A Simple Dinner for 50th Birthday...


My 50th Birthday Dinner with Job, Dante, Rosemir and Gloria...

"Happy Birthday on Monday, Faith!! Thank God, you do not look 50 at all :))" Now I wonder what 50 supposed to look like...

Yep, I turned golden girl today. Half a century old... I was considering a birthday party of 50 guests but changed my mind. I have done parties in the past. I think I just want a good dinner for my birthday this year.

I invited 15 friends and was aiming for a table of 8 to 10 people at Hai Shin Lou. The result is that there were only 5 of us. Oh well... What to expect... last minute invitations and Monday evening in Makati.

At first, I planned dinner at Cafe Juanita but last Friday's dinner at Hai Shin Lou was so enjoyable, I wanted to share it to people who I thought might also enjoy the dining experience.

Rosemir, a dear friend who saw me through life...
Job, my youngest brother...
Dante, Job's friend, considered by my late dad as an adopted son...
Gloria, a new client whose personality brightens up a day. :)

5 people... 5 dishes... Approx. USD100 Dinner... Thumbs up!
Rosemir did the selection.

Steamed Shrimps...

Roasted Chicken with hoisin sauce...
Tofu Pork Belly hotpot with mushroom & vegetables...
Geoduck with rice noodles...
Seafood Birthday Noodles!
New Dessert: Tapioca, Mango, Lychee in Coconut Milk

Thank you God for a nice evening, a great meal and positive people around. Happy Birthday to me... I am happy. :)
