• Ma-yee's Birthday

  
  

   

  
  

  On Saturday, my family went to Sea Harbour in Rosemead for dinner to celebrate my Mom's birthday.  I don't know what's up with the weird roosters they have flanking the outside doors, but I do know that their dim sum kicks some serious ass.  This was our first time there for a non-dim sum meal.

  
  

   

  
  

  The scene inside was pretty bustling as usual.  We started off with a tasty little broiled pigeon.  Not a lot of meat, but was really good nonetheless.

  
  

   

  
  

  On the left is our awesome shark fin soup with crab meat (DHS).  Red Vinegar is a definite must with this.  The chunks of crabmeat were quite huge.  On the right is a dish we didn't get but were considering.  It's hollowed out papaya with the shark fin soup in the middle.  I think ours was better though because there wasn't that much soup in the papaya version.

  
  

   

  
  

  On the left was the best dish of the night in my opinion.  Hong Kong style (deep fried with garlic and chili salt) Pacific lobster (Super DHS).  After that we had the sea cucumber with braised pork and jellyfish.

  
  

   

  
  

  Next, we had beef in brown vinegar sauce.  On the right was a pretty good vegetable dish with some sort of spongy bamboo product on top.

  
  

   

  
  

  We finished the main meal off with noodles which is a must in a Chinese birthday celebration to ensure long life.  On the right was a tasty complimentary dessert soup made of beans and chinese herbs.

  
  

   

  
  

  We ended with a yummy supplementary dessert of mango pudding.  Here's a pic of the family after dinner.

  
  

  

  
  

  Jober apparently didn't sleep well earlier in the day and was suffering by the end of the meal.
