Oct. 5th, 2009 @ 08:49 pm Birthday dinner at Straits last night
Tags: , ,
We finished watching our DVD of Ratatouille Saturday night. It was the perfect thing to see before visiting Straits Cafe, a marvelous and amazing restaurant specializing in Singaporean cuisine. They are more than happy to serve their dishes to a group family-style, encouraging everyone at the table to sample every dish. That worked out extremely well last night: the four dishes we had complemented each other very nicely indeed - and completely by accident, too!
What we ate and how good it was )

I can't recommend Straits heartily enough to anyone who likes really good Asian cuisine.  Overall, it's about the same price as or slightly more expensive than, say, Max's (main dishes range from around $10 to $36).  Well worth it if you live in the area and want something a bit different and extremely tasty, and worth spending a meal here if you're visiting the area.

(Normally, we'd have a big family luncheon/dinner with Huz's brother's family, including our small but exceedingly active niece and nephew.  But we just had a big family get-together last week, and Huz's parents are doing a lot of cooking for guests in the past month, and thought it would be nice to have a quiet and civilized dinner out.  I'm not objecting!)

Happy birthday to me! I hit the 35-year mark today, and my main thought is, when did *that* happen?? Mentally, I see myself as around 26 or so.

The huz gave me nice presents this morning: a copy of Susannah Clarke's The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories, and Final Fantasy Tactics A2. As I loved Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, I'm excited about the book of short stories (which I didn't have any clue of the existence of till now). And I've been looking forward to Tactics since before it came out.  So, happy me!

Today looks to be quite ordinary otherwise.  Work, voice lesson, watch the debate.  And make sure my new game works... ya know, just to check.  :)
