Peking Duck for the Birthday Girl :)

Lin and I are sentimental beings. We treasure people around us very much. It's becos we had lost a few closed ones over the years. And partly becos it's diffcult to find close friends as we age. They are such rare gems. Tina is one of our precious gem. :) 

This evening we celebrate Tina's birthday! :D An early celebration this year as Tina would be away for business trip and Angie would be in Niseko. 

The birthday gal requested we do Chinese. :) Hence we went Peking. :))) Strangely, we have never eaten Peking duck together before. I wonder why? :))) Anyway we are going to savor it together tonite. :D

The first cut was to be eaten with sugar. :)

Yeah to soup! :) We had crab meat with winter melon soup. 

Wendy requested for roasted pork. :D

Drunken prawns made tonite's dinner a less meaty affair. :D

Tofu with spinach and mushrooms balance our meal :)

Noodles are an essential during birthdays. We are pretty traditional in this aspect eh? :)))

We weren't planning to have desserts but the aroma of durian from one of the tables made us caved in for a bowl of durian pudding. :))) 

Hehehe (rub my nose)...share the guilt. That's what friends are for. :)))

Wishing Tina a happy happy birthday, stay healthy and chirpy and may more fats come your way! ;)
