Yeh Yeh's birthday at Oriental Kitchen

There are lotsa Oriental restaurants around, some are from the same group, like Oriental Banquet and Oriental Pavillion (both in PJ), and some are independent like Oriental Cravings, and this newly opened Oriental Kitchen located at The Strand, Kota Damansara.

Last Sunday we celebrated early Yeh Yeh's 58th birthday at Oriental Kitchen.

Some of you may notice from my blog that I don't really do food reviews but this post will be an exception. Ma Ma and Yeh Yeh discovered this restaurant themselves (it is opposite The Wok - a nyonya restaurant) and met with the nice, young entrepreness named Erica weeks before and because Vic and Will have some food allergies, I have been liaising with Erica on the food menu.

She was very accomodating and after discussions with her chefs, recommended the whole 8 course menu. Here are some pictures, more food than human...

Wolfberries (gei ji in Cantonese) with spinach in chicken broth
Steamed fish in supreme soy sauce
Stewed pork knuckle
Smoked chicken (stewed in soy sauce and herbs, then smoked)
Kapitan sizzling hot plate prawns and squid
Crispy pumpkin - highly recommended.
Braised lala in superior soup
Paku belacan - very crunchy and cooked just perfect

Vic couldn't eat the cake, but she gladly offered her services, to cut the cake for Yeh Yeh. Here she is sitting on Yeh Yeh's lap, whilst brother William watches (and learn, I presume)

We wish Yeh Yeh many more years of God's blessing of good health and happiness. Truly, he is one great grandpa to the kids and a wonderful father and father-in-law.
