My birthday celebration: Part 1 – Cakes, Drinks and Fried Hot Dogs

The past Friday afternoon my boss sort of surprised me for my birthday.

What happened was my boss inquired me the past week when’s my birthday since I’ve sent out a mass e-mail to share out my week-early birthday cake to my co-workers (see photo here).

She managed to remember my birthday (despite of her busy schedule) and asked one of my other co-workers, Deniz to pick up my birthday cakes. I remember seeing her rushing into my boss’s office that morning lugging in two large shopping bags, making me wonder if we’re having a party? But I thought, “Nah.” Eventually my boss sent out a mass email indicating that we’re celebrating my birthday with birthday cakes at the conference room. I thought I was dyslexic for several minutes thinking that I’m reading “cakes” and it should be singular.

As Helen and I waddled ourselves to Chinatown, after our gluttonous feast of desserts and ramen to burn some calories, I wanted to show her my family’s favorite place for baked pork buns and dai bao (literally translated as “big bun” because eating one will hold you down for a meal or two!). Alas, it was 8 PM and as expected, the buns were sold out for the day and we’re left broken-hearted. But we wanted to do something since it’s still early, that’s when I remembered reading about a swanky bar that’s opened very close to where we were, Apothéke.
