Chhori turns 4 !!!

Another year has gone by so quickly and our dear Chhori is turning 4 today.

Dear Chhori,

The day you were born was the greatest moment of our life. We never knew we could love something so tiny so much, but the day you came into our life we were overwhelmed by all the love we had for you.

Watching you grow up has been such a joy, and we know that only greatness lies ahead for you. May your birthday be just as spectacular as you are.

Happy 4th birthday sweetheart!


Love mama and papa

Double Father’s Day Celebration

As we celebrate both Nepali Father’s Day and Australian Father’s Day, we had a great time with both the celebrations.

For the Australian one, Chhori and I baked a cake and surprised AS with breakfast in bed.

Chhori helped me with cooking and baking and was over the moon with her cupcake.

With Nepali Father’s day, I prepared Sagun and Chhori followed the ritual with AS.

I am so proud to say that she is such a good girl that we don’t have to worry at all. All I have to do is instruct and she will do the process and enjoy the whole thing too.

Hope all the fathers had a great time celebrating Father’s Day.

Happy Weekend everyone 🙂

I am also grateful to you for your support over the last 7 years. I could not have gotten to where I am without you, so thank you for all your encouragement, comments, likes, shares, and more. It has meant so much to me. Thank you for reading my rants and giving so much love to me, AS and Chhori.

I have a virtual cake for all to hand around! Cheers!!!

 

P.S: To celebrate the occasion like every year, I will be opening the nominations for Nepaliaustralian’s Blog Award 2018 so watch out for my future post.

Celebrating Anniversary @ Kyūbi Modern Asian Dining

First of all, a million thanks for everyone who wished us on our anniversary. We feel so happy and blessed with all the warm anniversary wishes that came through Facebook, sms, blog, Instagram and calls. Thank you once again everyone.

AS bought me mesh bracelets which I loved.

We were lucky that our anniversary fell on a Sunday this year. My SIL looked after Chhori so we had the day to ourselves.

Since becoming parents, we don’t like to leave Chhori with someone for very long so we decided to take the afternoon to celebrate instead of the evening.

We dropped Chhori off and then went to the movie first.

The pick of the day was Jurassic World. I am not a big fan of the Jurassic series like AS is but I did enjoy the movie.

It was a fun movie and really enjoyed the graphics and animations.

After the movie, we went for lunch at this beautiful restaurant called Kyūbi Modern Asian Dining.

They described themselves as Modern Asian Dining and aspire to create a dining experience that brings people together over the love of food.

It is named after the mythical 9 Tail Fox, the Kyūbi features as folklore in many East Asian cultures. The 9 tails represent the various Asian cultures from which they draw inspiration and flavors.

I absolutely loved the decor of the place as it had some beautiful show pieces hanging on the walls from different Asian countries. It had sufficient privacy for groups of guests and was spacious.

The lady who served us was amazing as well with knowledge of the food and service was with smiles. She was very attentive to our needs and the service was genuine and not put on.

Looking at the menu we decided to go for their tasting plate so we could have a taste of everything yummy and it was definitely a good decision.

The portion sizes were perfect and each of the courses came out in a timely manner. It really is a great way to eat because you don’t have to eat a big main meal in one go.

So our menu contained

Entrees:

Char grilled salmon pla bon perilla leaf

Handmade prawn and pork shumai

Prawn has gow dumplings

Salt & Pepper Tofu pickled vegetables

Main:

Bulgoogi Korean lamb ribs

Wilted Asian leaves with dried shrimp

Slow cooked lamb ‘crying tiger’

Salt and Chilli King Prawn’s chilli mayonnaise

Vegetarian Fried Rice bamboo shoots, snow peas, water chestnut

Dessert:

Mango pudding with tapioca pearls, fresh fruit and lychee granita

The food was delicious and nicely flavored and very light but at the same time very filling. We will be going back again for sure.

By the time it was dessert time, I was so stuffed that I didn’t want to eat anymore but still tasted it.

We asked if they could write “Happy Anniversary” for us and they did. It was really nice.

While talking to the lady, we discovered that both the chefs in the kitchen were from Nepal so we went and said our hello after lunch.

Overall, we had a great afternoon and it was even better when we saw Chhori who was waiting for us with a big smile. She was so happy to spend the day with my nephew.

Our 7 Year Wedding Anniversary…….

I can’t believe it has already been 7 years since we got married. It definitely doesn’t feel that long. Please read Our Story to know about us.

When I first met him in high school, I had never imagined that one day he would be my husband and a wonderful father to our amazing daughter.

If you have been following my blog, you know that AS and I are so different in so many ways. We are complete opposites, we see things differently, we do things differently and we think differently. There are times when he drives me crazy and vice versa, but when we come together something just clicks. We make each other laugh and we both know how to get the best out of each other.

To my dear husband,

They say that Life is beautiful when you are surrounded by amazing people. I agree 100% because I have been lucky enough to have a wonderful man by my side in this wonderful life journey.

So today I’d like to say a massive thank you for being amazing, wonderful, handsome and an all-round awesome husband. You make my life so much better, you support me, you make me laugh, you make me feel like the most beautiful women in the world and you make me believe in myself and make me believe that together we can get though anything!

All the words in the world could not even begin to describe how deeply I am in love with you. You are not only my love, but you are my soul. I love you.

I am glad we have made it so far and I am sure we will go even further as we have loved this journey that we took together years before. Happy 7th Anniversary.

With lots of love ❤️,

M
