Tita Portia and I had lunch at Lili, Hyatt Hotel. We had the dim sum buffet, our favorite. She asked me where I wanted to have my birthday treat. I was thinking of Passion at Resortsworld but I have not tried it yet, so I just stuck with something I am more familiar.
They gave us a card and we wrote down the number of pieces we liked. They did not let it sit on counters or carts because everything was made after placing our orders. It was a long list!
Roasted Pork Belly - crunchy skin and tender meat.
Steamed Dumpling, Shanghai style (sio long bao)
I just tried one steamed fish dumpling.
Hakao
Deep Fried Sichuan dumplings
Steamed Pork and Shrimps Sio Mai with Quail Eggs

I did not over eat this time! Just mostly the steamed dim sum. Hahahaha I know ... the food seemed a lot but believe me... I used to eat more!!! But now I know how to control... well ... as much as I could. I do not like eating fried and greasy food. My stomach is not used to it.... anymore.
This birthday treat was my celebration with Tita Portia.
Yesterday, I celebrated with my nephew, Renzo, who is five years old and my niece, Soph, who is 12. Celine and Mona were also with us. It was a "kiddie" birthday party. A simple one but delicious just the same.
My friend, Tin, has been cooking my Children's Sweet Spaghetti http://liasfoodjourney.blogspot.com/2010/03/ben-10-party-of-renzo.html and I also wanted to make my own. The menu was really for a kid's party.
A simple affair of Spaghetti
Hotdogs with Marshmallows
Selecta Rocky Road ice cream and
Cake - Barangay Bel-Air gave me a small Costa Brava Caramel Cake
Hahaha My kind of food. I love attending children's parties more than adults parties. It brings out the child in me.
It was so much fun celebrating my birthday almost everyday with special people I love. My friends would greet me in FB all the time... one even sent me an email and asked: Lia, when is real your "birthday"???? Hahaha I accepted the greetings and thanked my friends even if it was not yet August 28 because it was Happy Birthday Lia Everyday!!!
