Listening to ... 浜崎あゆみ - Curtain Call
All pain is gone, I'm in a happier mood to blog now =)
Chef Bear suddenly had the "feeling" to cook over the weekend so he prepared dinner for Elle, me and himself.
(L to R) Ma Po Tofu, Shitake mushroom stir-fried with butter, Broccoli with prawn, Minced pork with onions

Earlier on in the day the three of us had chilli crab for lunch with June. We ordered one jumbo sized crab and that meal filled us all to the brim. The dinner prepared by Dear was also another super filling one. Gosh~ I swear I gained a couple of kilos just from those 2 meals that day >.<
Chef Bear's cooking frenzy did not end there. He went on making desserts over the next few days like mango and chocolate pudding and also 烫圆 ! Hehe. Here's pictures as promised...
He started off with purple ones.
I placed my vitagen there for the fun of it. Since I was drinking it anyway.. Lols~
All done!
So colourful. Lols~ Looks like coloured pebbles in the pic. Haha!
He tried to mix the purple colouring with the green one for fun but it ended up a darker shade of purple that's all. Chey!

It was Boss's birthday last Friday and his daughter invited the whole agency to Shang Palace at Shangri-la Hotel for the celebration.
Food at Shangri-la is well-known for being really good plus there's a promotion going on for people who celebrate their birthday at Shang Palace. Discount will be given based on the birthday person's attained age. My boss is 59, so got 59% discount.
SUPER worth it for such GREAT food!
My colleague read on the papers that a 80 year old ah pek went there to celebrate his birthday as well. 80% discount! So shiok. Haha.
Imagine a 100 year old go there to celebrate.. FREE MEAL! =D

She doesn't look like she's reaching 60 right? So envious~ She's also often mistaken as a japanese. Haha.

The beautiful plate was later changed to a normal plain white plate before lunch was served. zZzzz... And I thought they actually provide such pretty plates for us to use.
Their Tea Menu
Look like those divination sticks people use in the temple =X

I was thinking if people can't decide which tea to choose, they'll just shake the container until one stick falls out. Haha~
Interesting.
They took quite a while to serve the first dish as it needed some preparation time.
Peking Duck
The wrap was a tad too thick. Could be thinner and the dish will be perfect.
And this is where the meal started to get better...
Double boiled supreme shark's fin, assorted seafood
That huge slice you see is actually the one whole slice of shark's fin O.O
Never had one this big in my life.
Sautéed egg white, conpoy, minced fish, crab claw
MMmmmm~ More crab crab crab~ =D~
Baked cod fish in miso sauce

Baked cod fish in miso sauce
Most of us mistook the miso sauce for cheese coz of the texture. Lols~ I'm not a big fan of cod fish as the meat makes me feel like I'm eating fats >.< but overall, it's still not that bad.
Pork belly, golden mantou
The chef made the mantou into a stick form. So cute! Haha~ it's actually easier for us to dip it in the sauce in this stick form. How thoughtful~
No idea why it's called fried 'five' rice. That's what it's printed in the menu. It consists of some brown rice and don't know what else. The rice was pretty dry and my sore throat was acting up again so I couldn't finish the rice =(

Last but not least, dessert!
Cream of avocado, sago, ice cream

The dessert was soooooo good, it left all of us speechless and licking up every single bit of it off the plate. The ice cream was sweet, with the little sour strawberry bits countering part of the sweetness.. match it with the avocado and sago... mmmmm... Heaven~~~
Wonderful, wonderful meal indeed.
Happy Birthday Boss! =)
