Dad's 58th Birthday Celebration

Fussing over what to buy for dad for his birthday is always a challenge and we had to always crack our heads, literally! Ya we could have bought him a shirt, golf accessories, wallet, perfume, etc.....so boring and he has got all that already. Dad's love for food has transcended into the 3 of us in the family over the years, and so we thought "how about a nice family dinner" where food was going to be the focus! Yummy!

Chef Hiew at the Cherry Garden did a great job in impressing my family with the food. It was a six course meal that we didn't want to let it end. First course was a mini birthday bun and because we did not have a cake for dad that evening, we sang him his birthday song with the longevity buns. Oh the shark's fin was to die for, although I have had it before it was still mouth watering. It may look so simple and plain but the shark's fin bone soup is creamy and tasty, and not forgetting the "bottomless pit" of shark's fin that we had to scoop through. All shark conservationist, please shut your eyes...hee hee.
The food was so delicious that we ordered an additional portion of wasabi prawns...Chef must think we are gluttons! But who cares, we enjoyed. And of course, there was dessert. When it arrived all went "WOW"! You will see why, mango puree with lime sorbet and pomelo on a bowl of dry ice.......thanks Chef Hiew it was a dinner we will always remember.
