how we celebrated mother’s day

When we woke up on Sunday, hubs asked me what I wanted to have for dinner.  I told him that I would like to have Japanese food 😀  When we were deciding which restaurant to go too, I received a call from my mom and she told us that my cousin, Carla is giving us a treat since her family is in KL for a visit.  Another cousin is back from the States too so all of us were treated to a dinner at Dragon-I in Mid Valley on Mother’s Day 😉  The restaurant was so crowded and we had to wait for our tables eventhough my cousin had made reservations.  We finally got to eat at 8.30pm.  It was an 8-course dinner and I forgot to snap pictures of the first four dishes *slap forehead*  Here are what we had towards the end of the dinner.


Aromatic spiced oven roasted duck served with pancakes, leeks, cucumber and a sweet hoi sin sauce


A huge bowl of pork knuckles


Little fried paus.  Have to dip them in the pork knuckles sauce


Little “sau toh” with red bean fillings


Aloe vera with jasmine and wolfberries for dessert

We left the restaurant at around 10.30pm……way past Ashley’s bedtime.  She was pretty tired at around 9.30pm and kept asking us to leave 🙂 Luckily she did not make a big fuss and her aunts are around to keep her entertained 🙂  It was a good and heavy dinner.
