Time really flies, and I cannot believe that my one and only darling baby girl is now 12 years old. As a proud father of this adorable girl, I couldn't be more thrilled and grateful to celebrate my daughter's 12th birthday. Happy 12th birthday Jasmine girl. You are one year older now my big baby! 😍
Happy 12th Birthday Jasmine Girl
The excitement that we shared was palpable as we gathered at home for a joyous and intimate birthday celebration. Jasmine, her mother, her elder brother Jordan, and I were all super excited to celebrate this special day of hers together, creating priceless memories that will last a lifetime.
A Feast Fit for a Princess
Birthday is all about great food and with whom you enjoy the feast, right? My wife and I went out of our way to purchase all of Jasmine's favourite food. We wanted to make sure that her cravings for all her favourite food can be gratified. Besides, she preferred to enjoy her birthday feast at home just like how she enjoyed her birthday breakfast earlier that day. So being a foodie herself, she surely had a blast indulging in her favourite food! Let's see what she had enjoyed on her birthday night!
1. McDonald's Nasi Lemak
Our Jasmine girl absolutely adores the Nasi Lemak from McDonald's, so we made sure to include it in our menu. The fragrant coconut rice, cooked to perfection, was infused with pandan leaves, giving it a delightful aroma. Served alongside were crispy McDonald's fried chicken, coated in a secret blend of McDonald's seasonings that created that unmistakeable mouthwatering crunch. The accompaniments of fried anchovies, peanuts, and spicy sambal sauce added layers of texture and flavour to this beloved dish of hers.
2. Mouth-Watering McDonald's Fried Chicken
We truly enjoyed McDonald's fried chicken, be it spicy or original. Each piece was marinated overnight in a secret combination of herbs and spices, giving it a tantalizing aroma. The crispy crust gave way to juicy and tender meat that was bursting with flavour. It was no wonder that Jasmine couldn't resist going back for seconds.
3. Chicken Burgers and Nuggets
To add a touch of fast-food indulgence to the celebration, we included juicy chicken burgers and crunchy chicken nuggets. The soft buns for our Spicy Chicken McDeluxe were lightly toasted to perfection, providing a slight crispness that contrasted beautifully with the succulent lip-smacking, flaming hot chicken patties. Topped with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and mayonnaise, it was lit! The nuggets, golden and crispy on the outside, revealed moist and tender chicken on the inside with every bite. These 20 pieces of nuggets were a must-have during each of our fast food indulgences.
4. Delectable Domino's Pizzas
We made sure to order 2 regular pizzas from Domino's, with their signature cheese-stuffed crust. Each pizza was a work of art, generously topped with an assortment of mouthwatering ingredients. From the classic tuna chunk pizza with gooey mozzarella cheese to our favourite one packed with pepperoni slices, every slice was a burst of flavour. The cheese-stuffed crust added an extra element of indulgence, making each bite even more satisfying than the last, especially when you enjoyed them during your birthday!
Beary Birthday Cake-A Chocoholic's Dream Cake
No birthday celebration is complete without a cake, and Jasmine's special chocolate birthday cake was a true masterpiece. Adorned with a huge white chocolate teddy bear, complete with fairy lights, it captivated everyone's attention, especially hers of course. The rich aroma of chocolate filled the room as we gathered around the table.
Ordered from Chef K, the cake itself was a creation of pure decadence. Layers upon layers of moist chocolate sponge were generously slathered with velvety chocolate ganache (I think). Each forkful of the cake was simply heavenly. The bittersweetness of the dark chocolate dovetailed really well with the creamy sweetness of the ganache. It was incredibly luscious! It was a chocoholic's dream come true if you ask me.
Heavenly Homemade Desserts
Besides the scrumptious main course and cake, my wife also prepared some delightful treats that added an extra touch of sweetness to the celebration.
1. Decadent Chocolate Tarts
These homemade chocolate tarts were big bites of pure indulgence. The buttery crusts crumbled delicately under the weight of the luscious chocolate filling. Each bite was an explosion of rich cocoa flavours, perfectly balanced with a hint of sweetness. Topped with a sprinkle of chocolate rice, they were too irresistible if you ask me!
2. Delicious Strawberry Jellies
The vibrant strawberry jellies were a refreshing treat amidst all the chocolatey goodness. Made with real strawberries (imported ones ok! 😂), each jelly was bursting with fruity goodness. The natural sweetness of the strawberries shone through, creating a delightful contrast to the rich chocolate desserts.
Gifts Galore and Uncontainable Joy
Jasmine's face lit up with pure delight as she unwrapped her birthday presents. From ang pow to special notebooks adorned with adorable stickers, each gift brought a smile to her face. Her big brother Jordan also crafted a special birthday card that made her so happy. One of the highlights of the day was her enormous surprise gift – the Sylvanian Family's Milk Rabbit family set.
Jasmine girl discovering her birthday presents like a treasure hunt!
As she opened the beautifully wrapped box, her eyes widened in disbelief. Inside were miniature figurines of adorable rabbits – a complete Milk Rabbit family set from Sylvanian Families. There were four rabbits in the set: Father Rabbit, Mother Rabbit, Brother Rabbit and Sister Rabbit. Jasmine couldn't contain her excitement as she carefully examined each of her brand-new rabbits. The intricate details on their tiny clothes and expressive faces brought them to life in her imagination. These 4 rabbits go well with the Baby Milk Rabbit that she already had. Now they are a complete Milk Rabbit family of 5. 🥰
But the biggest surprise awaited Jasmine girl as she opened the final gift – the magnificent Sylvanian Families Red Roof Country Home with Secret Attic Playroom toy set. Her eyes sparkled with pure joy as she gazed at the beautifully crafted doll house. It stood tall, with its red roof shining brightly, promising endless hours of imaginative play. The secret attic playroom added an element of mystery and adventure that thrilled Jasmine beyond words.
Her facial expressions ranged from astonishment to pure happiness as she hugged the cute little figurines tightly and explored every corner of her new toy set. It was a moment that will forever be etched in our memories. I am glad that my wife and I had decided to buy this huge doll house for her.
Cherishing Precious Moments
The birthday celebration was not just about the food and gifts; it was about cherishing the precious moments we shared as a family. Laughter filled the air as we played games, told stories, and reminisced about cherished memories from years past. Seeing Jasmine's happiness and hearing her contagious laughter brought immeasurable joy to our hearts.
Grateful for Our Blessings
As parents, my wife and I feel incredibly blessed to have such an adorable daughter like Jasmine. Her infectious enthusiasm and mischievous nature bring endless laughter into our lives. Each birthday celebration is a reminder of how lucky we are to have her in our family – a source of love and joy that brightens our days.

Jasmine's 12th birthday celebration at home was truly a day filled with love, laughter, and happiness. From the fragrant aroma of McDonald's Nasi Lemak to the mouthwatering indulgence of fried chicken and Domino's pizzas, every dish was carefully selected to delight her taste buds. The chocolate birthday cake adorned with huge white chocolate bear created a magical atmosphere, and the homemade chocolate tarts and strawberry jellies added an extra touch of sweetness.
The gifts she received brought uncontainable joy and excitement as she unwrapped each one, but it was the Sylvanian Family's Milk Rabbit family set and Red Roof Country Home toy set that stole the show. Her expressions of astonishment and happiness will forever be etched in our memories.
