My Sexy Baby birthday Gift (Week 13)

My Sexy baby Darling is approaching her birthday soon on the 6 Dec and the gift is due. Haha.
Well, we had a combined birthday celebration with her mother at Imperial Treasure SUPER PEKING DUCK @ Paragon. Finally get to eat a genuine Peking Duck outside Beijing!

The one on the right is my Darling and the shy shy girl on the left is her big sis Val. Haha, she’s so camera shy!
The appetiser of honey-glazed cashew with sesame seeds was great! We finished 2 plates in no time! Haha, the benefit of arriving early!
When the rest of the pack finally arrived 45 minutes later, the culinary adventure begins!
First was the roast meat, which is almost heavenly! With so little fats, the meat almost melts in your mouth and the skin is SO SO cripsy! Eaten together with the mustard provided makes this an even greater dish. Mama was full of praise for this.
Next we had the double boiled chicken soup, which is full of flavour! and Surprisingly not oily at all!
Then we had the deep fried squid with prawn paste. Not too bad when eaten hot but can feel the oil when cold…

The person eating is Bryan, Val’s hubby.
Next is the arrival of our SUPER PEKING DUCK! This has to be ordered in advance ok!
The chef was carving out the skin and meat in front of us.

Then we had the Home made bean curd with spinach (Which finished before I could snap a pic), as well as the Broccoli with mushrooms and stewed E-Fu noodles. ALL YUMMY!
The last dish was the Cod Fish with black fungus, unique dish which actually tastes quite good too!

What’s a birthday celebration without the cake?
I ordered a Red Velvet cake from “Cake Literally”. Mixed reviews on the cake but I feel that it tastes quite nice when eaten together with the frosting.

The dinner costs $440 for 8 pax, reasonable price for superb food, well worth it! But really have to place a reservation coz the queue was really long when we left the restaurant.

Home Sweet Home and I presented darling with her present.
This birthday gift was tricky… …
I wanted to get darling something practical, and since she has been complaining of aches and cramps, we have been looking at pregnancy pillows whenever we pass by Mothercare or similar shops but usually all we see are those pillow wedges, nothing comfy.
I scoured the net, looking at numerous reviews before shortlisting to these few choices…
There is the Comfort-U body pillow, the Leachco Snoogle pillow, the Dreamgenii maternity pillow and the Today’s Mom Cozy Comfort pillow.
My first choice was the Today’s Mom Cozy Comfort pillow! Found it on Amazon.com, only to realise that they do not ship to Singapore! WHY WHY WHY!!! Tried to order using eBay as well but can only find Comfort-U and still they do not provide shipment to Singapore. Tried to order through their official website but they do not ship outside USA. ARGH!!! Was going to give up after a few weeks of searching. Tried manipulating with different search terms, FINALLY!! The heaven do not disappoint those who work hard, AKA 皇天不负有心人, I found a Singapore company which actually imports these pillows and sell it here in Singapore!!
But they onnly have my second choice (Leachco Snoogle Total body pillow) and only in Ivory colour. Well, at least I found it!!
The delivery was arranged on the same day as the combined birthday dinner, hoping to give Darling a surprise when she gets home. =)
I guess she was surprised to find the pillow, but disappointed that it’s only a pillow. Sigh….hope I can make her happy with my choice of Restaurant for Darling’s Birthday Treat!!! (Fingers crossed…)
