Happy Birthday, MUM!

24th July 2009 marks the day my mum turns one year older.



I guess the upcoming trip to Europe will be the best birthday present she has had.

I came home from uni, and my mum and bro were in the kitchen preparing dinner.
Since it was mum's birthday, she decided to make some special dishes.

We had three dishes:
1) Home-made char siew.




There's something good about eating home-cooked char siew. It feels less fatty and not as sweet as the ones sld outside. We can also have it still hot and crispy .

2) Fishes

Well, it looks like a fish but it is actually not made of fish. It is made of shrimp with green peas as the eyes, and red pouty cili padi lips :)





It was definitely too cute to be eaten ;)

Lastly,
3) Bees


Just like the fish, NO, we didn't have bees for dinner. It is actually made of squid, seaweed as the stripes and almonds as the wings, plus chili padi eyes =)


Below is how it look like before it was tossed with peanut.

Looks icky....but it was good after it was cooked.

Sometimes it looks like a hamster or mice too O_o

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MUMMY!
