First night's dinner was a special Vietnamese noodle soup that MP had painstakingly prepared. It was delicious.
The next day was full of fun because MP planned a wonderful barbecue at Pointes West Army Resort. We had kalbi, rice with onion oil, bread, and corn. It was a lovely, lazy day. MP, Wah Toh, and I went canoeing but I don't have photos of that.
We also went to Wormsloe Plantation where they filmed the long drive up to Twelve Oaks in Gone With The Wind. We brought MP's two kids with us!
It was a wonderful five days. Added bonus was our brother-in-law, Mr. Wah Toh, was able to join us and served as the official photographer. The above pics are mine. Mr. Wah Toh's pics are way more professional.
In case you all didn't know, MP is an accomplished doctor and officer in the Army. Here are the coins that generals and high officials give out for major accomplishments. As you can see, MP has a lot of them.
After this trip, on behalf of Tai Wui (the board--i.e., the sisters), I bestow upon MP this coin for a job well done:
NN, all I can say is we had so much fun. The bun bo hue MP cooked was very tasty. I couldn't have done better. Maybe I should say hers was better than mine. The hot pot was impressive. I especially liked the tricks we pulled on MP in keeping secretive about the rest of the sisters 3,4, & 6 were joining us. Who say the BING CHUT CHAY (peon) cannot out smart the General? We are the living proof that it is doable as long as everyone work together. Ha Ha great fun, great fun. Wah Toh
ReplyDeleteKudos...where did you get that VN medal of honours? I had to laugh :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was such a great bonding time and persecuting time (from everyone against the lowly SN as usual). OK, for 2 bowls of bun bo hue and pieces of kalbi, I will be happy to be subjected to another persecution.
3-fish AKA SN (sek no/the stone brain)
3-fish, the fact of the matter is...do we want to pay such HI price... meaning bun bo hue and kalbi to persecute you?????? I suggest the rest of us need to think this through next time.... But if you can make it for the Sept Dai Wui meeting, maybe we can consider this. btw, the photographer has offer to make NASI LAMAK if you can make it. oh he just thrown in a bonus... imperial chicken. Don't even think that is my home grown feather friends.... we will find a substitue.... Wah Toh
