Of My Birthday!

First off, it has been 3 weeks before I finally met up with Vi-Zanne in Philly because she was on her vacation in London. Such a pleasure catching up with her after so long! What's better is that now the Malaysians in TJU knows her as well. Watch out Philly, we're expanding, lol! We met up for a typical Sunday morning Dim Sum, which incidentally was my first dim sum meal in the states!

My all-time favourite -- Zha Leong!

I wouldn't have took this picture in Malaysia, but it's just so fascinating seeing it around in the states.

I know, damn jakun.

Sour little boy unhappy with the white balance.

Lay Queen, the bunny after her fair share of dim sum.

Hong Mun, Vi-Zanne, Me. (missing Jing Yi here)

Okay on to the 2nd year anniversary with bi :) We headed to Caribou Cafe after researching for any nice places to eat around Philly. No regrets right there. I would've said it's one of the better places I've ever eaten here so far (until bi brought me to Del Fresco for my bday, but we'll get there).

A bird's eye view of Caribou Cafe.

My medium-rare steak with fries.

Just look at those seasoning on the red meat *drools*

Hope we have years to come to further discover more good food around the area :) ♥

As for my birthday, the rest of the gang and I headed out to Devil's Alley for some awesome ribs as recommended by Aaron, except he didn't go because nothing on the menu was below 400 calories, lol! It was my birthday so I was going anyway.

Devil's Alley.

The all so famous ribs @ Devil's Alley.

Was not too bad, a 7.5/10? comparable to the all-you-can-eat-ribs I had @ Tony Roma, London.

Us that night.

Only reason why I would make a picture B&W or Sepia is because the noise level was just too high.

Thanks guys! Appreciate it a lot :)

Now on to the birthday dinner bi brought me to. It was ridunkulously AWESOME. Best dinner I've ever had so far in Philly, arguably the best in my life! It was @ Del Fresco, a comparable steakhouse to Peter Luger's, except with much more class.

The view from where we dined. Simply lovely.

Credits to bi's camera cause my camera could not function as effectively since it was a dim setting.

Bi's VIP.

(Some martini soaked with pineapple for 14 days and squeezed out)

My medium-rare 16oz T-Bone Steak seasoned and cooked to perfection.

Went extremely well with the Cabernet Sauvignon - Louis M Martini 2007 red wine the waitress recommended.

So good.

Pretty rich, so guilty eating it, but the heck with it.

Bi & I.

Thanks for the night dear! Enjoyed it to the max.
