Granny's 70+(?) birthday..$BlogItemTitle$>

My bad.. I don't know how old my granny is this year.. In any case, it has been a long-living tradition that all of my family members would get together in a restaurant and have a sumptuous 10-course dinner, followed by a cake-cutting session. And ah ma will give all her grandchildren $100 ang pow each! *woot!*
This year, ah ma's birthday "bash" was held at a Chinese restaurant called "Taste Paradise", located along Mosque Street. The food there is superb! I think each table costs $800++ and we had 5 tables! (: This year's birthday dinner was strangely on a Friday evening. So right after work, I lugged my laptop and rushed down to Chinatown.
And since a few years ago, it has been a habit that some cousins will actually chip in and get granny a decent birthday present. Over the past few years, we have given her Biotherm skin care products, fragrances and lipsticks, Goldheart necklace, clothes, Fendi pouch. And this year, we got her Coach bag and coin purse!!

Hope granny liked it! (: *hugs*
Ok, food galore!
Mandatory shou taos..
Fruit/ unagi salad
Roasted pork
Foie gras, scallop and bacon with cheese..
Double-boiled sharksfin
Prawn in wasabi mayo
After this, I got distracted and kept leaving the restaurant to make phone calls.. Hence the lack of food pictures from now on..

Then comes the "sheng ri kuai le" song!!
