No big celebration, but a meal at his favourite and most difficult to reach place

Marcus had taken three days leave during his birthday to take a break from work. On the day of his birthday, we met one of his good friend for Starbucks coffee, and then proceeded to have roast duck.

It is definitely not easy to find our way to this place, and the only times Marcus has eaten there was when this particular friend brings him there. Therefore, each time we meal there, it is a rare occasion indeed!

Turning into the eatery

Walking and you'll see some lotus plants

All lotus plants. The roots are harvested for cooking

This is where you'll sit to eat. It's just like a home-run place. The guy in the picture is Ah Chao. He's the guy who brings us here

We were too busy eating that I forgot to take pictures of our food! Nonetheless, Marcus had taken pictures during his last visit, so I'm going to play cheat, and place those pictures here! After all, we had ordered and eaten about the same food! :D

I dunno what's this called

This roasted meat was very good! Super crispy

Not very clear, but these are tanks with fish that you can select from, and they'll cook it for you

Look up! Look what's growing!

It was not a big celebration, there were no cakes, no candles, no expensive food. But sometimes, it's just being with good friends, and eating something that you enjoy, and that's contentment :D
