Tao Yuan, A Third Time ♥ ♥

 

And here we are TaoYuan-ing again, exactly 30 days after Uncle Rolly’s birthday dinner.

 

The Oldies (guess which one is the celebrant tonight)

 

The not-yet-so-oldies-but-getting-there-soon

 

Aside from the mainstays at Tao Yuan (Hainanese chicken, Peking duck, suahe and laksa), I am thankful Donna orders different dishes tonight.

 

Birthday Miswa – so much tastier than regular birthday noodles

 

Assorted Appies – chasiu, suckling pig, soya goose, century egg, five-spice beef, jellyfish

 

Suahe – fresh and sweet as always

 

Our very own suahe peelers (hehe)

 

Peking Ducks

 

Peking duck skin and meat. And Donna’s fingers caught in the act!

 

Hainanese Chicken

 

Laksa – excellent as always

 

Spinach Soup

 

Assorted Seafood in Golden Taro Bowl

 

Minced Duck and Lettuce Leaf

 

Twin Mango Lapu-Lapu

 

Chilled Mango Sago

 

Chrysanthemum Jelly and Coconut Sesame Balls

 

The giveaways: Lock & Lock water bottles filled with candies and chocolates.
I open mine up and gorge on the KitKat Chunky right away. Yumm-eeeeyyy.

 

Look at Hearty all dressed up

 

Pacita’s Mocha Cake, Hizon’s Chocolate Cake, Diamond Hotel’s Baked Cheesecake

 

Eternal Flame? (Hihihi!)

 

The Pascual Family, missing Paul, Ritchie, and Johann
Happy Birthday, Auntie Kiddie!
