My sister…will be the “longest relationship I’ll ever have”.
Think about it. Your parents, your grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins….your boyfriend, your husband, wife, girlfriends, friends……but the LONGEST. It’s your sibling.
So, I guess I sorta hit the jackpot with mine. She complements me in the best way. She looks like me (we pass for twins…or I get I’m older all the time….) Her rational thinking with my over the top/out of this world thinking. Her calm and peaceful (most of the time) aura and my stressed/angry Jess mode. Hmmm…I’m not painting the best picture of myself. But I’m sure you guys get it. She even threw me a surprise birthday party two years ago actually. You can read all about it here!
Shes my yin to my yang. My peanut butter to my jelly. My ketchup to my hotdog. My best friend. (PS: Not sure how it got to food condiments? ;)) She’s done so much for me. I have no words to express how much I love her. Except that. She’s one heck of a woman.
My beautiful, smart, and overall amazing sister just celebrated her 2(_)th bday! It was a two part-er…..
Day 1: Pre-birthday brunch was celebrated at 238 in nearby Sheung Wan. It’s a new Dutch… Italian/French/Western fusion bistro that just opened up. Right next to Heirloom & 208 (post)! And we were surprised at how good everything was! The set lunch came in at HK$125. Which is not bad at all seeing just how much fresh food you get. Jie started with a cup of coffee and caramel waffle!!
Jie had the set lunch…which comes with your choice of appetizer- she went with the Crispy Salad w/ Thin Sliced Chicken Filet and a Soya Chilli Dressing. The portion is quite large! So that’s good! Fresh chicken pieces with a semi-spicy and sweet soya chilli dressing! Great starter
Her main was a Stew of Shrimp, monkfish and Salmon w/ Crab sauce and haricots verts! Sis also had this. I didn’t try this…because…
I went with their special: a Creamy Lobster soup, richly filled with all kinds of seafood and fish. HK$130…I PRETTY much ordered the exact thing!! But BETTER I love creamy lobster soup. OMG. Perfect perfect perfect brunch! The creamy bisque was salty! (Which I like…but others might find it too salty!) But trust me…so good! Loads of plump, juicy, fresh seafood. The lobster meat was slightly sweet. The salmon bites (which were a plenty) melted in your mouth! 238 is NOT stingy with their food!!! I loved EVERYTHING about this dish. The manager was so sweet at the end. Asking if I would like more soup!!! (The soup comes in a teapot) AND..she gifted sis and I each a caramel waffle biscuit to take home! You betcha I’ll be back.
Night time…pizza party Thanks for everything Benson! All the planning and for food and drinks!! Happy Birthday Jie!! <3 Part 2: Coming soon.
