Happy Birthday to Me

Assalamualaikum...

It was nearly 2 months ago that I turned 28. It was part of my 2-weeks-waiting-for-baby-delivery holiday that time hence I was able to somewhat celebrate it with my family.

Well, we had not have the budget nor the time to make a big celebration or doa selamat. Everything (especially budget) was cut down and under strict control that time to standby for wifey's delivery. We prepare for the worse.The worst case scenario would be having to undergo c-sect which will surely costs us a fortune as we insist on having the delivery at the specialist hospital for the better services compared to govt hospitals (no offence!).

Well, with limited budget we still managed to "organize" a very simple celebration--> by cooking at home! Muahahaha (Nampak sangat selama ni very rarely cooked at home, sampai cook at home pun boleh diingati sebagai suatu celebration!!! Blistering Barnacles!)

Well, this is the "victim""




I bought this lobster in Labuan for a whopping RM50 per kilo, of which most of my friends said is CHEAP (Blistering barnacles!). It may be true as they said the price for a kilo in Peninsular would be not less than RM100! Whatever!

I cooked the lobster, wifey prepares the gravvy and whoila, here's the end result:



Home Made Black Pepper Lobster! The taste? Rasa sebijik macam lobster! Muahahaha


...........

Ermmm... mind me, the REAL end result is:





My all-time faithful Chef de Partie preparing his secret recipe for 'Baking A cake for Papa"







However this lobster is none compared to the ones I had in The States last time during the Maine Lobster Festival. It was a hell of a festival where they brought in drums after drums of lobsters to be given FREE to everybody! And there are tonnes of leftovers where people dont bother, they throw it away! What a waste. If I'm the owner of Air Asia I would fill up my fleets with these lobsters and bring it home and sell it for a whopping RM100 and gets richer and richer! (Well maybe if I really am the owner of Air Asia, I wouldnt be bother of selling this piece of crap where I can make billions through the "Everybody Can Fly" Campaign...Blistering Barnacles! What am I talking???)

All in all, million thanks to well wishers and special thanks to wifey and son for the best birthday celebration ever in my life! Honestly!
