Food Galore..

After 2 weeks of “home quarantined” because of Code Red. The Tan family finally meets altogether over this weekend for Food GALORE.

On Saturday night, dinner was at Sze Chuan Court at Swissotel the Stamford. Food ordered – Scallop soup, French Beans fried the Sze Chuan way, Cod Fish (per person), fried Seafood “mian sian” and last but not least the time-honoured favourite, Szechuan Smoked Duck with Camphor Wood and Tea Leaves. We had red wine with dinner as Mother-in-law has some hotel vouchers as she bought the membership. What a treat and we really enjoyed the dinner.

Adrian missed this dinner as he had his own group dinner with his colleagues at the renowned Uncle Leong Crab in Ang Mo Kio. Heard he said that his colleagues preferred Mellben to Uncle Leong. He was planning to book Mellben but they don’t allow RSVP for weekends so they have to settle for Uncle Leong. They were a group of 13 guys.

On Sunday night, we officially celebrated Mother’s Day dinner at 716 since all of us were available. What can be better than HOME-COOKED meal on such occasion? I dread to eat out on Mother’s day, mainly is most restaurants will be packed and also the prices of food will be jetted up. Since all the family members are agreeable to the idea.

I believed that our decision was WISE…hee : P

Louis was very kind to go Tekka market to buy beef and salmon to cook for dinner. And as usual, our Master Chef aka Eve marinated the beef till it was so marvelious and the salmons were also very nicely pan fried by Louis…Yummy!! Terence and Cherry bought Otahs and Ice-Cream. Aces family contributed a Bread talk cake.

It was a relaxing and enjoyable dinner. We had Salad, beef, salmon, otahs and soup. Of course, not forgetting a bottle of good Red wine, dessert was cake with Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

Both Anthea and Anders were busy watching VCD’s and playing with the toys in “nai nai’ house after their dinner. Also our little niece, Faith, was keeping the family members busy with her “talking and wanting to walk”. But being home based, it was more manageable with children and we get to spend quality time with Faith. It’s really hitting "4 birds with one stone".

I really had wonderful weekends of Food Galore and we are always blessed with good food and good companionship, which we will not take for granted.

Happy Mother's Day to all the 伟大 媽 媽 !!
