 v v crowded, but alot of interesting stalls to visit!
 i've arranged a surprise celebration for baby w our zai zai n family

 zai zai tried to squeeze his way onto baby's lap
 zai zai is so cute!
 zai zai tried to charge towards the cake while baby stopped him. he cried out loud for his "kaima" for an extra pc of cake later when he finished his share, oni greeted by cold stares from his real mother.....ah well, "kaima" oso lan lan.
 we kept ourselves busy over the weekend for some fantastic noodles from this shop near the reservoir. authentic hk cuisine. love love love the food here.

we had a great dinner! thanks again bff!

 took time off for lunch b4 i go on my mission impossible
 the most expensive bowl of hay mee. 
 lobster roll.
 the famous beehoon
gimmicky condiments. if u ask me, i think dat the food is over rated. its decent, but nt worth the hype, traveling time n money. no more nxt time.
 surprise 4. brought baby to her fav lunch plc for quick lunch





 the food was good, as we always liked it. a good place for lunch.
 i've booked a svs apartment to prepare for baby's birthday dinner. this was the welcome platter.

 the tiny kitchen for me to work in later

 yes, i will b the chef for a day. this was the menu i've planned for baby.
 before we made our way to the swimming pool, i've planned an activity to kick start the celebration

 baby n i was supposed to make chocolate truffles together. this will b our dessert after dinner.
 一边做一边吃是怎样?
 after a swim, the chef went to work. serving the 1st dish, the appetizer.
 capellini infused in sakura ebi essence and truffle oil with crispy sakura ebi and tobiko (jap + french)
 chef pour champagne

 entree 1 - fish tacos w spicy salsa (mexican). yes, i made everything, the salsa, the roasted peppers n the fish.
 cooking w an expensive ingredient
 wagyu sirloin, marbling grade 4

 cook w care

 entree 2 - wagyu steak prepared with untoasted white sesame oil, served with yuzu pepper and fried garlic (jap)
 no, i am not part of the meal
 thai tea tiramisu. i made this for baby cos she cant take alcoholic stuff.

 baby is quite bothered by the fact dat the tiramisu wasnt really shaped well......tiramisu is nt supposed to hav shape de leh.....



a very satisfied customer.
 woke up early to prepare breakfast. somen w kombu broth, tofu, shimeji mushroom n tai fish.
 made 2 糖心蛋as well
 my version of 长寿面加蛋
 inspired by sinseh from osaka. baby mentioned dat she love the somen prepared by sinseh, so i tried to replicate. u hav to ask baby whether this tasted good or nt. i will say i am a good chef if u ask me. muahahahahaha.不要脸。

 yolk was oozy n creamy. success! 
n we packed up the choco truffles we've made the previous day b4 we leave for JC's concert (courtesy of bffs) 

i hope baby had enjoyed wat i've planned for her. :)
happy birthday, my love.
