On Saturday we celebrated current/belated Birthday's for my uncle and cousins.
^ My aunt made these meat-filled taro pastries. It's a recipe from her home village. Good stuff.
Dinner was at Chinatown. The restaurant was packed and a wedding reception was going on, so the service was kind of slow.
^Started off with assorted meat plate (no pic) followed by fish-maw soup.
^ After that we had Breaded Black-Bean Ribs, Fish Cake, Fried Rice (no pic), Tofu w/ Veggies (no pic), Squid w/ Veggies (no pic), and Noodles (no pic).
We had 2 tables reserved for dinner. The other table was served their lobster and they forgot to bring it for our table. When we finally got our lobster, they gave us a FREE EXTRA plate of Lobsters as compensation. That was awesome!
^ Lobster!
^ Then we had cake and fruits (no pic).
On Sunday, we had a Surprise 50th Birthday Party for my cousin Annalisa.
We partially celebrated it the night before, so I don't think she suspected anything. When she arrived, she was totally surprised to see all her family and friends there. The party was at an Italian Restaurant/Buffet hall.
^ 1st plate: Scramble eggs, bacon, sausage, eggs Benedict, mussels, roasted peppers/mushrooms/zuchini, mozzarella balls, tripe, and rabbit.
2nd plate (no pic): pancakes (very fluffy and good), sausage, bacon, lamb, and veal leg.
3rd plate (no pic): pancakes (really good), watermelon, grapes, pineapple, chocolate mousse cake, pastries, and cheese.
4th plate (no pic): pancakes (bloody good).
^ Ben's 1st plate: Breakfast food (see the pancakes - his was slightly burnt).
