This might be a bit unusual but it was held in an Indian restaurant. It's my favourite indian restaurant too. I think he is the only chef who really listened to my request for "Maggi goreng with no vegetable and NO cili".
My grand parents had celebrated their birthday and anniversaries in some pretty posh restaurants and places before. Anything we can think of, they are able to claim "been there, done that...so what's new? ". Ah Kong have very high expectation of food from restaurants. Anything not nice, he will say " Beh hiau koh!" *LOL*
Guess this round Ah Kong and Ah Mah were really surprised lor. Papa and Kaw Kaw managed to hatch up a plan to surprise them ...celebrate at Indian restaurant.
Yup.. Ah Kong and Ah Mah have been to this place a few times and they like the food here pretty much. Most important thing of the celebration is to give them what they like. Betul tak?
On that day, Papa, Kaw Kaw and Mamarazzi brought them to the restaurant at a pretext of a late breakfast after they dropped me at school for my school activities.
Ah Kong was surprised to "bumped" into a small group of relative eating there. Not suspecting anything, he saw the buffet table and asked the boss what's the occassion and who is having a party there. *LOL*
Wah...loaded with food that Ah Kong and Ah Mah loves.
Hmmm....surprisingly many likes the mutton here pulak. Papa was apprehensive at first on ordering too much mutton as many may not like to eat mutton. But this dish finished very fast while quite a lot of fried chicken was left.
Uiks.....where's the fried chicken photo ah? Ah...must be Mamarazzi missed snapping picture of those dishes coz she zoomed to school to pick me up to attend the luncheon.
Eh eh eh....wait...Haven't make up yet.... Both pretty excited.
The road to reach 80 years old is long and for those who managed to stay married for 50 years is quite rare nowadays. This is certainly a photo to be cherished.
Thank you very much to all the relatives and friends who make time and came to the celebration.
What a pleasant surprise to your Ah Mah & Ah Kong! The best is the photo of a big family gathering to add to the family album. Have a beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteYup..hahaha...ah mah already knew but dunno the venue aje
DeleteWah seh! This is what I missed. If not for my prior plans I would have come join the fun and wallop the mutton curry. Congratulations to your Ah Kong and Ah Mah for staying married 50 years and of course belated birthday wishes to your Ah Kong. May your Ah Kong and Ah Mah have many more happy, healthy and loving years to come!

DeleteCongrats to your Ah Kong and Ah Mah on staying married for 50 years. What a great idea to celebrate at this special place so that Ah Kong and Ah Mah get a big big surprise as they don't expect it at all.
ReplyDeleteAh Kong married quite late at 30 years old because last time people married very young so 30 years old is considered old for marriage.
Looks like a great time! What a lovely surprise! :)
