New Year Party @ EB's
>> Tuesday, January 5, 2010
Date: 1st January 2010, Friday
Venue: EB's place
Occasion: New Year's Day party
What better way than to start the new year with great food & even greater friends! *joy* A group of us gathered at EB's place for a simple dinner. Everyone brought something to be shared & oh, it was really good! (feels & sounds like the church during the time of Acts *smiles*) We discovered many "hidden chefs" & I am surprised that so many of my guy friends can cook so well! *bravo!!*
After a superb meal, we chilled out, caught up with each other, & had several rounds of blasting fun with the "Taboo" game! I was rolling on the floor laughing 'til my stomach hurts....oh, I haven't had such fun for a VERY long time! Too bad I was too engrossed into the games that I didn't pick up the camera for a few shots :P Thank you, my precious friends from PJ Trinity!!! *hugs!!* You all made me feel very much at home with the PJ Trinity friends after a long while of feeling 'foreign' :)
Here are some photos that I managed to take...enjoy!
(he aspires to be a "bak kua" seller, so this is the beginning of his dream!! *lol)
Hahaha....Chef James doesn't have a name for this dish...it's just basically vegetables & mushrooms topped with cheese :) It's SUPER yummy!! I'm SO gonna try it out myself!
I find this lovely :) Feels "homey" to see the lil dish baking in a small oven
*applause!* Dig in!
It was snapped up so quickly! *yums* Pork sausages rocks!
Very simple dish, but it gave the plain salmon an interesting & different touch :) Bake-away!
The pie pastry was slightly too thick at the base, but on the overall, it was delicious :) Best eaten warm :P *chomp chomp*
According to Len, the cranky & wonky grill was inconsistent with its heat, so there you go, charred bread *rofl* Oh well, Ruth took over to help poor Len flip the bread pieces to near perfection :P
Ooo...this was pretty good! It's something very different from the usual Shepherd's pie with minced chicken or beef + mixed vegetables. The corned beef tasted very much like luncheon meat! (for a luncheon meat lover like yours truly, oh, you'll love this....potatoes+corned beef = happy Ruth!)
I was quite pleased with my salad...hahaha...it's simple & yummy :) *dances around with joy* Thank goodness I didn't bring any meat/carbs dish as we had so many of those! :D
This was the bomb! Roasted to perfection....ah, *drools* simply irresistable....*chants: we want more...we want more....*
Simple pasta dish that pleased everyone at the party :)
A party without these is no party man! *woots*
Everyone was in a "happy" state after the sumptuous meal. The chilling-out time & just catching up with each other was awesome :)
Chris' head looks as if it emits light *lol*
Samson, EB, Pheng - they look mafia-ish since they're all wearing black :P
Some of our friends were glued to the tv & the Wii!
Happy people, ready to dig into "happy" food....
Super sweet, extremely chocolatey, indescribably smooth chocolate mousse (if I'm not mistaken) made by Esther, co-owner of William's mamak in Taman Mayang Mas, PJ. Apparently Esther loves baking & could bake great cakes & cookies. This was too sweet for a non-sweet tooth like me! Hahaha...but it was goooooood.....
Bananas + Coffee + Caramel in a pie...*fuh* Can go "high"....
She took one recipe from the internet & walla! an amazing tiramisu appeared :D *applause* This tiramisu wasn't too bad...sweet-tooth people will lurve it at any time ;)
Looking at photos of all the delicious food made you hungry, eh? Everyone was "high" by the end of the party.... (high in sugar, high in carbs, high in laughter) I miss the party! I want more of it! Told EB that it would be fantastic to gather for such things from time to time :D Oh, what a lovely start to the new year :)
