There were about 50 people at the party. Every table at Uncle P's house was covered with food. Some were catered, and some were prepared by the aunties.
The must-have at any Korean party, kimchi. This kimchi had a stinky fishy smell to it, but it tasted so good. Dr. P said this was equivalent to Chinese stinky tofu. The spicy mushroom banchan dish was also very good.
Chinese style appetizer, braised beef slices, pork slices, and jellyfish salad.
Lots of sushi.
Lots of crab rolls.
The eel tasted fishy though. I think it would taste better with some of that sweet eel sauce.
Scallop and red pepper kabob didn't have much flavor. The scallop was really fresh. We found out that kimchi and scallop went surprisingly well together.
Yum! Peking duck!
The spring rolls were made with lettuce, shrimp, and duck meat. Dipping sauce was spicy wasabi sauce.
Stir-fried seafood was soooooo good.
Braised beef and chicken wings. We love the rosemary chicken wings.
Fish and mushroom with egg battered.
This spicy cold noodle tasted Korean. I think it was made with the Korean red chili paste. It was great.
Rice with red bean.
Dessert + fruit table. I love those Korean mochi balls with red bean paste in the middle.
After eating way too much for dinner, it was cake time. Uncle P bought one regular cake with cream, and one Korean style rice cake. The Korean writing on the cake read "happy 100 years". I had a little piece of the cake, and it tasted just like rice cake (like the sliced kind of rice cake in soup). The cake wasn't really sweet at all. Pretty good.
Dr. P's cousin Cindy is a professional face painter. (You can contact Cindy and book her for your special event at Up Up and Away Face Paint.) After dinner, we had some face painting fun. Dr. P got Mike Tyson on one side of his face, and grandma P didn't like that side at all. She made a funny face with a frown when she saw it.
Grandma P (and me too) liked the dragon side better.
Lucine got a pretty butterfly.
Lauren got a cute girly skull. Aunties all got pretty flowers on their arms.
I had a lot of fun at the birthday party. It was really nice meeting everyone in Dr. P's family. I was really nervous about meeting grandma P for the first time. Even though we had a language barrier so we didn't talk much, but grandma gave me a big smile when we met. Happy 100th birthday, Grandma P!!

Did grandma eat anything?
ReplyDeleteYup, she sure did.
She can't eat too much, but seemed like she enjoyed the food (and cake).
WOW!!!
ReplyDelete看起來真的好豐盛好好吃喔～
（流口水......）
而且米國人（或者西方人）好像都很喜歡在有節日慶典的時候
在臉上彩繪
那似乎是一種歡樂慶祝的習俗（？）
公園叔叔家辦的趴都一定會有超豐盛的食物
之前我們還有吃過家庭式的超豐盛韓國烤肉大餐
全家族有20幾人然後他們準備的東西我們都吃不完
真的比去餐廳吃還要讚
恩外國人尤其是小朋友都很喜歡在臉上彩繪
像遊樂園啊園遊會啊什麼活動的幾乎都有臉部彩繪的小攤位
公園表姊就是臉部彩繪師
他都是周末接活動
光是周末上班做這個賺的就跟一般上班族賺的差不多囉
真的很厲害
wow so much food, look very yummy.
ReplyDeleteWay too much food, but I am not complaining about it. haha....
看起來好好吃...，感覺還是中國食物比較多嘛 XD
ReplyDelete其實菜色感覺跟台灣的差不多?
公園叔叔他們好像有幾道菜是從韓國式中國餐廳點外燴的
韓國式中國餐廳的中國菜吃起來味道其實還是和我們道地的味道不太一樣
就像美國式中國菜的味道吃起來也不太一樣的感覺
不過還是蠻好吃的就是
Happy 100th Birthday to Grandma P! Wish her a lot more years of happy living!
ReplyDeleteMaybe since the kimchi is the equivalent to stinky tofu you will get Dr. P to try stinky tofu soon :). The sushi looks so pretty and colorful. Love these big types of platters!
That's what I said! If he can eat stinky kimchi, why can't he eat stinky tofu?
haha.... but that kimchi sure is tasty. Dr. P told me it smells fishy because they added those tiny baby shrimp in it.
Holy moly. The food looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteI love parties at Uncle P's house.
They always have incredible food!
I was so stuffed I almost popped! and I'm Mike Tyson too!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you sweetie for joining us in this terrific celebration!
Thank you for inviting me, Mike Tyson!
Although you made me gain 2 pounds....
Abundant yummy food guarantees a great time! Don't be nervous, I am sure his family all adored you ;) Afterall, they should be happy getting rid of a Mike Tyson :P, j/k. The face paintings looked really cool!
ReplyDeletehahahaha... Oh yeah they sure wanna get rid of Mike Tyson ASAP!
Wow, soo much food! 100th Birthday. That is crazy!
ReplyDeleteI know! Grandma P is the oldest person I've ever met!
Oh,my! Who was in charge of the menu?! We had really similar good taste! ahahahahah I love almost all the dishes!
ReplyDeleteI think uncle P's family was in charge.
Yup, everything was great! That was why I gained 2 pounds that night. >_<
That was a great birthday party for everyone there, the food, fun, and spirit. very enjoying for your pictures and story.
ReplyDeleteThank you, DayTrader! ^^
It sure was a great birthday party. I think Grandma P was very happy.
你的公園先生是混血韓國人嗎? 眼睛顏色好像不太一樣
ReplyDelete恩是的，他的眼睛是綠色的。
Lucine很不像亞州人哩, 他們家是混哪一國的血統?
ReplyDelete他是公園他哥女友，中東人
