Birthday!!!

Aside from the stressful week that was, last weekend was awesome, it was my birthday! It was a nice and simple celebration.

Dinner at Letoile
My sis and my birthdays are within a week of each other…with a few years difference of course :P Two weeks ago, before either of our birthdays, the four of us (my sisters, sister’s boyfriend and myself) had dinner out at Letoile in Paddington to mark the occasion. It was delicious :D

Here is a list of what we ordered;

• First course/Entrees: twice baked cheese soufflé, snails and duck terrine and salad whose name I can’t remember,


• Main: Mulloway with baby veg and red wine sauce and, confit duck with beans beef (can’t remember the cut) with roquefort sauce


• Desserts: apple tart tatin. crème brulee, strawberry bavarois, and a poached pear dish with chocolate sauce.

Before dessert we also got a shotglass filled with watermelon flavoured granita. It was very refreshing

I really didn’t need dessert as I was already so full, but it’s dessert! So I had to make room for it. Everyone got 3 courses :)

We also saw there…Manu!! It was very exciting; He kindly agreed to a photo with us at the end of our meal :D

We also had dinner at my sister’s on my actual birthday and last Sunday, we went out for a Thai dinner with my uncle as well. So, very food orientated, but that’s the way I like it :D

What is a birthday these days without cake? This year, I was spoilt rotten and got not one, not two, but THREE cakes!!



Hello Kitty cake!
This one from my sisters: I love Hello Kitty so it was awesome to get a Hello Kitty cake for my birthday!!! It was the lightest cake out of the three. Layered sponge cake with cream. There is also a layer of white chocolate underneath the strawberries.

This one was from my uncle. It was so rich! 8 layers of chocolate, caramel, biscuit goodness!! Just looking at it we all knew it was going to be a dense, rich cake! Very small slices were cut.

More chocolate cake! Chocolate cake layered with ganache. This one from my housemate, how good is ganache?

I also got a new bag . It’s real leather and comes with a rose decoration;My personal favourite part about this bag aside from the multitude of pockets held within is that there is a little strap inside with a clip that connects to your keys, I shall never have to scrounge around for my keys again!!
