Since I already taken my birthday leave last Monday in order to spend the long weekend with my family, I was working on my birthday on Tuesday. It seems weird to me as I always off on my birthday. Thus, my colleagues who knew it was my special day, they decided to bring me to Hard Rock Cafe in Sentosa for a treat.
We ordered quite a lot of food besides the set lunch which came with a salad for appetiser, main course, free flow drink and ice-cream for desserts. And, Hard Rock also has something special for birthday boys and girls..... Let's talk about the food first.

Tortilla chips with cheese to share for 5 of us. Its very nice ... love it. |
|
Buffalo wings... luckily this is not so spicy and its tasty. A little sour and spicy. Another finger food for sharing. |
|
Here's my salad with thousand island dressing. |
|
The main dish - I ordered a Ciabatta Roast beef. It's very filling and by the time I finished the first piece, I was very full! |
|
Free flow ice tea |
|
Dessert - Ice cream with apple pie |
After the meal, my naughty colleague told the waitress it was my birthday without my knowledge. All of a sudden, she brought a sundae with a candle on top and announced to everyone in the restaurant that it was my birthday. She asked them to sing me a birthday song and make me stand up in front of everybody while holding the sundae. hahaha....I felt so embarrassed but happy while they are singing the song and some of them are angmohs. I thanked everyone after the song and blew the candle.

Here's the birthday sundae, on the house. |
That's the first time a restaurant full of strangers sang me a song...hahaha.. And, with this I decided to foot the bill instead of my colleagues who arranged for the lunch and occasion. :)
Have a good weekend!
HRC! Used to go to the one in KL, Concorde. Servings were HUGE but they tell me they've shrunk now. Have not been for a long time.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I've experienced that before, it was so fun and actually I'm pretty enjoy that!
ReplyDeleteLovely birthday treat. When I worked I also used to take leave on my birthday.
ReplyDeleteI super super love the tortilla chips! Actually I'm eyeing on that dollop of sour cream and bacon bits, yummzzz !!
ReplyDeletefirst time going back to work on your birthday huh?? that gave your fellow colleagues a chance to celebrate your birthday for you lah, how nice!! and sure you are a nice guy liked by many that they knew it's your birthday and care to do something :)
ReplyDeletewow!! I guess that's your favorite place right?? remember you once mentioned it in your blog.. and OMG, look at those food, really very delicious and I want a bite too, haha!! but all very high in calories, so that night you spent double the time in the gym?? hehe~~
ReplyDeletenow that's the way American restaurant runs huh?? they always have very sporting waiters who will never feel tired to sing you a happy birthday song with a little cake on the house.. but like you, it can be quite embarrassing when everyone in the restaurant is looking at you.. it would be more fun like 10-20 years ago huh?? hahaha.. anyway, I am sure you felt happy and sweet deep in the heart (that you foot the bill) lah~~ :)
