Ah Kong’s Birthday 2026

My father turns 84 on THIS day, 19 August!

We celebrated last weekend with a Chinese course meal at Oriental Pavilion.

Now what's this? Baby back ribs with preserved plum tomatoes

Food was overall good.  Though the 'cod fish' was served fried in batter and the 'Australian scallop' was mixed like fish-paste - why waste premium ingredients?  Unless they weren't premium to begin with.... hmmmm.  

Dessert of herbal 'turtles' in mango cream

Is there enough space on the cake for the candles?  Oh yes enough haha.

84 times happy birthday!

6 grandkids - 1 has gone off to university

With everyone

My father is having some health issues which don't have clear causes and thus no clear remedies.  Docs are mainly writing it off to 'old age' at this point.  Praying this will improve.  We very much want him around for a long time to come.
