The Year of the Dog

No, I didn't make a mistake in the blog post title.

This, 2008, is the year of the mouse.

But darling Sam was born in the year of the dog. And we think that may be why he's showing such doggy characteristics:



In the end, he only like the preserved red dates: ate 3 ~ 4 of them during the course of the dinner. The preserved lotus roots & carrots, he spat it out after munching on them for a while.

P.S. highly recommend the 年糕 at the Peach Blossoms restaurant in Marina Mandarin hotel. Tried 2 different flavours, both were wonderful when eaten warm (as when they served it), but esp. loved the coconut flavored one! Next year must remember to go there and eat again.......
