My dad celebrated his golden day last Sunday, October 30, 2011. The night before, we had a pre-birthday family dinner at Hap Chan. Jeff and Mark were also invited over for dinner.
Mommy and Gia took charge of the orders. I just made sure that they get Hap Chan's Shrimp Siomai. :p I also wanted some hakaw, but I just decided to do away with my cravings since the dimsum they ordered were already too much. :)
Dimsum galore!!! | Shrimp Siomai - Php 80.00 |
We also had chicken feet and Mark also requested for asado siopao. :p
Chicken Feet - Php 75.00 | Asado Siopao - Php 75.00 |
Jaoey took hold of the menu and chose the crispy fried chicken.
Hap Chan Crispy Fried Chicken - Php 240.00 | Yang Chow Fried Rice - Php 190.00 |
We usually frequent Hap Chan because we love their food. I just wasn't able to enjoy the food that time because of my uncooperative stomach.
Nido Sweet Corn Soup - Php 130.00 | Sweet Corn with Crab Meat Soup - Php 130.00 |
Mixed Meat Canton - Php 185.00 | Fried Squid with Salt and Pepper - Php 240.00 |
Plus our appetites went low and our cravings were lessened because of their very slow service.
Fish Fillet with Tofu Hotpot - Php 270.00 | Hap Chan Special Hotpot - Php 270.00 |
But then again, we still had a fun dinner and managed to devour everything on the table! :p

The big day came and Jaoey and I were up early to hand our gifts to the golden boy. :)
Each of us also helped in the preparations for daddy's birthday feast. Gia and Jeff did all the slicing and preparation of ingredients and I was the one in charged in cooking the spaghetti and frying the chicken and shanghai. But of course as always, it was again my dad who cooked almost everything. :)

Everyone enjoyed the feast. Every food in the table was a hit! And I guess the best part was when the visitors got to take home some of my daddy's specialties. :p
