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.

Granduncle's 80th bdae celebration at noble house. I've passed by this restuarant several times but never been inside before. so we were early but the aunts etc were earlier! they took the effort to paste this poster thingy to inform the diners the venue of the restaurant =)
And my granduncle have 10 kids. so they took the stage to wish their dad happy bdae before the dinner starts.
1st dish was shou bao. served by all his grandchildren. there were 30tables of friends and relatives so i didnt realise my granduncle have to many grandchildren!
prosperity platter. the roast duck is totally nice! and the fried thingy, which i have no idea wot it is.
sauteed scallop and cuttlefish in XO sauce. the scallop is nice but the cuttle fish doesnt have much taste imo.
in between courses, other grandaunts and his children/grandchildren took turn to put up some performances.
braised dried seafood in supreme broth. this is weird. tasted like pumpkin soup.
steam seabass in minced garlic. the waitress helped us debone the fish. i <3 steam seabass.
stew mushroom with fake abalone. this is normal.
House special roasted chicken.
ee-fu mee! my fave! =) tho i dont know why they serve as one of the last few dishes. im always full by the time they served this.
chocolate cake.
snow fungus, dried apricot and perilla seed. this is pretty sour and i dont like this even tho i like fungus.
I have high expectation for noble house cos i've heard good reviews abt it however lately i've also heard tt the standard dropped and i guess that is true cos i find the food to be juz normal, nth to jump abt. =)
