marietta's and joanne's birthday

marietta's birthday
- a home sweet home celebration

it all started with days of planning.. and asking everyone to pretend that they had forgetten about her birthday..
and of course brain-storming recipes for her birthday dinner...

chefs of the day...
busy cooking before marie is back.....

xiaoqi's "homework"
- a must eat dish in korean's bitthday-seaweed soup.

a war in the kitchen..

a very tasty mee suan prepared by meixiu..

finally... dinner is ready... ^^

xiaoqi's seaweed soup- which looked very wrong?? hmmm...



cappuccino cake which amanda and xiaoqi got from "Holiland Barkey"..
and Banana Split by Wanjing.....



eating eating and still eating... yum!!~



the family..

the gem.

p/s: very sad that marietta actually thought that they would forget about her birthday...
they are not that heartless!!..

joanne's birthday
-a crazy and fun dinner!



"三只耳".. a very posh restaurant..

booked a room..





getting ready..



a rack for their coats...



tv in the room...



a personal restroom which had such rich oriental touch...



what should they order??



their personal waiter.. and their favorite line throughout the meal
“服务员！”


and the food....






with the automated revolving table.. it became a challenge to scoop the food out... but it was definitely fun!.. and therefore also not all dishes were captured..



the birthday girl...




last but not least dessert at “一品粥”... yum!!
