I like yum cha. And I like chicken feet.
That’s right: I’m Chinese and slightly eccentric.
Anyway, this particular outing was in celebration of my mum’s, ahem, thirty-fifth birthday – or thereabouts. (Who am I to tell the internet my mum’s real age?)
Pete was a big fan of all the yum cha dishes, which my parents were pretty pleased to see. It’s funny how when Angus isn’t there (like on this particular Friday when he was at daycare), Pete seems to come into his own a bit more. Or maybe it’s simply that we have more time and opportunity and headspace to pay him greater attention and discern all the little things that make him the delightful boy that he is.
To my dearest mum, happy birthday and thanks for everything you do for us.
We love you!

i can’t remember if i’ve ever had them.
Thx Mon. The sauce is tasty though I think the texture takes a bit of getting used to… Rick’s not a fan. :)

Hi Ronnie. Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your sweet and thoughtful comment. I’m always amazed at how this little medium brings people together.
Pete looks like a complete sweetheart and many happy returns to your mum. Your photos make me feel very hungry – we haven’t been to yum cha for months!
Hi Mary,
It’s so nice to have you visit my little corner as well. Hope you and your lovely family are doing well. Will pop by your blog soon to see how you’re doing!

Hope your mum had a wonderful 35th birthday! I’ve never tried chicken feet but I would be game if I was out with people who knew where to get good ones.
Hehe, well, who doesn’t like turning 35 over and over again! :)
We’ll have to do a chicken feet run…. LOL.

Love love love yum cha… not sure about the chickens feet though :s I haven’t tried them and I’m sure they a lovely but I just don’t think I could ever try them!!! :)
Looks like your mum had a lovely time and so did pete… cute!!
I reckon if I hadn’t grown up with them, I’d been pretty reluctant to try them myself!
Hope you’re having a good week Lamina.

I love your pictures. Yum Cha is definitely one of my favourites. And I like how kid-friendly these places can be. My daughter can scream as loud as she wants :)
Sass, you are SO right about that! I love that the boys can make as much noise. No one’s precious because everyone’s just as loud!
