Madelina's 30th Birthday Celebration

Continuation from last Saturday .... after the hiking / BBQ trip, I showered and got ready for Madelina's 30th birthday bash in the city! We start out at dinner at Asia de Cuba. The food was SO amazing. And the best part of it was the fact that we ate family style, so we got to try so many dishes!





































































This is such an adorable picture


















We had two people at the table who were feeling sick, so they asked for hot water. Our waitress must have thought we were weird. But she brought us very 'fancy' hot water.

















Close up of the chicken dish with sticky rice wrapped in leaves


















Mashed potatoes with lobster


















Tuna with wasabi























I think Madelina was trying to take a natural picture but I caught her with the camera, hehe

















Yay! Happy birthday Madelina! She doesn't look a day older than 21, so cute :)






















































No one else liked this ball of crispy noodles made from rice, I thought it was tasty

















After the awesome dinner, we went to a bar where a crowd of Madelina's friends were waiting for us (she had no idea we had invited so many people). They were waiting for over an hour because dinner ended so late!




































Lots of mingling
