Three-O-Minus-One
My 29th birthday has been a non-stop food fest since Thursday.
First, it was dimsum at Oriental Jaya with CN, her hubs, EL and LY.
Then on Friday (the 'official' day), my colleagues did a surprise yao char koay and kopi breakfast at the pantry. To avoid my very food-sensitive radar of a nose, they hid everything early in the morning. I didn't suspect a thing. They (my friends, and of course, the food) are THAT good! Haha!
At night, LY took me to Vintry in Damansara Heights.
It's a lovely, lovely porky place right next to La Risata (behind Victoria Station), with an excellent wine selection, starting from RM50 and up. We had pork. Lots of pork. Roast pork. Roast caramelised pork. Bacon. Tom yam ribs. And a soothing oxtail soup. We chose a Wolf Blass Chardonnay which was actually pretty good at the price of RM55, to wash down all the porkiness. Ahhhhh!
A day over 29 on Saturday, I had a dimsum brunch with my folks. Then dinner at Celestial Steakhouse in Kelana Jaya with D. The chef was apparently once the personal chef of Donald Trump or something. Phoooah. The steaks were pretty yummy, though D's ribeye turned out more medium than medium rare. Good thing my prime rib arrived a juicy red medium rare. Slurp.
I've never been to a steakhouse that offered beef of 3 different nationalities. Wah... Chinese cows, Malaysian cows and American cows.
We went Malaysian, which was pretty good, and almost double the price of Chinese beef (I wonder if Chinese beef is imitation beef, like Chinese imitation leather goods, hehehe). Obviously the US beef was also almost double the price of Malaysian beef. A tad too extravagant, me thinks. The food here looked interesting though. Would go back to try their other stuff. Like the 7-cheese lasagna. Mmmmmmm.
Then Sunday night, a seafood dinner at one of my favourite crab places, Wong Poh, with some dear friends. We had cheese crab, salted egg crab, marmite mantis prawn, veges, Guinness ribs and yummy La Manila carrot cake. Followed by copious amounts of tea and lots of laughs.
It didn't stop there. There was a birthday lunch today with some colleagues from my department. We went to this Chinese restaurant in Aman Suria. Not bad at all.
And KC said she wants to treat me to makan and drinks coming weekend.
Gosh. All this eating BEFORE Chinese New Year. How like that!
Bestttt!
Thanks for a well-stuffed belly this birthday.
Thanks for the lovely pressies.
Thanks for the lovely company and friendship.
Thanks for the love.
My belly so lucky.
