Yeaterday was Felicia's 12th birthday. As she's busy & bogged down with numerous homework, she wasn't interested in having any "big" (i.e. inviting friends) celebration. So we gave her her favourite treat...sushi and bought her what she really wanted...a ukelele :)

She never had an ice-cream cake for her birthday before though she has eaten several at friends' birthday parties. So we've decided to get a Swensen's ice-cream cake off the shelf. It was a bit ex but extremely delicious...with 3 flavours of vanilla, strawberry (with bits or real strawberries) and chocolate layered ice-cream sandwiched between two layers of cake. Plus, it was a design we (at least she & I) liked...my favourite Eeyore & Pooh Bear.
The ice-cream cake was packed with dry-ice at the sides which last about 45min to 1 h without re-refrideration (below):
Bert placed some dry-ice with water for the smoky-effect..the girls were so fascinated (below):

The scallop with mango looks so much better and prettily presented. The scallop was tasteless but really very fresh and tender. Perhaps that's the way the Japanese like it, bland :)
The cheese with salmon sushi. Looks weird and tastes more like salmon than cheese (below):
The Scallop sushi with mango presentation looks lovely (below):
My little girl, all grown-up :)
