Mother's Day Dinner_11.05.08

We celebrated Mother's Day with a dinner at Ace and Spade Restaurant, Subang Jaya. My brothers, Dr. Mahendraraj and Jayaraj, came over with their family to celebrate. It was a long wait for the food as the restaurant was crowded. After waiting for more than an hour, we threatened to cancel and walk out. Food was promptly served after a few minutes. Nevertheless, the dinner was enjoyable and the "butter prawns" were the favourite dish among the children.
