Here goes the celebration in detail.....
Last year, I had ikea sent him a chair i bought, and the man assembled the chair right before him.
This year, he was expecting another delivery....
err....im very creative wan lo....i wun repeat surprises lo.... la la la la
he asked,
'u got write the wrong address for the delivery man or not?',
'did u remember that i moved office? not 1st flr anymore u noe?'
haha.....im not stupid.
He picked me up at 6.45pm.
I took over the wheels, and made him close his eyes. But i guessed curiosity almost killed him.
He has no idea where we are going, and he doesn't know what to expect for his birthday present.
haha...
As we were approaching Mandai exit, he said,
' i know where we are going alrd la....to the zoo right?'
and i said,
'so clever....i made a reservation with the ah meng, we'll have dinner with him at 7.30pm sharp.'
He must have took it for real....until i turned into Mandai Orchid Garden instead. hee....
yesh, his birthday dinner will be at Vanilla Pod.
He was surprised.
yeah! i win! haha....
So, the suspense for the location is over, nex, will be the present.
He kept asking,
'what is the present?'
'orh, i noe...u must have bought MEtoYou figurine for me.'
And i said,
'so clever....'
So he assumed I bought the teddybear figurine.
Then, we saw another guest in the house.
hahahaha!!! kermit!!!
He was hoping that he can open up the present immediately,
but i said, No, it has to be after our soup.
la la la la la la....
We were hungry.....and we thought this could whet our appetite....hee...
Here comes the toasted french loaf...
smells so nice! taste even betta! must have been too hungry to judge an ordinary bread...
Ok, here comes our mushroom soup!
for a moment, we were stunned.
this looks more like or-bee-buey
hee....
ok, i tell u, it tasted betta!
the look is indeed deceiving.
aniwae, the white thing is not coconut, it's cream.
with bits of mushroom and potatoe, niceeeeeeeeee.
10bucks for that.
We were actually seated at the al fresco area, and there were no other diners, except us.
I looked out of the sliding window, and i thought, the whole scene is so serene. I picture Orchard road, very bz, with tons of pple crossing the roads, and underpass, walking in and out of the malls, ....
and there we were, in the ulu part of singapore island, enjoying our dinner with the fresh orchids, and kermit.....
it's so quiet and peaceful....
that was what is happening outside.
Then, i cue for him to open the present after our soup.
He was already expecting the teddy bear rem???
so look at picture 6, i suppose he was elated!
haha....
yup! i bought him STAR WARS!!! and it is YODA!
hee....
This is not a toy, this is an adult collectible.
It is a bust.
swee hor?....hee....the price also swee..... :9
ok, that's me, acting proud, with our yoda....
Then, the food came, and the kind lady offered to take a picture for us.
The menu:
carbonara for him
angel's hair for me with scallop...yum yum!!
that's me and my pasta and our yoda.
hee...
The pasta is yummy yummy yummy!
im gonna say it was served al dente and the scallop is marinated jus nice!!
really nice!
The taste still lingers in me now u noe!
and for a start, i thought my pasta looks like wan tan mee....haha....
Now, i have to compliment the malay lady who served us all nite.
She is patient, polite and always ready to smile and chat with us.
I didnt tell her that we are celebrating a birthday here when i reserved the table.
Yet, she observed that there is a present on the table, and she prepared a chocolate truffle for him even before i asked them too!
and looked, she specially asked the chef to decorate the simple cake.
the cake is nice!
and it was complimentary by the restaurant.
