Family Matters the Most

Every year when i make a wish during my birthday. it's not to strike toto (I don't even buy them in the first place, hahah) or make more money or have big bonuses but to wish for everyone in my family the best of health and be truly happy all the time.

there are many things in life which can weigh you down. Things which make you feel lost and hopeless. But when there's someone to hold you, give you courage and lead you the way. You are not alone.

Hold onto the things that matter most to you and be happy!

I hope everyone's birthday wishes come true for them.

Dining at Bistro Du Vin (River Valley)

Free flow of bread which was warm and crusty. So much till Jules overate and vomitted out at later part of the dinner onto hubs' pants.

 Little man! how can you eat at a fancy restaurant with one leg up on the chair!!!

 everyone is waiting for their food to arrive

we ordered beef cheek braised in red wine served in a cast iron pot (keeping it hot all the time), lamb shank in white wine with juicy cherry tomatoes and duck leg confit.

I love their mashed potatoes. really yummy.

we didn't order any desserts because we are going home to cut my birthday cake!

It's my birthday and My first visit to 海底捞

It's my birthday today!! and I've left the boys at my in-laws to have a celebratory lunch at Hai Di Lao with hubs. When we arrived, we were give seats to sit, a tray of tidbits and some drinks to settle ourselves. As we arrived pretty early at 11am, we didn't have to wait long before we got a table to ourselves.

We chose the 4 types of soup - tomato (my favourite), chicken stock, mala and mushroom. The service was very good, a bit too attentive to my liking because I preferred to be left on my own when doing steamboat. The waitress did a sauce for me, scooped soup for me to drink and even went to chase for our food orders.

 we ordered pork balls, fish meat, beef, chicken, mushrooms, veggies.

Their starters by the counter was very good!! Helped to curb my hunger pangs before the soup starts boiling. The only thing which they didnt' have was instant noodles....aiyah that is such an important thing for steamboats nowadays!!!

 my sis came over to have a cuppa coffee with us...
