Birthday Dinner

Last week, we celebrated my birthday by having dinner at Soup Restaurant. It was a quiet affair, just the 3 of us. The food was scrumptious though the bill came up to about $50. Looks like we can only afford to go there on special occasions. Husband and I used to go there occasionally to have dinner before Ying Ying came along. Now that I am not earning, I do feel the pinch. :/

A lovely cake from Four Leaves

We gotten this birthday cake the night before my birthday. We had originally planned to cut at the stroke of midnight but husband had dozed off by then. So we did it the morning after. After eating like 3/4 (!) of it, I must say the cake looked better than it tasted. Its vanilla sponge was only so-so, not something I would rave about. I will definitely get a different cake for Ying Ying's birthday next month. Hopefully, it will taste better than this one! :)
