July Birthday Stars

After Clet's birthday on 13th July, here we are celebrating the birthdays of SILs, Kim & Precilla, at the Wong Kwok Restaurant yesterday night, their birthdays are only one day apart from each other; Kim's birthday is on 21st July while Precilla's is on 22nd July. We have the great pleasure to be invited to join in the celebrations, a big thank you to our dear nephew, Jeremiah and SIL, Rosalind for the fabulous dinner, and of course her home baked black forest and carrot cheese cake. Jeremiah was back here for a short stay and flew back to Australia on Tuesday morning, we only got to see him once or twice a year.

Like usual, the kids were running around in the restaurant after dinner, luckily there was only us occupying the whole ground floor of the restaurant. The food were so delicious that made us so hungry to even forgot about taking some photos of the dishes.

When Crystal saw the photos today she said, hmmm, mummy I love the cake, it's delicious. She finished two slices of the black forest fresh cream cake yesterday night. Pearl only picked the cheese layer of the carrot cheese cake, she is a cheesy girl.

Cup Cakes for the weekend

After seeing and tasting so many of SIL's chicken cup cakes, I gave it a try to make some pork cup cakes last Saturday. I used the sponge cake mix for the cake and it turned out that the texture of the cup cake is too fluffy and the filling is too little. There were still plenty of pork stuffing left that we finished it off with porridge and rice for lunch and dinner. Wrong estimation but no wastage.

FLOOD IN THE CITY

Like most afternoons, the rain started pouring down in Kota Kinabalu yesterday. Without realising the water level had gone up just before the sky turned dark. Most car owners have already moved their cars to a higher ground to avoid any possible occurrence of flood. Clet did the same too. On the way he took some photos of the flood scenes near Merdeka Supermarket and Lido where it used to be frequent flood hit area. Luckily the rain started to slow down around 7.30pm that our car can be moved back home again.
