Mabuhay Palace, A Fifth Time ♥ ♥

Mabuhay Palace seems to be the default Chinese restaurant where we celebrate birthdays 
of the Fatterside oldies. See Dad's birthday dinner here and Auntie Kiddie's here.

We were so hungry we asked Cafe Ilang-Ilang for some dinner rolls. Thank you, Chef Mac! :)

 

 

As usual, I was in charge of the ordering.

And I got overly excited about it, too. As usual.

Wintermelon Soup. I wanted Buddha Jump Over the Wall soup but
Chef Sun Bing recommended a lighter option to go with our heavier mains.
Next time I'll stick with the jumping Buddha.
