It’s not often that one has the privilege of celebrating birthday twice within a year. This year, I was given such rare treatment, first in Perth and then in Singapore.
Well before the pre-birthday celebration in Perth, my grandson had been telling me that he would take me to eat in “The Last Drop”. Indeed, this pub and brewery serves good food and each dish is served with exceptional quantity. We had a very sumptuous dinner of pork knuckle, chilli mussels and German sausages. The dinner ended with the staff bringing out a birthday cake and serenading the birthday boy with the “Happy Birthday Song”.
That celebration surely will be remembered for a very long time…..

For the celebration in Singapore, we were taken to The Candlenut at Dorsett Hotel. We were treated with a unique dining experience of Peranakan or nyonya food. The chef besides his emphasis in originality, also puts in special effort in the presentation of every dish. Unfortunately, Jun Shi could not join us for such great meal.
No birthday celebration is complete without pieces of cake and a candle.
Starter: Kueh pie tee, warm minced pork relish, grilled spiced marinated satay and tumbuk prawn.
Chap chye braised cabbage and grilled king tiger prawn.
Rawson soup of beef cheek and wok-fried spicy baby squid.
Braised pork belly and Candlenut’s signature cendol.
We took advantage of our trip to Singapore to buy a pair of rings to commemorate our 37th wedding anniversary.
