May be just another day for many, but a very special day for me Was thinking way before what to get as a gift. For this special occasion. How to celebrate? Where to eat?

 

No, it’s not an anniversary. No,  it’s not a new born. No it’s not a wedding.

 

It IS:

Yes, my dad’s birthday.

 

It’s not really the birthday we are celebrating. I think it’s more of the birth DAY. Celebrating my dad being here and bringing me here. At least to me. haha. OK, do you know what I’m saying?

 

What I mean is that I’m celebrating my dad. NOT his age. To me it’s like a bonus to father’s day. An exrtra celebration. I prefer father’s day coz it doesn’t have an age to it. I never like the thought of my parents growing older. So basically after their 55th birthday I stopped remembering their age.

 

I went to buy the cake and due to the haze, durians and hot season, I decided to get the Black Forest Cake from
Secret recipe. I had to wait for them to decorate the cake as it was all white. And it seems to me that they have not enough chocolate flakes. Look and see for yourself. If I’m right, Black Forest cake is not suppose to look like that. When they got the cake ready in 20 mins, they asked me how many candles. And since I stopped counting my parents’ age, I was like…oops…   -___- 

Then I started to count…er…1946…er…er…*thinking to myself, I remembered learning in math class, when you count years, you must minus the older from the current and plus one or something like that*

”WAIT” I told the lady.

*ran to the car where Damian was waiting for me*

Asked Damian to count for me and I kept saying must add one right? Must add one RIGHT? When actually I could have just count my own age and compare –___-

SWEATS. So much for counting. I still don’t remember the additional one is for what. So much for math class. –_____-

Oh, you must be wondering why I said it’s a special occasion for ME. It’s because I’m not sure if it’s the same for dad. haha! Apparently he told my bro that you can’t celebrate coz God can hear and might decide he wants to take you earlier to heaven. haha!

We had dinner at this place in Setapak with famous ‘Chi Pao Kai’ (Translate: Paper Wrap Chicken) Basically it’s chicken wrapped in paper and deep fried. It looks like that:

REally tasty! The chicken is tender and the sauce is…mmm…

It looked so good that we had to start eating before Kang arrives. Oh, actually we finished before he arrived. :p

I don’t really fancy chicken and I like it. So to those of you chicken lovers, this is the place to go for ‘Chi Pao Kai’.

 

Finally Kang arrives and we ordered food. The first dish came, I reminded sis to take picture:

This is the ‘Chu Kiok Chou’ (Translate: Pork Leg Vinegar) Yummay!

I don’t have a picture for the rest because we totally forgot about it. Busy eating –____-

 

Managed to get a picture of the last dish though. Coz it’s an extra. Kang and Bea was saying the pork ribs are nice:

And yes. It is super good as you can see below:

We were so SO full I didn’t know if we have space for cake. Oh I forgot to mention. Very reasonable pricing there too

 

 

TASTY + FULL = HAPPY PEOPLE

When we got home, Kang made his secret recipe punch. Lucky you that I got the picture of this secret recipe. Will blog about this in the next post

 

When all’s ready, time to cut the cake!

 

After some cakes…it’s DURIAN TIME! ngek ngek…so much for thinking I might not be able to eat the cake :p

Dad’s the man. I must marry some one who knows how to open durian
