I was supposed to have S over for dinner at home to celebrate her birthday. I'm not cooking and could just get delivery. But a whole spate of minor home repairs and such made it eeeky to do so. I was too tired to clean, even though dinner meant that the dishwasher does the bulk of the dishes after. Had to ask S to make do with Yan Ting instead. Luckily the sweet girl didn't mind that!
It was a busy evening at the restaurant. Food took some time to arrive, but the dishes all came one after another, so that was fine. I passed on the daily soup, which was a seaweed-something. No. I don't like seaweed soup done Cantonese style. It'll be soooo weird. Skipped the rest of the soups too since I didn't feel like fish maw or anything like that. Opted for an easy glass of red wine. Hahaha.
Had an easy three-headed abalone with bits of broccoli. Asked for the oyster sauce at the side, but the kitchen still drizzled some onto the plate. Zzzzz. Kitchen, at the side means NO SAUCE on the plate can! At least the abalone wasn't swimming in it. The fillet of sea perch with miso came plated with berries. I blinked. WhyyyYyyyy. That was sooooo weird.
The food came with a big serving of our requested minced garlic and chilli padi. Yay! Of course I inhaled the entire plate of garlic. Mmmmm. S had to have her favorite stir-fried seafood vermicelli (海鮮炒米線). The restaurant does this pretty well. We were totally full by then. Dunno why we ordered dessert. Managed to stuf in a dessert of gui ling gao (herbal jelly) with a tiny drizzle of honey.
