Pauline, the Birthday Star! :)

This year, Lin & I wanted to give Pauline something special for her b'day. The poor lady has been swamped with work & we wanted very much to give her some energy booster! :D

 

I tried looking for the smallest b'day cake possible and a Cedele Chocolate Truffle Cake was my final pick. It was the smallest of all whole cakes being displayed in the cake chiller. :))) Ooo it was rich.......

 

Btw, there wasn't any decor on the cake except the Happy Birthday tag provided by Cedele. I used the mistletoe from Bakerzin's log cake (given by Pauline on Christmas eve) and stuck it into the cake. :)))

 

The birthday lady suggested having Teochew porridge. After a week long of Christmas feasting, Teochew porridge is the kindest on our stomaches. :) So here's our spread.

 

It's not a duckie day. I ran three places just to get braised duck. *.* All the braised duck stalls which we like were closed today???

 

The fish was fried by Lidia. :)

 

Mom did the preserved turnip eggs and Lidia stir-fried green marrow (one of my fav veg).

 

The condiments which go well with plain porridge. :)

 

Bugger... I forgot to take a pic of the bowl of comforting plain porridge....pardon me as our dinner was close to 9pm... *.*

 

 

 

 

To Pauline, with a friend like you who/who's:

1) fun & funny

2) loving

3) rolling eyes at my "creativity"

4) supportive of my work to the extent of carrying buckets of water for my floral arrangements N times from point A to point B,C,D...

5) pampering me with stuff I like (such as macarons)

6) goes breakfast, lunch, tea & dinner, movies etc with me & hangs out at our place 

7) ever patient with my pic taking even when it means she gotta pose a really long time

9) never loses temper at me

10) loves Koka

 

Blessed B'day! :) You're a star! ;)
