mother's day 2008 母亲节

2008年的母亲节很特别。
今年除了把妈妈的农历生日，和外甥的阳历生日放在一起庆祝以外，
也邀请了外甥的女朋友，妈妈的朋友：刘牧师和她83岁的母亲一起和我们一起庆祝！

婆婆今年从香港飞过来新加坡探望女儿，由于年事已高，可能下一次。。。都不知道什么时候可以相聚呢。

婆婆只会说客家话，刚好来到新加坡朋友又不多，碰到我妈就特别开心！
因为可以在异乡找到同乡一起用客家话闲聊是多么开心的事情啊！

谁说佛教徒和基督教徒不能够一起庆祝啊？
今天我们不谈宗教，我们只管吃喝！哈哈。。。。

所有菜单是临时凑和的。因为之前我拟的菜单，因为很多材料都买不到而不得不作修改。幸好，还见得了人哟！

this year's, the mother's day celebration is very special.
apart from celebrating together with my mom lunar month birthday, my nephew 21st birthday.

this is also the 1st time guests are invited to join us on a happy occasions.

beside my nephew girlfriend, mag was invited, my mom's friend: pastor lau and her 83yo mother (we all address her as Po Po), specially flew over from Hong Kong to visit her daughter.
as po po's only verbal language is hakka, she was so happy to make friend with my mom.
cos my mom is the only one who can speaks hakka in the senior group gathering.

po po is old and she told us, she don't feel comfortable taking plane to travel around. so we all also don't know when we will be meeting up again.

the dinner menus was actually planned way ahead getting all heads nods before i can start to cook! but still... a lot of ingredients are not available last minute so changes cannot be avoided! ha ha ha ha.... lucky enough, everyone is happy through out the homely dinner.

明氏寿面
用鸡汤稍微焖了事先油炸过的面线，材料由蛋白，鲜菇，蒜头。
面线因为油炸后才焖煮就不会湖成块状，吃的时候面条都是条条分明，
还多了油炸香味呢！

XM's Longivity Noodle

有点像宫保的宫保鸡丁
哈哈。。。从没有煮过宫保鸡丁。只是略微模仿它的味道。
我用了鸡腿肉，辣椒干，冬笋，马蹄，青红黄灯笼椒。
调味我加了辣豆瓣酱，香醋，糖，鸡精粉和少许老抽调色。

嗯。。少了蒜头，花椒和腰豆！
