9:04 AMYesterday was grandma's birthday!!! Dada took sis and i to ahmah's house for dinner
When we went there there was this huge gabazillion course dinner on the table. Oh all three aunties were there, ahmah was there, aunty jeanette and baby wenxi were there too!!! the other 2 cousins were there too so >.< (they were hogging dada's computer and made it crash!!! oh the pain...)
Anyway, dada was soo funny during meal times. because there was so many people, he chased away those two to the living room along with some other people so the dining area was quiet and all the food was there too! the other table ate, uh, our leftovers!
The first few dishes were as usual, the cold platter, veggies and light stuff. The duck was nice, actually the sauce was, so i helped myself. Ahhh... so addictive. Dada plucked up this huge chunk of meat and declared it the pig's head and teased it til my xiao-gu looked completely grossed out. Oh well, he ate it anyway.
The second set of dishes had this plate with more meat. Part of it was not cut of properly and dada pounced on it at once and once more played with his food XD He stretched the first bit, squashed the second and proundly showed it off to everyone as a pigeon! Poor er-gu actually thought he was serious... lol.
On the same plate also had these thingies speared with toothpicks. dada once more solemnly told everyone that was an eel's stomach >.< After stuffing the thing into his mouth with the whole table waiting for his comments, he made a face and said 'its taste like veggietubbles' 0.0!
Now the whole table was properly warmed up and everyone was discussing what the various dishes were. (really, the sauce and decorations hide every clue to what the dish might once have been) in the middle of the whole big discussion, dada suddenly said 'aiyoh! don't talk so much! eat your food!' the moment those words were uttered everyone was like 'hello? who was the one who started all this?'
Haha... the whole dinner was very nice indeed, and before the end of it all everyone was feeling so full. So many nice courses like sharks fin!
Dessert was served at the living room. Some lychee thingie that can beat an ice cream craving anyday. Dada bribed his way into wenxi's good books by feeding her his share XD (after dinner that poor thing couldn't sleep because she was on a sugar high, lol) The cake was last, of course. mmm... mango
Haha... dada is such fun, i'm gonna miss him when he goes back to vietnam
