My birthday 7th August

 My surprised birthday cake

My yummy chocolate fudge birthday cake

7th August is my special day! My 1st birthday as wife... my 1st birthday in Glasgow... I even told my parents and hubby that I have a SIMPLE request for my birthday .... I only want 'kompia', 'kampua', and 'sio bee' for my birthday this year. Hahaha. I know it is impossible for me to have those food in Glasgow. Only joking with them.

My pretty roses made me even more attractive for my special day

My hubby brought me to Khublai Khan (Mongolian barbeque buffet). He said he wants to bring me to eat something special...something that I haven't tried before. Let's go and eat exotic species! Feel sorry cos we are too mean to eat them. But only once in a lifetime! (It's the 2nd time for hubby) Hohoho

*a short intro about the Mongolian place*

Khublai Khan was the grandson of the fearsome legend Genghis Khan, the founding father of the largest contiguous empire in history. Khublai was the Mongol emperor of China from 1259, and amongst other great feats was responsible for moving the capital of China to Khanbalik, or 'Cambuluc' (now the site of Beijing), hanging around with a young chap called Marco Polo while he was at it.

With Thai (hubby's labmate) and Winn (hubby's uni mate + our flatmate). My new friends from Thailand.

We chose the full feast (very expensive indeed!!)

Faster chose our starters and drinks

My green tea

Wah Ho

(Cumin flavoured minced wild boar in a crispy pastry parcel served with a hot and sour sauce.

My table number is '47'. I have to take my own number to the buffet table later.

This menu teaches us how to mix the sauce for the buffet meal

It's time to go to the buffet table after finishing the starters. *very excited*



Steps to follow when joining this Mongolian buffet:

1. Take your table number with you.
