Another basi post. On 31st August we were invited to Pek Kong's 80th Birthday Dinner at Empire Hotel, Subang Jaya.
Dinner supposed to start at 7pm. 5pm Ah Mah, Ah Kong and kaw Kaw already dressed to their best. By 6pm we were already there.
There was a small "cocktail" party before the dinner. Hungry ah.......makan muruku first.
I tengah hungry, this guy come take photo of me pulak....
I pun take photo of him la.....Papa said if hungry ask that the Uncle (waiter) for food la. But i mistaken waiter with this guy. He asked me what I wanna eat. I said noodle. He said don't have but have McD...I said okay la....he told me to wait.....
Listening to Lenglui singing while waiting for my food.
Finally....around 7.45pm the MC announced asking all the children and grandchildren to gather outside the hall. For a moment there I thought the MC was asking "Children" a.k.a me(kid) to go out. But Mamarazzi said not me.
Phew....lucky I didn't go out else will be embarrassed as the MC meant Children of the Birthday Boy.The Birthday Boy made a grand entrance surrounded by his beloved children and grand children.
Around 8.03pm the food arrived.
Super hungry .....can't wait to eat
But still got time to "kaypoh" this blinking Ice Cube which they use for decoration for the food. Very clever.
Next comes the soup. this hotel very "diplomatic" leh. The sharkfin they put in a separate bowl. For those who doesn't take sharkfin, they can just have the soup. If those who eat sharkfin. they can just scoop some into their own bowl
How do you guys usually takes sharkfin/non sharkfin soup? Mamarazzi likes to put vinegar and pickled green chilly. Some would put brandy.
Next dish was roast duck and roast Chicken.
Hehehe......use hand faster la...
Fish......Big steamed fish....but I ate a bit only coz scared there are bone.
Yummy big big prawns.
Birthday Boy was then serenade by his grand children. One of his grand children wrote a song specially for him. So talented.
Next cake cutting ceremony
Nah...we didn't get to eat that gigantic cake. Not sure whether it's real cake or fake one like in most weddings.
Instead, we get to eat these delicious muffins.
It's got 4.....Mamarazzi, Papa and Ah Mah gave me theirs.
Next......noodle....if not mistaken ..it's mi suah.....but it's nothing like what Uncle Arthur belanja me eat before geh......I like Uncle Arthur's version more.
With all the food and all the wine, everyone were in a "happy mode". Instead of staying at the table, people started walking around and mingled....me too.......enjut enjut on stage......
Getting nearer to the "blondie."
Gonna be midnight liao....when dinner gonna be over ah? I kept asking Papa can we go home now.... sleepy leh.
Last dish..... longevity dumpling.
Hmmm...before that.......gotta call that guy up....
Where the heck is my McD? 7pm delivery till 12midnight still haven't arrive...5 hours leh..... but that guy was not picking up his phone....adui....I kena bluff againnn...........
The pink dumpling dish is beautiful!!! It looks like a flower.This is really late for you to be eating!! Are these birthday family famous people?

ReplyDelete:p
DeleteIt is Kaldip!!! I saw Kaldip!!!! He looked so cute like Small Kucing. Same face la like Xerox Copy! Muahahahaha
ReplyDeletePiak u...of course la Xerox copy .....
DeleteI don't support Killing Sharks but i ate almost all the sharks fin soups as the restaurants don't serve genuine ones these days. It will cost RM80 at least for a small bowl of genuine one.
ReplyDeleteIt is easy to tell whether real or faked by just taking your spoon to press the thin fins on the plate. A real one is not easy to break like those made from Tung Fan glass noodles. Even the suppliers who sell the faked sharks fins have different grades these days like - Grade A Fake (Almost impossible to tell) until low Grade C Fake (Like eating Tung fan strips)
oooh like that ka? didnt know....but then at these function tak kan la wann take an press....malu la...later if discovered fake then host no face liao ler
DeleteTai Thomg used to serve genuine ones but they have banned already the sales to support the good cause.
ReplyDeletegood for them lor
DeleteI attended my wife's graduation lunch at the Empire's Ballroom and their food was quite delicious. I love their modern decor.
ReplyDeletethis was our second time there....
DeleteHaha, I think that day just "bluff" you lah LOL
ReplyDeletelol.... yea lo.....kena bluff
DeleteI feel for ya, kiddo. That's why I pre-eat before I go for these things, haha. But still starving when the first dish comes out :P
ReplyDeleteI take my shark's "fin" (using the word loosely here) soup with just soy sauce. No vinegar. I remember an uncle of mine who takes his with just chilli (padi or pickled). I also think it's just "tang hoon" these days and not actual fin too :P
no time to pre-eat leh ....was syok syok having my afternoon nap till about 5pm....kena dragged up liao to attend the function.
Deleteye....most are imitation la
Wow..such a grand celebration. Time to makan still want mcd?
ReplyDeletefood havent arrive leh....hungry wor
Deleteaiyoh, reached there so early??!! usually chinese dinner always late one, though stated 7pm but all the time always start no earlier than 8pm lah.. i wonder why those people are always so late?? if i am the host, i will sure make the dinner start on the dot..
ReplyDeletereach there early coz scared late lor......
Deleteerrr...as for timing of the dinner....susah wanna comment
who was that uncle?? say wanted to buy McD for Small Kucing but didn't keep the promise, asyik want to take photo of Small Kucing only.. woi, mamarazzi didn't get him to pay?? hehe.. :D
ReplyDeleteLOL.....later call him ask for payment la
DeleteLOL.....later call him ask for payment la
DeletePek Kong is Ah Kong's elder brother is it?? aiyoh, then Small Kucing also can go out to march in with Pek Kong mah, also consider his grandchildren wat~~ the old people especially brothers very good one, my son is your son, your son is my son.. but when it comes to daughters i don't know lah, hahaha!! :D
ReplyDeletenah...cannot la...those were for direct grandchildren ler
Deletethat huge cake sure fake one lah, it belongs to the restaurant and kept in the store room.. whenever there is a function, wedding or birthday, they will use the same cake one lah then say FREE cake cutting ceremony sponsored by the restaurant, duh~~ :p
ReplyDeletehahahahah...yeah...like those wedding punya
Deletewah, got blondie singing on the stage?? what kind of songs she sang?? English songs or Chinese songs?? then the longevity buns looked very nice leh, the big one nice the small ones also very cute, inside is lotus paste??
ReplyDeletechinese and english songs but not those tearful ones la....
Deletespeaking of the bun so funnly la...Mamarazzi thought inside the big bun have isi...but when she ":cut" it was empty...actually it was just like a "topi" put in the middle of the plate.
DeleteShe recalls last time when she attended a relative's "Sau Chau" they have this big bun and when cut open there are many smaller buns inside
Chinese dinners are often this draggy, esp when it's a birthday do - lots of catching up to do among relatives, mah. Food looks good.
ReplyDeleteLucky the next day no school...lol...can laze around the house and catch up with some snooze
DeleteWahhhh...hebatnya! Makan sampai lewat malam! Kalah auntie!
ReplyDeletewakakak......you mengaku kalah ah
