Empurau Fish Dinner

We are fortunate that we went back Ipoh last weekend. We enjoy one of the most sought after fresh water fish called "Empurau". So far, Empurau is most expensive fish i have ever heard of. It can be sold as high as RM1000 per kg in East Malaysia restaurants. The species of this fish is only available in East Malaysia. It is expensive because it is so rare. The fish only consume fruits, flowers and plants as their food. I read about it in The Star paper somewhere last month.

I thought that i will be able to try out the taste of this fish in the next few months when in visit KK with my family and also my in-laws family, but, i am truly fortunate, that my family members bought it from somebody who send it over to us by MAS. Unbelievable!

We took the fish out to one of our family favorite restaurant and had it there. In' fact, my family already had one fish the day before at the same place, it is just that i requested that i wanna have the fish again when i back, they again, give in, dining at the same restaurant the next day. They are just too understanding and kind to me. Thank you so much!!!!!

Mothers' Day Celebration @ Ipoh & Malim Nawar

Celebration @ Malim Nawar

  Celebration @ Ipoh 

We went back Ipoh to celebrate Mothers' Day with our parents. We are having dinner with my in-laws family as well as my own family, to be fair to both family. Most of the time we celebrate any events by eating only! Carmen is the happiest person after all, she do not need to attend school in the first place, and she love it very much when we travel back to our hometown!

My BIL bought a cake for my MIL after the dinner, Carmen treat it as a Birthday cake for herself, she want candles to be light up, and she will blow the cake, and cut the cake as well. Carmen demanded that we all sing "Happy Birthday" song for her, i think, she still do not know the meaning of Mothers' Day. She only understand that the day is the birthday for all mommy, she thought it's my birthday instead, and she sings me a Birthday song! Haha....

Mothers' Day 2010

On Friday, the day before Mother's day weekend, Carmen came home from school with a few gifts to me. It's my first time receiving gifts for Mother's Day being a mother for 3 years already. I appreciate the teacher's effort to teach her to make the cute cup cake and also a heart shaped card for me. I liked it very much!

Jeanne's 1st Birthday @ 05.05.2010

The last minute bought Birthday cake : )

Jeanne's birthday present from us

Carmen is holding onto Jeanne....both also very excited to see the cake!

Seems like Jeanne's enjoying the cake very much!

It has been a year since Jeanne was born, i still remember the same day last year, i was admitted to hospital for c-sec, i was so nervous and scared as that was my first time having c-sec, while my first delivery is a normal delivery. One year since has gone, and Jeanne has grown up a lot.

I and hubby have to work on Jeanne's actual birth date. Therefore, we have to finish our work, fetch her from babysitter house, and go for a dinner nearby only. We went to Botanic Resort Club, very near to our housing area after we have our cake cutting ceremony at home. After the dinner, we sent Jeanne back to the babysitter house, i forget to give her the present i bought for her! *ALAMAK*
