Celebrating a Dear Friend's Birthday

Today is my dear friend Min's 33rd birthday and she doesn't look a day over 20. Min and I have grow to be as close as sisters over the past year and a half and since she is such a wonderful and giving person we spent the whole weekend celebrating with her. Friday night Sarah, Simon, Danny, Min, Kevin, Harrison and I went for a meal at Loch Fyne which is a chain of seafood restaurants that brings in freshly caught salmon and other fish from Scotland (usually caught in the past 24 hours). We had a wonderful time getting to enjoy each other and some really great food. I have the Smoked Fish Pie which was A-mazing!!! ( I must get the recipe)

Tonight we all again went over to Danny and Min's house for Mr. Wong's Famous Cooking. Danny kicked Min out of the kitchen tonight and made us all a feast that rivals any fine Chinese restaurant in the States. We got deep fried prawns, satay chicken skewers, spring rolls, Japanese curry, and wonderful desserts. We also got Min one of those funny cakes with her picture on it...actually it was a picture of her and her twin sister Wendy! We got Min a mini muffin tin with a tart press which many of you might think, what kind of gift is that, but this girl has been having so much fun trying new desserts and sweets that I had to get her a new toy.  In Singapore they don't typically have ovens to bake in since, number 1 it's too darn hot there to cook in an oven, and secondly, it's a whole ton cheaper to just eat out than it is to make your own meals at home...seriously they told us this.   Hope you had a wonderful birthday Min, we had a great time celebrating with you.
