And here we are TaoYuan-ing again, exactly 30 days after Uncle Rolly’s birthday dinner.
The Oldies (guess which one is the celebrant tonight)
The not-yet-so-oldies-but-getting-there-soon
Aside from the mainstays at Tao Yuan (Hainanese chicken, Peking duck, suahe and laksa), I am thankful Donna orders different dishes tonight.
Birthday Miswa – so much tastier than regular birthday noodles
Assorted Appies – chasiu, suckling pig, soya goose, century egg, five-spice beef, jellyfish
Suahe – fresh and sweet as always
Our very own suahe peelers (hehe)
Peking Ducks
Peking duck skin and meat. And Donna’s fingers caught in the act!
Hainanese Chicken
Laksa – excellent as always
Spinach Soup
Assorted Seafood in Golden Taro Bowl
Minced Duck and Lettuce Leaf
Twin Mango Lapu-Lapu
Chilled Mango Sago
Chrysanthemum Jelly and Coconut Sesame Balls
The giveaways: Lock & Lock water bottles filled with candies and chocolates.
I open mine up and gorge on the KitKat Chunky right away. Yumm-eeeeyyy.
Look at Hearty all dressed up
Pacita’s Mocha Cake, Hizon’s Chocolate Cake, Diamond Hotel’s Baked Cheesecake
Eternal Flame? (Hihihi!)
The Pascual Family, missing Paul, Ritchie, and Johann
Happy Birthday, Auntie Kiddie!
