It was my turn to wear the silly hat yesterday. It was my birthday, after all. This rather dashing Happy Birthday hat was sent to me by a very special friend a couple of years ago. So I decreed that each birthday it should come out of hiding for a special birthday photo.

We had travelled home yesterday from our long weekend away staying at the Himitangi Beach Holiday Park. With a couple of stops to make on the way home, it was late afternoon before we finally arrived home. Not that I had to think about what to cook last night, as birthdays in our house mean going out somewhere nice for a meal.
We tried a new Thai restaurant in town, so new it had only been opened for a couple of weeks. Now then, what shall we order? We are certainly no experts in Thai cuisine so it was all a matter of what sounded the nicest. The menu came with pictures of the meals so we knew what to expect. For starters we decided on Satay Chicken Kebabs and Stuffed Mushrooms, they were served piping hot and were just so tasty and the plate of Roti Bread was light and tasty too. Our mains were Beef in Sweet Chilli Sauce, and Crispy and BBQ Pork, both served with rice. Oh my, they were both heavenly.

We just loved the food, and declared that we would certainly be back again soon. There are no pretensions here, no wine list or fancy coffee machine hissing away in the corner, just good honest delicious food. The prices were very reasonable, and they do take-ways too. It was a lovely birthday treat and we went home feeling well satisfied with our choices. Now, how soon can we go again?
