It's my grandma's birthday today, which means a huge traditional Chinese banquet meal with the whole fam. I haven't been to a family dinner in a long time because my work schedule seldom allows me to make them in time, but I purposely scheduled myself to work at 9:00 AM today just so I could make this one. (My grandma is getting old and I need to make more of an effort to see her.) We went to my grandma's favourite Chinese fine dining restaurant and had all the usuals: roast suckling pork and jellyfish noodles, black silkie chicken soup, beef and broccoli, steamed whole fish with ginger and scallions, sweet and sour pork, whole white cut chicken with choy sum, sui gao dumpling noodle soup, banquet fried rice, fried date pastry and mango jelly, and of course, the requisite longevity peach buns. I feel like I won't have to eat for another two days.
