Attending An 80th Birthday Dinner At Kinta Riverfront, Ipoh

Last Friday, we attended an 80th birthday dinner at Kinta Riverfront Hotel, Ipoh. Together with a friend in our car, we reached early and got a parking space in front of the hotel. Guests were given a bottle of Naturel extra virgin olive oil as door gift and were seated at tables named after well known Bible characters. After a time of praise and worship, we all sat down to enjoy the dinner.
 #1 - Longevity Bun with many smaller buns inside.
 This is one of the small buns inside the longevity bun.
It has a small amount of sweet paste filling inside.
 #2 - Prosperity 5 Happiness.
From this angle, only 4 Happiness can be seen with 1 hidden from view.
 #3 - Braised Crab Roe with Fish Maw Soup

 #5 - Steamed Dragon Tiger Grouper Fish with soy sauce
 #6 - Pan Fried Prawns with superior soy sauce
 #7 -  Braised Mushroom with Chinese green & gingko nuts
 #8 - Egg Noodles with shredded chicken meat, mushroom & vegetables
 #8 - i) Fried Sesame balls & Fancy sweet rolls.
#8 - ii) Sweet dessert consisting of dried longan, red dates, snow fungus, etc.
Here ends the 9 courses tasty and satisfying dinner.

My son, never forget the things I've taught you.
If you want a long and satisfying life, closely follow my instructions.
Never tire of loyalty and kindness.
Hold these virtues tightly. Write them deep within your heart.
(Proverbs 3:1-3, The Living Bible-TLB)
