Birthday 2008

30th May 2008 ~ It was a "Sex and The City" night. Out on the 30th May! Exactly right for the occassion!

As expected, most of the audience were women. And of course it was a really girly movie. And I really really like it!

I'd say men would never know how to appreciate it, but it's a good potrayal of urban women dwellers trying to make the words Love and Life in the city works.

Aww and Carrie's dresses were so beautiful! Many said it was an overrated movie, and just another SATC series. Although I can't justify the fact, I can only say it is either you love it or hate it. And I Love it!.

Now tempted to buy the whole set of six seasons of SATC !!!

31st May 2008 ~ There is always a reason to pamper myself a lil and reward myself with a delicous and scrumptious meal in a Michelin star restaurant. The reason: my 26th birthday, went to Hakkasan (ref: Matthew Fort on Hakkasan) , the only current Chinese Restaurant with Michelin star rating.

Having only 6.30pm and 9.45pm bookings, we went for the half six one. Really nice decor, dimly lit decorated with black wooden frames and furnitures. Food wise, we ordered the dim sum platter which comes with eight variety of siu mai and har gau, the roasted duck with mango sauce and pork dumplings. The duck was really good! The meat is just tender and soft. I really mean it! haha. Main courses, the stir fry oystrich with yellow bean sauce was the best. The roasted silver cod with champagne sauce was nice too. And they also do Zai Choi (vege), the Monk Vegetables with beancurd was also yummy! We ordered a few other dishes: the jasmine tea smoked chicken (it was nice but can't really taste the jasmine tea, it taste more like soya sauce chic to me), a pork belly dish (think it was the Hakka stew) and a simple garlic stir fried morning glory.

All in all the food was distinctly high quality. Considering we had two rounds of cocktails plus the yummy food, and the bill came to around £50 per person, it was a reasonably good experience. Being sort of a birthday bash thingy, would really like to thank Yi fei, Annie, Jun Jhen, Carman, Holly for the lovely pressies and also Freddy for the gorgeous cake :).

The table was meant to be booked for 2 hours. Although it got quite busy around 8 to 9, they didn't chase us out, and we stayed till around half 9 before leaving to AKA/The End clubbing.

p.s. More Pics...The only down side of AY's restaurants are the no photo policy. I really think it is completely unnecessary! Although we took 2 *grin*
