We went to a Peranakan restaurant called "Ivin's" at Binjai Park. When we had settled down, suddenly Jaws turned to me and said, "This place reminds me of Bangkok". I totally agreed! It looks like our hotel, Samran Place! We got very nostalgic. It didn't help that both Jaws and me dreamed of Bangkok the night before.
Anyway, here's what we ordered! The portions were very small so we had to order many dishes.
The food was pretty alright; I am not a big fan of Peranakan food except for their Kueh-Kuehs. The company, on the other hand, made the dining experience excellent! I love having lunch with my Enemies on a Saturday afternoon! It was so cosy, warm and comfortable. =)
After the satisfying lunch, we went to my brother's friend's place for ICE-CREAMS! It was at King's Centre and the place is called "Swirl". Their Gelato ice-creams are SUPER good!! Especially their Peanut Butter ice-cream, Almond Longan ice-cream, Rum and Raisin ice-cream... I could go on and on.
And then it was cake-cutting time! This time, we had homemade cheesecake that was absolutely fabulous made by an expert pattissier. She is none other than ME! Haha!
Xiao Pang bought those blow-until-I-can-die-but-they-are-still-burning-candles for Birdie. Haha! We kept cheering her on and she really tried her best but those candles really worked. In the end, we had to douse the candles in a cup of water before the cake drowned in a pool of saliva.
The cake's texture turned out well but the cheese was a bit sour and "lime-ly". I think the reason is because I added too much lemon juice. And the stupid NTUC in Jurong Point didn't have those normal, yellow lemons. Instead, they had these Australia Lemon-LIME which was too "lime-ly". Haiz.. Spoilt the taste.
Pictures with the birthday girl.
Birdie wanted a drawer for her birthday which exceeds our budget. So, we gave her Ang Bao instead. But what's a birthday without presents?? Therefore, we gave her HELLO KITTY PANTIES!! Haha! Well, she is a big fan of Hello Kitty....
Smile lar, Birdie.. You know you love it! Hahaha!!

Xiao Pang brought Ah Bun her Christmas present. We exploded into laughter when we saw what she did for An Bun. Even the waiter burst out laughing! Haha!
Ah Bun kept saying she is Yue Niang in the "Little Nonya" tv show and so....
She got to be BUN-Niang!!! Hahahaha!

After that, we spent the rest of the afternoon playing Taboo which we borrowed from the ice-cream shop.
*Sigh happily* How I wish all my Saturdays are like that... =)
