Celebrating My Mum's Bday at Ming Kee Live Seafood

My family went to Ming Kee Seafood restaurant to celebrate my mum's birthday. 

The tea was served in a mini glass.

We ordered frog's leg.  This time, we didn't order the spicy version as dad was having a bad throat.

Crab Beehoon (1.3kg -> $56)

Their version of crab beehoon was different from that of Mellben.  This is the "dry" version not the soupy one.  The staff told us that their crabs were all from Sri Lanka and at least 1.2kg.  However, we all felt that the one served to us was not that big.  We normally ordered 1kg crab when we dine in Mellben and a 1 kg crab was already very big.  Thus, we doubt this one weighed 1.3kg.

Home-made Tofu with Spinach and Mushroom, in scallop sauce

I like this simple dish, the smooth and silky texture of the tofu especially.

Guiness Pork Ribs

For dessert, we had soursop with longan.  Quite refreshing but rather sour.

Happy Mothers' Day - Dinner at Wo Peng Restaurant (MacPherson)

Together with my parents, we had a good dinner at Wo Peng Restaurant in MacPherson (very near to my parents' place).  I got to know about this restaurant through Camemberu blog :)   Initially, I thought of bringing my parents to Tao's restaurant as they have very good service and value for money set meal.  However, when I called for reservation, they told me that there is an additional surcharge of $10 for each person during this weekend due to Mother's Day.  I replied that in that case, we would come some other time instead.  After that, I was searching for a place to bring my parents to and it seemed that Wo Peng was the best choice.  Happy that I did not make the wrong decision. 

It is not easy to find a parking place especially during dinner time.  It is a good thing that the restaurant provides complimentary valet parking service.  The day before, I called in for reservation and I was advised to pre-order the dishes as well.  Thus, based on the recommendation on the phone, I ordered the following dishes:

Cripsy fish skin

Soup

Wasabi Prawns

    Charcoal Grilled Goose

After dinner, we went to Downtown East to collect the Mother's Day cake that I ordered from Emicakes.  At Downtown East, my mum also managed to get a new Nokia handphone.  She was delighted!!  After that, they came over to my place to cut the durian cake.

I would like to wish all mothers a very

HAPPY MOTHER'S Day!!!

Premium D24 Durian Cake

Sidenote:  Upon reaching home, I switched on my laptop and surf the net. Of course, as usual I will diligently check my blog and I can say that I am very lucky that as I logged on to my blog, I saw Camemberu just put up a contest on her blog:  I quickly commented on the post and I was the second person to comment! Thus, I am one of the winners!! Whoohoo!!! :)

Today is indeed a very happy day.
Cheers!!
