Birthday then and now


Me and my wife have been celebrating our children birthday with a cake every year since their first and our first cake shop is located on Jalan Bendahara, Tai Tee Cake Shop. Then as time goes by, we also try other shops like the Secret Recipe, Yee’s Cake, Saint Merry’s, Italy Cake Shop and even Nadeje. While our children blow the candles and make a wish, their grand-mum didn’t get a cake for us but they cooked red eggs cum vermicelli soup for the belief that we must eat as a “passport” to the next age.

We never ate hawker food or dine in any restaurant those days to celebrate birthdays and we didn’t have birthday party. Having read “The Right To Differ”, Lim Kit Siang would give his children a special treat like going to a movie, a dinner or a picnic. To keep up with time, we must change, we changed and we make a family a home.

After my wife has a facial by her Lancome beautician, she came to see me at the Coffeebean & Tea Leaf. Next we go to the Baker’s Cottage where “goodness is baked fresh from the heart” We happily take the 7-inch Nuts Bout Cherries where the chocolate sponge is layered with dark pitted cherries. The birthday boy proposed that his parents should try the Sarawakian noodles and per this link:

The Nuts Bout Cherries will be revealed at 12.00 midnight about one and half from now.
