Happy 3rd Birthday Jolie Part 1

It's Jolie's 3rd birthday today! We always planned a party for Jolie's birthday. This year Miss CoCo was feeling rather lazy, given that Chinese New Year had just passed. So, I've decided to give the big birthday party a miss and instead, go for a family-only celebration.

We booked a table for lunch at New Ubin Seafood Restaurant, one of our favourite places! As usual, Bro was late driving my parents there, so we took some photos to entertain ourselves while we waited.

Finally they arrived after 20mins. And Bro gave Jolie her birthday present. He gave her a book, Oliver Twist. O_o

I think it would take another 3 years before she can read that book. Besides, it's so boring, I don't think that she'll be interested to read it even if she can. Anyway, he said that it's better than buying another toy, which I agree. So, thanks Bro!

I was so hungry! Thankfully the food came quickly and we all dug in. I think everyone agreed that the highlight was the crabs, and the best tasting one was the butter cream one.

It sounds oily and heavy, so MIL didn't even take a bite. But it was actually super duper nice. It's got a buttery fragrance together with curry leaves, and they added chilli padi to give it kick as well as balance, so that the dish wouldn't taste too heavy or oily. Geninus. When the fried mantou came, everyone was mopping up the butter cream crab sauce rather than the chilli crab sauce! YUMS!

I think we ordered too much food, but even so, we finished everything! It was a great feast. For dessert, we brought out the cake Cobby bought for Jolie!

Jolie looking very pleased with herself after she cut the cake. Can you see the anticipation on her face?

Yummy yummy black forest cake!

Jolie was enjoying her whipped cream when her naughty Kaufu tried to steal her cream! But Jojo was fast enough!

Ang paos from Jolie's grandma and aunt. I thought their well wishes were very sweet!

The meal was very enjoyable, unfortunately Cobby had to go to work after lunch. Sucks man, but what to do? So we headed to my MIL's place and let Jo take her nap there. I think we ate too much, cause Jo, me and even my sister-in-law fell asleep pretty quickly. Haha...

For dinner MIL, SIL, Jo and I went to the central to have a simple dinner and went back with a new toy.

Well, it is her birthday. :) Happy Birthday Jolie!
