My dearest papa turned 25 yesterday! haha - just exchange the number's places!
We are so happy to celebrate it together with our dearest friends. Well, they're my friends which I consider my siblings, so they're basically my parents' sons and daughters as well. They also came with their kids, so we were able to spend time with my best's son, Navee... and my bff's daughters, Kramdel and Klivinzkaye. <3
We weren't able to celebrate it with grandma (papa's mother) and his brothers in person, but they celebrated it back in papa's hometown as well. We had video call and they also prepared food and beverages, so we could share and celebrate together despite the distance. :)
In this post, I'll be showing you some of the dishes we prepared for papa's special day! Let's start! ^^
It's sweet and sour fish. Mama cooked this dish, but I was assigned with the preparation like slicing and the like. I really like slicing veggies and since it's a special day, I manually designed it into flowers and hearts. My friends thought I used a special cutter like some molder, but nope... it's the power of our knife. haha Although I helped in the preparation, I can't eat this. If I eat fish, it makes my intestine and stomach upside-down which is unfortunate. They said it was delish... and I think the same.
Since there are some kids coming and we plan to share food to our neighbors, we also prepared fried chicken. When it comes to fried stuff, it's papa's specialty. I also really love papa's fried chicken. I remember my Japanese and Korean students enjoyed eating this when they used to come over on the weekends. :)
Eating something long during one's birthday is a must for a long life. haha Originally, mama and papa planned to cook pancit bam-i, but decided to make spaghetti instead. Aside from the fact that it's my favorite, we can easily cook pancit bam-i anytime we want because we already have some of the ingredients ready in our store. haha
It's the pork humba I shared last time.. It's the re-heated version, so the meat is much softer and the flavor is much more enhanced. After a day, it made the dish extra delicious. If you haven't checked yet, HERE IS THE RECIPE.
Here's for dessert! It's Red Ribbon's rainbow cake~!!! The rainbow cake is so spongy and the chocolate is so sweet... well, it's a bit too sweet for me, but the kids, my papa who has a sweet tooth and mama loves it. <3 No candles to blow because of COVID.. haha xDD
More desserts c/o my best friend and his family. He really never fails to bring a cake in any special occasion that we call him Cake Santa. haha This time though, he also brought some leche flan. <3 YUMMY~!!! I especially like this leche flan since it's not very sweet, so I can enjoy eating a lot. lol
Those were the foods we shared on the table last night. It was a blast. We also drank some red wine for the girls and as for the guys, papa, best, my bff's husband and my friend's papa, they had some light beer. It was a simple celebration, but we all had a great time!
I did mention earlier that we plan to give some food to our neighbors and also some take away for the visitors... here they are!
Mama and I prepared them beforehand so we could share our food to them.
Here's the celebrant in his matching outfit with Arashi. Happy birthday papa! We love you~!!! <3
Also, it's Arashi's birthday today! Yaaay~!!! So, it was like a double celebration last night... well, papa bought Arashi lots of snacks today, though... haha
I'll end my post here. Thanks a lot for checking it out and I hope you enjoyed the foods I've shared on this post! Until next time~! (_)/
