Still Have Them

Yup, would you believe it, it's April and we still have the Seung Wan Yuen which was made during Chinese New Year.

Well.. this is the last of them. Of course, we can easily make them at home. So much work, but I don't mind making them as Ah Kong, daddy and Kakak enjoys them. 
 

Goodbye, Ocean Green

There was news all over the internet that our favourite seafood restaurant, Ocean Green was closing at the end of the month. Ah Ma tried to book for last weekend, but could not get a booking as everyone was also with the same idea of having a last hurrah at their favourite restaurant. We managed to get a table for the following Saturday.

So today, we headed to the restaurant. Daddy got the last car park slot in the compound of the restaurant.. well more like right at the entrance into the service road leading to the restaurant. The carpark was full, and most tables seemed to be booked (not fully occupied), but at the end of our dinner the tables were not fully occupied. I wonder if people made reservations, but never turned up, or gave up trying to dine here as they could not get a place to park (although, there's ample parking which just needed to walk a little further). Anyhow, I digress. 

We were given a table next to the beach. It was a little warm, but daddy managed to get the fan (stuck to the pillar) turned on. 

Our little family photo

The waitress could recognise us, and took our order. We wanted so many things, but our tummies could only fit so much.. sigh

Nice cool beer to start the meal

So here's what we ordered:

Squid in salted eggs

Steamed tiger prawns

Satay 

(and the spring chicken at the back.. I forgot to take a photo of it by itself)

Steamed fish

..and added beehoon and bean sprouts

There was also the spinach in broth, which I also missed out to photograph as I was busy dishing them out into smaller portions for everyone. 

And we almost finished everything as you can see from the photo. We only packed some satay and spring chicken.

Empty plates!

And here's a final photo of the restaurant before we bid our goodbyes!

Oh by the way, of course Mei-mei had to have photos of her at the beach this evening too:

Dinner in Ipoh

Since we went for Cheng Beng after the actual date, the graveyard was relatively empty. As usual, we had started late so it got very hot while we were there. 

Then we all hopped into our cars and headed to the Nirvana columbarium. It was a relatively long drive. And to our surprise there was quite a crowd there. At least it wasn't hot there, so we didn't need to rush. 

Then we all headed to have lunch.

Rested for the day, then on to Tong Hoi for dinner. 

Family Wefie

Tonight's dinner

Ipoh for Cheng Beng

The two of you had headed back to Ipoh yesterday afternoon, after Mei-mei got back from school. Ko-ko decided to leave a day earlier than to leave early in the morning with us. Well, you both had nice things to do: Ko-ko meeting up with his friend while Mei-mei getting to eat dinner (yummy ngar choy kai) with the Ipoh family. I'm glad that we have Ko-ko to drive the car and even make long distance trips.

As for us, we planned to leave the house as early as 6m, but in the end, we left around 6.30am. Not too bad still. Traffic was good and we arrived in the house in good time. Here's the morning photos I took on the highway:

Misty morning

Great Gatsby Party

We received an invitation from Uncle Sin Chuan to join in his company's annual dinner this year. One week before the party, daddy and I realised that it was themed. It was "The Great Gatsby". Oh dear... so we quickly placed an order online for some stuff which thankfully arrived on time.

I had on magnetic eyelashes, which daddy had helped me put on.. we tried MANY times to finally get them to stick properly and not look too wonky. How do I survive without this man....?

Then the 4 of us hopped into daddy's car and headed to Marriott Hotel for the part. We started off with pre-dinner cocktails then headed into the event hall.

Our wefie at the cocktail reception

Soon, dinner was served. In between, we were entertained by the staff of the company, heard speeches from the bosses, watched the videos of the employees presenting their breakthrough.

Tou-tou was so tickled when daddy put his hat on her

Ah Kong also looked so stylo in the hat

Tou-tou had too much to drink that she was shrieking when they brought her to the restrooms. In the end, Uncle Sin Tien and family had to call it a night slightly earlier, just as the party was winding down. 

We also had to leave earlier as we had an early start of the next day.
