Love family days together. We always go for good food today and bond with all the catching up of our busy days!

Picked the Grandparents from their house and drove to Chinatown for brunch at Yan Palace Restaurant. Celebrated Daddy's birthday with them a day early! We decided to take them for dim sum cause Ah Gong loves dim sum! It was Daddy's 50th birthday so it was an extremely happy day! (:

Zonia and I!

Packed on a Saturday morning.

Me in a sweet white colored dress from my friend's online store! (:

Thinking of keeping my hair long again. The curls are doing well! thank you, Von! His number is 92995052 should you like to make a hair appointment (:

Ah Gong having his dessert before/ during meals as usual (:

Food took awhile to come but it's said they made their dim sum fresh. So 20 minutes was worthwhile.

BBQ Char Siew Puff

Everyone said this was good. I didn't have any cause we had only a plate. So order this if you visit.

Roasted Pork Rice

I had this. And this is good! These two plates are the most expensive dishes at $6 but it's really very good. The roasted pork is not as good as the char siew plate!

Mama, Zonia and I like our char siew lean so this is very good. It's not dry at all and juicy!

Prawn Roll with Banana

Steamed Har Kaw

Custard egg yolk buns

Zonia's favorite and must order at every dim sum meal. But this is not the best we have had. A little dry in our opinion.

Glutinous rice in lotus leaf

Siew Mai

Prawn Chee Chong Fun.

Steamed Pork Buns

Prawn rolls with Almond

Yes!!! We ordered a lot of food! 1 of each plate.

me with my favorite char siew bao!

2 longs of this!

Paper wrap chicken

This is also very good. It's very tender and fragrant. It would be better if it's a little less salty.

Spicy Chicken Claws for Grandparents

My Yam Paste with Ginko nuts

This is only $4 and very generous portion. It is not my usual yam paste cause it has coconut milk served with it. Not exactly my favorite combination but thankful for Ah Gong who shared it with me (:

Wore this embossed dress which i handpicked from Angela's online store for brunch! The dress is such a dear, it has a pretty cut and made of very fab fabric. The dress is slightly loose on me so i would say fits a UK8 better. I really love the embossed prints and i think throwing in the belt makes it look smarter. Thank you, Angela, for this beautiful piece! (:

That's another shot with Zonia! I am using my new dust plug!

Baby Pink Flower Charm Dust Plug from Charisma Love! It's my second time featuring them here! (:

So pretty! :D

I love the color combination of this dust plug. The little tassel ropes are so cute and it's of the cutest pastel colors. Besides the tassel ropes, it comes with a baby pink 3D flower as well! And all connected with a cream bow!

I've never seen a prettier dust plug (:

Took some photos with my iPhone cause my camera died on me ):

With Ah Gong!

Ah Ma!

Zonia!

The meal for 7 of us cost only $93! It's probably one of the cheapest dim sum feast i've had! The food is of good quality and most importantly, affordable! I had wanted to take my family to Asia Grand but mama thought this place had quite good reviews too. Yan Palace Restaurant is really packed on weekends, so do make a reservation if you intend to dine there.

Hello Itacho! Been awhile since I dined there! I love their Chef Recommendation menu and also the promotions they hold teehee.

Not too sure why this doesn't come with onions. I asked for extra onions but my don came without. I love onions! ):

Smoked duck is good!

Wore this romper for a casual day out and the feature of this romper got to be the scallop hemline! The romper is very comfortable and cause it's rubberized at waist, it's very convenient!

terrible lighting!

And it was dessert at MOF after a little shopping. Sinful day cause i had ate so much!

Very comprehensive Dessert Menu!

Iced Latte

Mini Macha Zen with Abekawa! This is very good! It has got hokkaido red bean paste with low fat japanese green tea gelato. And Japanese dumplings served with japanese mochi and soya bean powder!
