After the Illuminations cruise, we were all a little sad as it was our last night at the World. It was time to come home; and truth be told, I was ready to head home.....I was still feeling sick-ish and ready to come home to my own bed.
But first, we were heading to Southern California to visit my dad's cousin and stay for a few nights with her. My aunt and I are particularly close in thinking and mindset; so it is always a joy to catch up with her whenever I can. Her and her husband draw me to SoCal like a magnet and as much as possible, we will always schedule a longer stopover to visit and chat.
We got up early and finished packing. It was sad to leave BCV and we had come to think of our villa and POR as our Disney home.
We caught ME to the airport. Check-in and the flight to LAX was really smooth and event-free.
We had decided to stay at my aunts place and the rest of the family decided to stay at Anaheim. And we had planned one extended-extended family dinner together.
My aunt chose a Chinese restaurant nearer Anaheim. We decided to order one of the banquets and heres what we ate.
We started with Sang Choi Pow, fresh lettuce cups with a meat filling.
I think this was a pepper/garlic scallop dish; although it does look like prawns
This is definitely the prawn dish!
We had yummy lobsters!
This was the next course
.vegetables.
Followed by Crispy Skin Chicken.
And then the Tofu, Ma Poh style.
No Chinese banquet is complete without fish.
We also had the special friend rice.
Both desserts were typical Chinese sweet soups and they tasted overly sweet to me.
There was 12 of us for dinner and the bill came to about US$200, including tip. To us Aussies
.an absolute bargain!
And, as always, we had a great time visiting my aunt.
