Mother’s Day 2024

Saturday, 11 May 2024: The Eve of Mother’s Day

The celebration kicked off on the eve of Mother’s Day with a delightful family dinner. Following our meal, we made our way to Encore, a charming café known for its exquisite tarts and cakes. We savored decadent desserts and tea and captured precious memories with photographs.

In a heartfelt gesture, Alycia whipped up flour-free pancakes for my breakfast. Made with just bananas and eggs, seasoned with vanilla and cinnamon, these pancakes were a delicious and thoughtful treat reminiscent of my favorite Penang apom.  It’s a tradition that my thoughtful eldest does every year for me on Mother’s Day – pancakes or French toast along with a handmade card or origami. It’s better than a material gift, coming from someone who doesn’t like cooking but makes an effort to prepare something special for me.

Sunday, 12 May 2024: Mother’s Day

On Mother’s Day itself, we went to Man Kee Hong Kong Beef Noodle in Bangsar for brunch. Renowned for its Wagyu beef brisket noodles, we indulged in a gastronomic delight unlike any other. The rich flavors of the beef with melt-in-the-mouth fats, paired with perfectly cooked noodles in a bowl of umami beef broth, left us craving for more. Additionally, we relished half a steamed village chicken, accompanied by tantalizing dipping sauces and bouncy squid balls made with real squid meat.

After our sumptuous lunch, we strolled over to Jaslyn Cakes to satisfy our sweet cravings. Indulging in butter cake, pistachio cake, and chocolate chip cookies, we enjoyed a cozy moment over cups of coffee and lattes. While hubby and Cass sipped on Piccolo latte and matcha latte respectively, I opted to skip caffeine to ensure a restful night’s sleep.

Sherilyn was unable to join us for the celebrations as she had to complete back-to-back assignments and on Sunday, she had an event to attend at her dance studio.

Wagyu beef brisket hor fun.

RM60 for half a steamed village chicken. The dipping sauces were da bomb.

Very yummy squid balls at RM4 a ball. Pretty expensive but worth spending on as every bite has real squid meat in it.

RM160.05 for just two bowls of beef noodles and half a steamed chicken is pretty steep. But you’ll be assured of high quality ingredients.

The restaurant is air-conditioned.

Our busy bee’s latest assignment. She’s been having back-to-back assignments with short deadlines the past week and has been sleep-deprived. She’s currently in the final semester of the Foundation In Natural & Built Environments. She’ll be commencing her first year of BA of Science in Architecture in Sept this year.
