My mom's bday is Nov 4, so we decided to go out to eat on Sat as they only had the buffet on sat and not sun.
---
My sis and I photo whoring while waiting for my mom who was on her way from picking up my bro and Ash.
---
We went to Tung Lok at East Coast which had a Lunch Ala Carte Dim Sum buffet. It was $18.80++ which was a pretty good deal. They had the more exp $28.80 one that includes sashimi and ??, something else that I don't remember.
---
My mom with her present from my bro and ash. It is a limited edition DKNY Calf Hair bag. They got it when they were in HK. Supposedly they only brought in one to sell in S'pore and there were only 2 in HK. Don't know how much it cost but I have a feeling that it's a lot!
On to lunch!!
---
Century Egg Porridge. Yum, not enough century egg but then it was a tiny bowl.
---
Chicken Glutinous Rice in Lotus Leaf. Not too bad ...
---
On the left is Pork Ribs and on the right, the ever familiar Chicken Feet! Yes, come on, everyone in the US .. DROOL!! :) Loved the pork ribs, think we ordered like 5 of those!
---
Umm... Shrimp Chee Chong Fun .... umm, rice something?
---
Shrimp Dumplings.
---
Siew Mai ... These and the shrimp dumplings were ok, but I think I have tasted better ones ...---
Fried Tofu Skin with Shrimp. Yum .... the vinegar on the side made it taste even better!
---
Fried Calamari! This was great, always came out hot and crispy. A tad too salty but still a favourite.
---
Fried Shrimp Paste Covered Chicken Wings. I remember eating these a few mths back at another place and thought it just tasted like chicken wings. These? These u could taste the shrimp coating. Another thumbs up!
---
Char Siew (Roast Pork), Roast Duck and Chicken. The fave was the duck but we were only allowed to order the combination.
---
Sweet and Sour Chicken. Never a real fan of the sweet and sour family .... took a piece, tender meat, can't complain.---
Umm, Salmon Fish Head something .... Don't really like it, maybe cos I just had salmon soup for the past few days ...
---
BBQ Pork Bun. My mom wanted to order these and sneak them into her bag but my bro forbid her to do it. My mom loves to "takeaway" when she goes for buffets just so she will get her $ worth. Anyway, we ate it, refused to let her get thrown in jail on her bday .. haha
---
Ok, remember how I told u we were not allowed to order just the duck alone? Well, my mom being the AUNTIE of all aunties found one waiter that took her order. But when it didn't come after awhile, she hunted down EVERYONE working there for it, whom then proceed to tell her that it's not allowed .... well, of cos she said "There, that guy said I could!" Great, there goes that poor guy's job.
---
Stir Fried Cabbage.
---
Last but not least ... my sis's fave dish - Spinach with Fried Garlic. Just spinach blanched in chicken broth but the broth was yummy and the veggies just seemed to melt in our mouths. Guess how many my sis had??
We order 2 which basically everyone shared, then my sis proceeded to order TWO more!!!
---
Here's her on her 2nd PERSONAL plate of veggies ... this is after we had eaten everything u see before (there were many repeat orders in case u guys were wondering) Really full, cannot take it anymore, however, she she was a fighter and managed to finish ALL the veggies u see left but just could not stomach the broth...
GOOD JOB! Haha :)
On to dessert!
---
Red Bean Soup. Too sweet for me but my sis and mom loved it.
---
Lotus Bean bun with Salted Egg Yolk.
---
On the left was Ice Cream Puff and on the right, Black Sesame Glutinous Rice Balls.
---
Egg Tart.
OMG, we were SO STUFFED!! We decided to go do a little grocery shopping, walk off a little of our meals b4 part 2 of our celebration. It was a surprise for our mom .....
We had ordered a cake from Coffee Bean. My sis told my mom that she had to meet someone to collect something ... which was ... TADA!
---
Her Coffee Cheesecake! Well, it is actually Cappuccino Cheesecake. It was really good, u can taste the coffee and it was moist. Don't remember Coffee Bean's cheesecake ever tasting this moist. It might have to do that we always get slices which have been exposed in the fridge for god knows how long ....
---
My mom making her wish ... pls strike 4D .... serious!
---
My sis and mom.
---
My bro and I with Mom :)
And wouldn't u know? My mom DID strike 4D that night ... $30 only thought. My mom was saying that she should have wished to have strike 1st prize! Sigh ... don't think it would have turn out that way if that was her wish ...
Don't be too greedy ....
BTW, in case anyone is interested, my mom was head to toe GRAY today :)
