Karen is driving us to Sam Woo's to celebrate her Mom's birthday.


The birthday girl with hubby.


We sat on one side of the table...

Karen bought a mango birthday cake from Red Ribbon -- yum!

My Mom had to pick up her glasses from an optometrist in Cerritos so she invited us out to a buffet she heard about from her friends. Cafe Sierra is located inside the Hilton Universal Hotel. It was terrific!


While we were waiting to be seated, we eyed all the possibilities. Here, my Mom is standing in front of the fresh fruit area.


Here we are, standing in front of the seafood area -- crab legs, shrimp, oysters, etc.

Crab legs galore! I only had one though. It was good.


The sushi area looked great. I was so busy with all the other food that I didn't get a chance to try any of it.


The carved meat station had prime rib, leg of lamb, and Lobster Thermidor.


Here I am with my first plate -- shark fin soup, prime rib and Lobster Thermidor.


Karen's plate looked better -- Peking Duck, jelly fish, eggplant, fried rice, crab legs, and walnut shrimp.


During dinner, a girl took "complimentary" pictures of patrons -- then, she sold us a framed picture of $15. I was going to refuse but my Mom felt sorry for the photographer and bought this picture.


After dinner, we took some pictures around the lobby area.


The ladies -- my sister, Mom and Karen.


When we got home, the girls surprised me with gifts and a birthday pie -- how nice!
