pm onwards. Its really a great time to shop..apart from the crowd which you have to squeez through. And it is just certainly fun to see how ppl can spend!!!

Cart loaded with cream creackers, milos, and duno what else...are we having food shortage soon? =/

Hey...those buns sold at The Baker's Cottage sure are adorable~~~
They're targeting ppl like me i guess...0.0
