Dad's 57th Birthday

Another birthday post again..... but I am one week late for this post on my dad's birthday.

3.3.1953

On the 3rd of March 2010, it was my dad's 57th birthday. We celebrated it on 27th February, 4 days earlier with close friends and family. It's always to hardest to be away from my family when a birthday comes around. My dad loves family gathering, so we organize a steamboat dinner at my house instead of eating outside. In attendance, we had my dad's family.

We'd had a lovely day and it is important to recognize that family would never be where we are if not for the sacrifices of our parents. That explained why I went back home when Chinese New Year celebration almost ended.

Answer is .....

I can have double celebrations with my family, "Chap Goh Meh" and "my dad's Birthday"


My mom prepared all the steamboat ingredients, thanks a lot!

my mother made chicken foot soup for the steamboat soup base
