We feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don’t let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.

mothers day dinner was a super impromptu affair this yr. or at least to me it was. prob cos of mis comm b/w my mom n my grandma. we werent exactly sure wot time my grandma will be done with her community club activities so we were juz waiting for her call.
alas we made it to lao beijing at tiong bahru plaza. there arent make restaurants suitable for mothers day at tbp so we juz settled at lbj. juz as well tt i've nvr ate there b4 =)
unfortunately they dont do ala carte and we were forced to order the set menu. which is good for me cos i hate cracking my brains on wot to order.
the nuts n the pickles. i <3 these braise nuts! they are so soft n crunchy. how oxymoronic haha. but pass me achar instead of cucumbers anytime man!
double boiled sharksfin soup with sakura chicken. the soup is nt bad. i pref this kinda sharksfin soup to the sticky kind. i always feel tt those sticky sharksfin soup are rather bland. afterall the broth is always chicken based right, since sharksfin have no taste anyway. yums.
my fave peking duck! was so happy to see this on the menu!!! of cos everyone swop down immediately on this peking duck cos we were all famished! dinner only started at 8for us when our usual wkend dinner time is 530!!!
peking duck crepe all set! this is obv nt mine. mine will juz have the crepe skin, duck and the sweet sauce hahaha!
guo tie. my grandma kept asking us if we ordered this!!! and was disappointed tt we could nt order ala carte so i guess she must really like this. but this is really nt bad! =) best to eat when its hot!
deep fried soon hock with bean sauce. this is another of my fave fave fave. cos i love the fish sauce with plain rice. too bad i didnt order rice cos i'll b overstuffed if i did. but the soon hock is fresh n crispy! i <3 this totally even though this is a common dish.
stir fried venison with mushroom! i <3 this dish too. i've always kinda like venison cos its like a cross b/w mutton and beef and its really tender! some cze char started selling venison but its nt a meat tt every one does well cos if u overcook, it'll b hard and too chewy.
braised broccoli with dried scallop and crab meat. i was already full to 90% at this point so i only ate a slice of it!
beijing style fried mien xian! i didnt know u can fry mien xian like that tho! tasted super alot like bee hoon but i <3 it, even at my 90% capacity, i finished it! =)
shou pau. i dislike nian rong so i didnt have any. but i was amazed my uncle's gf nvr see this in her entire life b4!
the best way to end such a fulfilling dinner is wif mango with pomelo. yums.
happy belated mother's day everyone!! =))
