Dinner with the folks
Had dinner with my mum and pa at the Dining Room at the Raffles Town Club to celebrate my mum's belated birthday (almost 3 weeks late). And we really had quite a big spread and a time of our lives. Dinner was a 4-course set dinner, with cold appetizer, choice of hot appetizer or soup, main course and desert. Cold appetizer was smoked salmon with mix salad veg. I had the soup next, which was cream of asparagus, whilst the hubbs had the hot appetizer, which was pan-fried cod fish served with baby spinach. For the main course, I took the tiger prawns served in mango butter sauce, whilst the hubbs had leg of lamb. We also ordered extra oysters as extra. Bread was free flow throughout and we had two baskets of those. Finally when desert came, only then did I remember that I had forgotten to take photos! Duh...
Anyway, caught up quite a fair bit with my parents. And told stupid jokes, ones that I had heard from my colleagues. Their favourite was this:
Q: How did the matchstick injure himself?
A: He scratched his head and ta-ba-bom! His head caught fire!
Q: What did the matchstick turn into when he got to the hospital?
A: A cotton bud.
My parents loved the joke so much, my mum told my dad to use it next time when entertaining.
Anywayz, after desert was coffee and some chocolate cream pralines, and then it was time to head home. We made plans to go marketing tomorrow together with mummy to learn how to pick good meats and basically stock up our fridge. :) Am also looking forward to trying my hands on some baking tomorrow, so we shall be shopping for ingredients along the way. Crossing my fingers in hopes that I won't blow the kitchen up.
Now time to spend some quality time with my furry four-legged friend, Kenshin, who is staying the night.
