Cousin's Half a Decade Birthday

My cousin did not wanna celebrate his half century but his mum insisted and won. So I skipped Life Group and attended his dinner celebration at May Flower Restaurant.




There were six adults and two children on our table. Therefore we had more than enough to eat.



The two children had two of these Longevity Buns each while we adults had one each.




This following piece of duck was incredibly yummy. I wished that I could have some more.



Most people refrained from having too many cuttlefish in the Five Hot and Cold Combinations Dish and therefore I finished almost all the leftovers.




We could have drunk four bowls of Braised Shark Fin's Soup with Crab Meat each but I only had two bowls.


The Steamed Fish was supposed to arrive before the Stewed Pork Knuckles with Brown Sauce but the captain said that the chef was not pleased with the result and therefore he was preparing another fish for us. This was the first time I heard of such good service as normally any restaurants would wanna save cost no matter what was the result. I only had the veges in this dish.


This Steamed Grouper with Soy Sauce was very fresh and I ate both of the sides, very big pieces.



This Steamed Dumpling with Scallop is basically ‘Yong Taufu’ with a thin slice of scallop and a dash of fish roe on top.



This Steamed Village Chicken with Salt and Herbs was unfortunately too salty so we all had a piece each and left it at that. The price of salt must have gone down or the chef forgot that he had put salt inside and put another time.



This Stir-Fried French Beans with Garlic was very crunchy.

I drank six half glasses of Lindeman’s wine.




The food in this restaurant had improved tremendously. One of the co-owners is our long distance relative through marriage. He and his partners sent two chefs to Hong Kong for training last year and therefore they are putting into practice their learned skills.


Thumbs up for a great meal, except for the Chicken.
