C<\/span>learly my failed attempt at baking a brownie almost had me kicking myself. Instead of using all purpose flour, I accidentally threw in self-rising flour. That (supposed) brownie turned out puffy, dry and cakey. Eatable, but not that we would go for seconds or thirds. Sorry Hubby. I tried to salvage the celebration last Friday<\/a> with a celebratory night out stretched well into weekend \ud83d\ude09 Yup, the Hubby had loads of fun this year \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Guessed the cake was enough reason for a missing smile on Hubs face \ud83d\ude00 I tried to salvage our celebration by treating Hubby at our favorite Chinese restaurant.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Awesome home-made Chinese food, we love dining here every now and then. If it ain’t broken, why fix it right? \ud83d\ude09 Well, the only thing that was broken – my failed brownies. Guilty as charged.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As per the hostess’s recommendations, we begin with a soupy starter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sipped on hot and sour soup. A delicious, tangy and savory soup.<\/p>\n

Technically sipping. These days we are so glued to our gadgets. Sheesh \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1st Main course: Stir-fry rice cake noodles. Delicious noodles!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2nd Main course: Fillet of fish with string beans. Sweet, salty and spicy – a perfect balance of flavors. Served with fluffy rice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We took no time polishing off every delicious bits.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fortune cookies for added encouragement and support.<\/p>\n

After dinner, we decided to watch Sucker Punch<\/a>. A hot mess of confusion movie.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had about an hour to kill before showtime. Ben & Jerry’s was tempting enough for us to decide between:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Coconut ice-cream with sweet caramel and..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hubby’s favorite vanilla ice-cream!<\/p>\n
