初七 - 人日

today is 人日, which is everybody's birthday!

the afternoon was spent at my jc classmate baozhen's place. every year we will always have steamboat at her house. she prepares and provides all the food. what a wonderful host. :)



(she uses heinz chicken broth soup as 汤底. add in corn, 当归 and 枸杞子 to enhance the soup. power!)


(i love to open her fridge to see the different varieties of chocolates)

(both of us are teachers and we have big tummies! hahaha.)

at night i went to furama riverfront hotel with my family for a reunion dinner with the relatives from my mum's side. the hotel restaurant serves international buffet. the most popular food is lobster laksa, whereby the queue is never-ending. their desserts section is not bad too, they have ice kachang, hot soya bean grass jelly, nyonya kueh, pretty cakes, chocolate fondue and even swenson ice cream!

final stop of the day is at darling's house. must spend more quality time with her because in the next few weeks i will be super busy with sch stuff and she will also be super busy with her tests and fyp.
