Birthday Mum

Happy XX birthday, Mummy!

if you were to ask me how old my mum is, i really can't give an accurate answer. she is really good in keeping mum about her age (like they say age is a woman's secret!) that i realised we only use a single large candle for her birthday cakes!

my only clue is that she's 3 years younger than dad.
and my dad's age, i can't recall.
LOL.it wasn't meant to be a joke.

this year, sis & i were the lone rangers left to celebrate her "10th" birthday with her because dad went on a business trip to Prague.

Mum's a buffet fanatic.
the actual day, we had Chilli Padi (peranakan buffet)
the day after, she & i visited Vienna International Buffet!





in comparison to Pariss, this was way more worthwhile for its quality and variety. but still, it didn't come cheap. bill was $90 for 2 and i had to wallop plates of seafood + desserts before making the trip worth paying. hah.

then for the family celebration.
not buffet, phew~

lunch was settled at a vegetarian eating house followed by mum's generous treat to Swensen's. seems like its gonna be her yearly tradition soon.

in line with mid-autumn, i made mooncakes for them~


snowskin white lotus paste, snowskin pandan lotus
both filled with almond slices & homemade paste.
