dinner with the family

had dinner with the family last thursday since my sis was back home
we were also late as there was a massive jam right outside the factory.. really sucked...!!!
anyway the menu was..
-lotus leave rice (huge portion with mushrooms and sliced chinese sausages...)
-4 seasons with braised chicken, fancy springrolls with salted egg, and dumpling, etc
-shark fin soup with crabmeat and jellyfish i guess
-suckling pig, supposed to eat only the yummy crispy skin.
-deep fried chilli prawns, 2 variety ( may fav dish of the whole meal...)
-mixed veg with abalone (not my favourite and i dont really like abalone, though its expensive as heck...)
-warm "longan" soup with lotus paste pancake

some of the food may sound exotic and weird but its quite normal where we're at.. and some of them quite expensive as well..
the menu was actually for 10 but we were only 7.. we were practically stuffed by the time the 5 course came out. i believe everyone was very happy with the food.
overall dinner was a perfect 10 and i'm definitely going back to that restaurant next time, if ever..

by the way, my sis quit her job last week but she did not tell the family as she doesnt want them to worry.
and thefamily always worries way way too much... really...
well, shes going for a few interviews this week so i'm not very worried.
