Celebrating Bro's Birthday at Home

It was a relief that Evans finally let go of the thought to book a hotel staycation to celebrate bro's birthday. He has been wanting to do that since his last staycation. But yesterday though it was a simple celebration at home, I still found it nice and warm. And yes I literally felt warm, especially after having the steamboat dinner!!! And the hormones are not helping.

Anyway I was working from home yesterday, thus was able to reach my parents' home earlier than usual and the steamboat was already boiling and the spread looked amazing, as always. Too amazing that I was too eager to dig in so I did not snap any photos. I doubt my brother did too. Evans also had a longer than usual dinner, enjoying his food and our company. I always love to watch him eat because he is adorable to watch especially when he is focused at enjoying the food. 

Justine and hubby came a little later so they have to eat the dinner separately. By then it was already pouring heavily! Hopefully the steamboat brought them some warmth. But for me, I was perspiring, with rain or not. This could be quite frustrating!

The time for the birthday cake came when Evans requested to cut it. Papa bought the rainbow cake from Prima Deli! It was a big one 1.2kg and it looked really delicious! The chocolate cream looked enticing,

It was quite funny to see how me, my mama, papa and Justine took our mobile phones to keep snapping the photos of the cake and my bro. We looked like those paparazzi. 

look at those cheerful layers!!!

Though the cake was just cream and cake, there was no fruit filling (which I thought would taste a lot more refreshing), it was still a delicious cake!!! It wasn't too sweet and the chocolate cream had a rich and smooth texture. I enjoyed it but the colouring of the rainbow stayed a while on my finger and tongue. Don't think it will be a good thing to have rainbow flavoured stuff too often. 

Hope bro enjoyed the birthday! :)
