Birthday Celebration

Well I'll have a early birthday celebration with my friends. I've waited this day to come by. From early of this year till today I'll spend much money treating or giving gifts to friends on their birthday celebration.

Now this is my turn...to request something from them....since my friends are asking me where/what cuisine I like. Hmmm...upon thinking...I've give them some option to choose.

"As I'm having sore throat lately, I prefer food which are not heaty. I would like having a buffet dinner or steamboat or Japanese food or etc."

I'm not that cruel to ask something exorbitantly expensive food in the town. At least I give them other option....beside than what i've requested by putting the words "etc..."

But so far my friends haven't come back to me where they are will celebrating my birthday!

Is my request too much?
