Usually we are lazy to leave the house on Sundays, but this week is an exception. Coz che-che and I came back around 3+pm on Saturday, we were so tired and needed a shower badly. And the moment after we shower, nobody likes to leave the house 🤣.
Our celebrations are usually quiet affairs, no big booha or freaking expensive meals. No way I was going to pay $200++ per head for a meal. But the birthday boy/gal gets to choose what they want to eat. But when the girls’ get older somehow the adults' choice also became the girls' choice as the adults aren't so fussy over food.
No pressies except when it's for the girls. Of course when they were younger, gifts and the thrill of tearing the wrappers and squealing in delight made the girls remember their kiddy days. As they grew older, there's no such thing as buying presents coz 我们什么都不缺. On a daily basis, the girls may suddenly in the month of May say they need a laptop replacement (for eg.) or whatever we get it for them. Clothes, shoes we buy it anytime not just buying it for the sake of buying something for birthday. As perse, that's why we don't give christmas presents too. The more practical thing to give now is angpow. We give the girls angpow for birthdays, nothing for christmas. The man and I don't give each other present for the reason that I'm not earning any money so it's dumb to give him present from his own money (aka left pocket go to right pocket), hubby gave me a supplementary card so technically if I want to buy anything I can just swipe his credit card which I hardly. He will approve coz I hardly spend his money on self. Which woman wouldn't covet for a branded bag? I do, but ..... I think that requires another blog post on my stand for this.
Today, che-che and I were just so full coz we ate the warabimochi we bought the previous day. So when lil' one, the messenger, asked me what I wanted to eat. Hubby will always let me have a chance at chilli crab on my birthdays coz he knows I love chilli crabs (however in recent trips, I noticed lil' one likes it so I peeled and gave her more than for myself.) Hubby suggested seafood but we were full so I decided to go somewhere near - Royal Host.
Usually there’s always a long queue whenever we walk past this restaurant, strangely it wasn't today. We ordered 2 soups and 2 mains. Added one dessert to share. I saw the bill later - $116.55. Told hubby it's not worth it for the amount of food we had, he agreed. Well at least we tried it and won't go back anymore. I feel Joyfull has more choices and price is reasonable. Did I mention that che-che love Joyfull's matcha latte, which I always have to remind her to drink sparingly so she wouldn't fill up her tummy too fast for lunch.
Royal Host, coincidentally is from Fukuoka, a place I love. I kindda miss FUK and want to go there this year again 😂.
