Birthday Dinner

It was 爸爸's birthday yesterday. I bought him a shirt (boring gift but I can't go to far with 2 kids in tow) with the money I earned through advertisement placements in my food blog. Thank you Nuff Nang! This is the first time I buy a gift with the money I earned since I'm a SAHM. I couldn't have done it without Nuff Nang, so give me more ads, okay? Anyway, I saw 爸爸 looking at that shirt a few times when we pass by the shop. So I guess I shouldn't have made a wrong choice even if it was a boring gift lah.

On top of that, I cooked him a sumptuous dinner (sumptuous - I said one lah ... hahaha) a day before his birthday because he said he might need to work late on his birthday. And yesterday, I bake him a cake and made him Longevity Noodles aka Mee Sua. He said his grandma and mother used to cook that for him and his brothers during their birthday so it he was very pleased to eat that ... 有婆婆和妈妈的味道。哈哈哈！

I'm glad the cake turned out rather well because I'm very new to baking and it was only my 5th attempt in baking and my 2nd in cake. I thought I was too ambitious in wanting to add a Ganache Topping and butter icing! I have never tried that. I'm just happy everyone love it.

Yeah, 爸爸 was very pleased with his mini birthday celebration which was held over 2 days.
