Happy Birthday, SS and SY

Today is my twin elder sisters’ birthday. We decided to visit Bottle Tree Restaurant for dinner as my dad wanted an alfresco dinning, so as to appreciate the mid autumn festival’s moon light at the same time.

My eldest sister and I waited for my 2nd sister to end her piano lesson, my dad to bathe, my mum to get back from work and also to pick up my wife on the way. Finally, the whole family arrived at the restaurant at 8.15pm. We were very hungry by then. Quickly, we took the menu and ordered my sisters’ favorite dish, Black Pepper Crab. Then we ordered Chili Crab, Special Sauce Pork, Clay Pot Tofu, Mushroom with Vegetables, and Noodles. I thought of ordering Roast Chicken since my elder sister likes that also, but she decided against it. She was afraid that we might not be able to finish the food, just like the previous visit.

The food arrived very quickly to our delight. We plunged in to the dishes and gobbled up the food. Our pace was fast at first. Towards the end, we were slow like tortoises. Finally, we managed to finish the dishes except for the noodles. We packed the noodles in the end. Even my dad did not feel like ordering plain white rice, his “must have” dish for every meal. We were stuffed. (Luckily, we did not order the roast chicken.)

When we returned to my parents’ place, we sang the birthday song and my sisters cut the birthday cake. It was a strawberry cake from Bakerzinn. It was very good and I had two slices despite being very full.

After the celebration, about 11.40pm, my 2nd sister sent my wife and I home. And I had tummy pain. All thanks to my greediness. (But it's worth it because it is a special occasion!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SS AND SY!!!
