Missing my sunshine

Just came back from Amsterdam with Super Hubby after spending some short but so so so so sweet quality time with Super Daddy.

Three of us went - Super PaoPei, Super Hubs and me trundled into the car early yesterday morning and had an eventful 4 hour drive (which turned into 5 hours due to our silliness). But only two of us came back today. The other one is happily on her way home with Super Daddy to Super Mummy. *jealous*

And now my house is devoid of my cuddly sunshine!!!

*thinking positive happy thoughts about how much fun we had and how soon I will see her again* 
*do not, I repeat, do not dwell on sad, missing thoughts*

Back to Amsterdam. We also hung out with Uncle John, and managed to sneak in some very quick sights of the infamous aquariums and coffeeshops 'cos it was Super Hubby's first visit to Amsterdam. Paopei was not amused at all, and had her eyes downcast the entire time. *good girl*.

One of the highlights, other than being able to hang out with Super Daddy, was also our meal in his fave Amsterdam Chinese Restaurant. The problem with living in Luxembourg is that there is NO good chinese restaurant. Every single one is almost like a version of bad America take-out Chinese but at 1 million times the price. Think 20 euros for a stupid plate of fried noodles and 26 euros for a piece of refriedduck thigh. So, I've given up eating out at Chinese restaurants, and have resorted to trawling the internet for easy Chines recipes when I get my cravings.

So, yeah. Having Chinese in Amsterdam was a real treat. I chose ALLLL the things I didn't know how to make myself - all the roasted stuff, wok-hei fried noodles and braised ngau-nam (beef tendons). Yum, yum and more yums. 

Such a good time.

We must-must-must do this again soon. Even better if it's with the whole gang. XOXO
