Dinner At Paramount Hotel - Auntie's 80th Bday Bash

It was one of my aunties' birthday last night so we were invited to her birthday bash at Paramount Hotel. The Hiis all tarted up for the occasion.

Mum in her new top and pretending to wear my sky high heels:

Dad the poser wearing YSL shirt and CR pants that Ah Here bought him (she knew what size to buy by trying them on.. same size as dad ... so sad):

Me, poor me have to take self portrait... do I look like Mum, Dad or combo?? Lots of people kept saying I look EXACTLY like dad. What the?!!!!? I do not!

Mum and Dad:
Anyway the dinner was banquet style so the dishes came out one after another, once the previous one had been finished. I was very controlled and didn't eat too much. Most photos were my own individual servings because I didn't want to draw attention to my alter ego : blogging freak.
First up: noodles with a hard boiled egg with a deep fried coating. Typical dish for birthdays.
Second dish: Shark's fin soup... yum yum.... I know I know it's a bad thing. Second dish in Sibu is always always always a soup dish.
Third dish: Steamed fish with garlic. So soft.
Fourth dish: Deep fried chicken with cheese, mango slice and toast. This was different and quite nice. Like a giant hors d’oeuvres.
Fifth dish: Obligatory vege dish with an eggy gravy. Was alright. I had 2 servings of this to feel healthier and in a bid to not eat two servings of the other dishes.
Sixth dish: Sweet and spicy spareribs. The one on the left is beef and the right is venison.. had two servings *drop head in shame*
Seventh dish: Gigantic prawns with a spicy curry eggy gravy and deep fried dipping bread. Ahhh save the best for last... This was THE dish that deserved pics of the whole thing instead of just my own serving. We've heard that this is Paramount's star dish and I've been looking forward to trying it. Trust me, it didn't disappoint. I was going to have another serving but everyone else obviously liked it too. Boooooooo. Yummmm

All gone..
Saw quite a few people that I haven't seen for a long time. Sigh, time really doesn't wait for anyone.
