Restoran Gafan

Both kids and myself had bouts of vomitting/diarrhea/bloating one after the other. I am all better now and suddenly had this craving for claypot chicken rice...... ah...... so we all went to Restoran Gafan for lunch immediately after church.

Their signature dish : drunken chicken claypot rice : RM16.00 for Large (good for 2 diners) or RM9.00 for a Small serving. The claypot used are all of the non-stick type. They also have a variety of other flavours eg black pepper, thai and with salted fish. There's also claypot prawn rice and claypot fish rice (RM10) - which we ordered - pictured below:

Side dishes include a variety of vegetables and beancurd. I absolutely love the sweet chilli dip that came with it. RM6 for half a dozen or RM10 for 10 pieces. They also serve drinks and soups.

Dear hubby ate a LOT! I hope he's not gonna be affected by the nasty virus..... 

Oh, Restoran Gafan is located at 11, Jalan 20/13, Paramount Garden, Petaling Jaya - opposite Luck Kee Hawker Center. The place is very hot and stuffy in the afternoons as they do not have air-cond. So, best to visit during the evenings.

5th Birthday celebration at TJC

Evan's 5th birthday was on 18th August 2010 - we celebrated his birthday a day after that at the kindergarten. Evan woke up feeling very very excited to go to school (if only everyday it's like this!). He was already waiting all ready at the door even before time. Ordered a box of 36 Signature Swirls mini cupcakes RM45 from aimishaz@yahoo.com (self-collection at section 16, PJ)

The children gathered at the school pantry at about 10am during their snack time. They sang the birthday song and Evan blew his candles. Then, it was prayer time led by Teacher Esther.

The teachers distributed the cupcakes. A few kids had seconds! As for Evan, he happily licked the red cream off his cupcake.

Marissa wanted to eat as well and she was given a chair to sit beside her brother and she polished off the green cream off her cupcake as well!

 Evan took photos with all his friends at the different tables.

Finally, he gave out the party packs to all his friends with Teacher Cindy helping. As for his own party pack, he gave it to his girlfriend during ASP. Teacher Cindy said that Evan told her that he wants to marry 2 wives! What a casanova! Another teacher also commented that he has many girlfriends - and his classmates giggled at this comment. Poor Evan, he looked so blur blur.......... hopefully he won't be so blur next time when he's an adult and gonna get married!

Early birthday celebration for Evan

Evan woke up bright and early on Sunday morning. He was very well-behaved at church and children's church (all his teachers commented on his excellent behaviour). The children's church celebrated his birthday and he received a gift and a muffin. His good behaviour continued throughout the afternoon and both Larry and I were very pleased with him.  So, we decided to reward him with the Lego Star Wars Visual Dictionary book which we bought some time ago. He was overjoyed when we told him he could finally have the book as he was very obedient. We also decided to have a mini birthday celebration later in the evening.

We stepped into Cafe Baskin Robbins at the Gardens for the first time and ordered a single scoop waffle cone strawberry cheesecake ice-cream which was absolutely delicious! RM9.75 for one. If you have Robinsons Card, 10% discount for orders above RM20.

It was a huge serving and all 4 of us shared the ice-cream. My dad didn't want any. Before dessert, we were at Purple Cane Tea Restaurant for a scrumptious Chinese dinner.

I bought some cupcakes from Delectable, the Gardens.

RM28 for a box of 3 cupcakes - super expensive! but we were curious to try it out.

3 different flavours : chocolate expresso, vanilla with macadamia nuts & vanilla with ginger.

Evan promptly stuffed the entire sugar bear into his mouth and after that just refused to eat anymore cupcakes. The chocolate expresso one (the bear) was very tasty - but not worth the extra $$$.
