Dad's Birthday Celebration Day 1

Woo. It has been such a hectic week for me... There was something on everyday. So much to attend to... and just too much to eat. haha... no complains when there's food. And so my system finally decided to shut down today... 

Doctor: Okay, you have a cold, cough and sore throat. I can give you two days MC.
Me: Oh ok... Erm, one day would do.
Doctor: Ok! You sure? I'm going to print the MC now.
Me: Oh... Err.... Hmm... *after 10 secs of Er-Hmm-Er-Hmm*
........ ok lar

As the chinese always say... 禍從口出.. 

Let's take a look at 我是怎麼禍從口進!!

This is a 壽桃.
Traditional Longevity Birthday Bun

十月一日 不只是我國的兒童节和中國的國慶日之外,恰巧地也是我父親的生日。
是啦。。他是很的兒童!嘿嘿。

On the eve of my Dad's birthday, we held a 9 course lunch for 7 tables at the Boon Lay Raja Restaurant. Those invited were mainly my Dad's business pals, good friends and some close relatives.

Sampan 冷盤(cold dish)? Heehee... it's 缤纷五福拼盤
Five Fortune Hot & Cold Combination

龍蝦超好吃的!

You might not have noticed where the lobster is... 'cuz it's being covered by the mayonnaise! But it was damn good and fresh.

Just to share with you guys more background information about this restaurant.

Boon Lay Raja Restaurant was first established in the 1979 (older than me! yay!), and they cater for most occasions such as Wedding Banquets, Buffet Caterings, Annual Dinner Function as well as Family Day Events. 

I have been here many many times since young. They are definitely one of the BETTER pioneer restaurants in Singapore and serves very good quality Chinese dishes at reasonable prices. 

Their signature dishes - Braised Shark's Fins with Dry Scallop & Crab Meat, Roasted Crispy Duck with Mango, Home-made tofu with mushroom, Heavenly Roasted Crispy Chicken, Asparagus and Celery Scallops, and alot more! They also serve Dim Sum.

They have promotional set menus and changes them regularly. Now for the best part - NO SERVICE CHARGE OKAY!

Don't be put off by the location, it's only a stone's throw from the Jurong East Entertainment Centre. 

Definitely worth a visit. :)
