Birthday Seafood Makan
When asked what I wanted to eat for my birthday last week, I immediately said “Chili crabs”. My mum makes the best chili crabs and I’d be a fool to pass up a chance to have her make it for me. I was not greedy and only wanted crabs but somehow the menu grew and became an 8-course meal. A lucky number indeed!
There was chili crab, curry crab, cereal prawns (thanks to C who sent cereal seasoning from SG), stir fried yu choy, black bean mussels, seared scallops, tofu fish cake and 饅頭 (man tou/steamed buns).
My sis in law baked me a delicious blueberry birthday cake. It was perfect chiffon cake, impeccably frosted and decorated.
I definitely counted my blessings and look forward to a wonderful year ahead!

Happy Belated Birthday, Stef!
So sorry I missed your birthday Stef. Many happy returns. How wonderful that Mike could be home. Your dinner looks very yummy. Pardon me while I just sit and look for a while….I’ll try not to drool too much.
Wow!What a nasty seafood feast! Your mum’s chilli crab looks exactly the way I like it to be done. Any pics of cereal prawns?
Happy (slightly belated) birthday, Stef! Hope you’re enjoying your week (why limit the celebration to just one day?).
Happy Birthday! Sounds like a wonderful meal.
Happy Belated Birthday! And what a lucky lady you were to have such a wonderful birthday feast!
Chili crabs and blueberry cake. How nostalgic of our childhood days.
Happy Belated Birthday!
All I can say is the dinner was scrumptious!
