It's my birthday weekend. We went to my parent's place in Richmond, BC, to celebrate. Don't worry, we didn't invite people to the celebration - it's just seven people and two households. The first household is my husband and me, and the second household is my parents and three siblings.
I asked my mom to cook spaghetti for my birthday, and I thought of ordering from LA Chicken. Spaghetti and fried chicken is like a staple in Filipino birthday children's party. However, I became lazy and didn't want to line up and order from LA Chicken.
Feast from Tasty Pinoy BBQ Skewers at Iba pa
To go with my mom's spaghetti, I ordered lumpiang shanghai (Filipino-style spring rolls), pork BBQ in skewers, kwek-kwek, and kare-kare from Tasty Pinoy BBQ Skewers at Iba pa.

| Filipino-Style Pork BBQ Skewers |
My youngest sister is picky with her Filipino-style pork BBQ, and she approved of this. I am happy! As she succinctly expressed, the meat is juicy and has the perfect meat-fat ratio.

| Kwek-Kwek |
My younger sister loved Kwek-Kwek and she couldn't stop herself from eating.

A Filipino birthday party is incomplete without lumpia, and the one they serve is gigantic.
Birthdays are a celebration of life. I am grateful for all the love and blessing I have received so far, and I can't wait to see what the future holds.
