Gwama’s Vegetarian Birthday at Savory Escolta

And this is why I need a walk-in closet-full of red clothes.

Just in the last 22 days, we wore red for New Year’s Eve, Auntie Kiddie’s Birthday and Mom’s Birthday. And today it’s Gwama’s Birthday. And then it will be Chinese New Year in a few days and then Valentine’s!

Red, Red, Red.

(Just kidding about Valentine’s. I wear black on that day to create illusion of thin. Ha!)

 

My Gwama at 83. Still healthy, still happy, and still very groovy!
Even her picture is wearing red!

 

Fatterside cousins in red

 

Birthday cake in red

 

Even Hearty is in red!

 

Every year on Gwama’s birthday, we go vegetarian. I don’t know why because she loves meat. You won’t find these dishes in Savory’s menu. They’re only for us, Savory babies.

 

Vegetarian Birthday Noodles (of course the quail eggs are red)

 

Vegetarian Appetizer Platter: Sausage, Spam, Fish Cakes, Tofu Slices, California Maki

 

髮菜湯 or “Hair Vegetable Soup”
(Not real hair, of course. Eeeww?!?!)

 

Mashed Taro in Sweet Cream

 

Vegetarian Ham and Pineapple with Toast

 

Vegetarian Minced Duck with Peanuts and Lettuce

 

Vegetarian Chicken Nuggets

 

Vegetarian Sweet and Sour Fish

 

Birthday Buns. Aren’t these babies the absolute cutest?

 

Almond Jelly with Fruit Cocktail

 

I get all excited when it’s time to blow the cake because after that we can pull out the
fortune ribbons
