Birthday dinner

 It was my birthday on Monday.  

Kids were still on school holiday while hubby took a day leave that day after his 2 nights fishing trip to recuperate. That evening, it was our very first dinner eatout since MCO.  The first dinner that I did not need to cook.  

It was my special day, so my man was treating me to a special dinner. Supposed to go to BBQ King Seafood in Stapok but it closed on Monday.  So we went to the next door shop, River Park Seafood. 


We reached there around 7pm, and the place wasn't so packed.  After browsing through the menu in the tablet, we ordered 6 dishes plus a fish that we brought from home. 

Don't ask me what fish was it, as I honestly don't know. Even after my man told me its Chinese name, I can't remember.  

So, after waited for about 15 minutes, our food finally arrived.  It was about time, as everyone was hungry by then. We don't usually eat that late at home.  Usually we have our dinner around 6pm.

Our first dish that came to our table was this huge oyster pancake, Kuching style. Crispy pancake, while the big, juicy oysters in the centre.  The hungry kids immediately tear and ate the pancake to start off the feast.

We ordered one vegetable dish that evening.  Stir-fried midin. 


Minced meat soft beancurd came next, which was the kids' favourite. I preferred to have salted fish in the mince but they did not have that.  The taste was not as flavourful without the salted fish but we did not mind the soft tofu.

Hubby ordered this mei cai kou rou (pork with preserved vegetable).  I did not find it tasty or anything to shout about.  I tasted nicer mei cai kou rou but this definitely not in my list.


They have soft shell crabs that evening, so we ordered 4 pieces (about 450g) to cook with marmite. Recommended by the waitress, it turned out surprisingly good but the marmite coating was slightly salty to my liking.

We hardly touched the deep fried lamb stick as we were full by then.  I tasted 2 small pieces of the lamb stick, it was juicy; not dry at all.  It has a spicy dipping to go with it, which accompanied the dish well. 
As for the fish that we brought, we had it steamed.  Ta-da!  Didn't it looked good??  Sweet, tasty and fresh.  It was very good. 

Everyone was full to the heart content.  We packed the lamb sticks and mei cai kou rou home for the next day, since we hardly touched both.  Our dinner costs RM183 exclusive of drinks.  Slightly on the pricey side, but the soft shell crabs was costly. Nevertheless, it was a lovely birthday dinner and everyone enjoyed the food and time.

Happy belated birthday to you. 6pm dinner is pretty early for us cause normally we have our dinner around 7pm. Nevertheless, the seafood dinner you and your family had look so delicious and yummy.
