We weren't going to do any of the above this year, and half of me was a little down and bothered about not having the yummy Christmas feast like my dad cooks up back in KL. Lee was also feeling a bit traditional - and spoke about how his old boss traditionally gave out Christmas ham leg to employees. So I said, why not have a ham this year?

Plans came together very last minute. Say - two weeks before. And the Christmas menu was increasing, even though the guest list wasn't. How were we going to feed two mouths with a bloody big ham leg?!

Lee chimes in to say, "That's why there's the ham bag - you keep it as leftovers for a month!"

Gaack!

A year down, infinity to go! I can't believe it's been a whole year for us already. Time flies when you're having fun, and that's a good thing to say about being together, isn't it? *^_^* Not trying to overlook that we haven't had our disagreements or kinks, which is a given, of course.

In a simple quiet first anniversary celebration, I decided to book 10-course degustation dinner for two at French restaurant Bécasse in the city.

The experience at Bécasse was quite fascinating, because it's not a place we could afford to go all the time. Lee said, it was surreal having to experience food presented like we've only seen off the Lifestyle Food channel. He was quite tempted to head to the kitchen and yell, "Yes, chef!!!" I agreed that while watching these little jellies and coagulated olive oil arrive on our plates, it was like I was being served by Heston Blumenthal!
