How adorable it was to receive a pink strawberry flavored cake with two ultra-man from my kids, nieces and nephews on the occasion of my 42nd birthday last night.
Earlier in the evening, we had a small family dinner at the New Tanjong Seafood, together with my mother-in-law who shares the same birthday with me. She is 66 and received a cheese cake from us.
The dinner menu was a collective agreement by all members of the family and here was their choice. John ordered fried clam with lemon grass and oyster sauce.
Charles ordered fried changkok manis with egg.
Cheryl ordered her favorite hot plate Japanese tofu.
I ordered the ambal cooked with curry.
And, Chak-Lut ordered the fish head curry together with bean curd with salted vegetable soup.
And here are some of the photos taken during the simple birthday dinner.
I would like to thanks the following people who have sent me birthday messages and sms. It was so thoughtful and may God bless you and your family, too.
