Good food, excellent host

Last Saturday, i was invited to a new friend's open house. A very nice and friendly friend whom i got to know through a cake decorating class sometime ago.

We didn't keep in touch since then until i texted this new friend for festive greeting since she was celebrating her Raya :)

The first thing that hit me when we first arrived was her house.

It was beauttiiful and very modernised. Totally unexpected. Now, i dare not invite this new friend over to my house anymore! Too malu ah.. :P

As i had imagined, this new friend was still as friendly as ever. We hit it off from the beginning, once more, as though we had been some friends for years already. We yak and yak.. and the food, whoa.. very the sedap i tell you.. *drool*

The pretty house and yummy food + kpo boy :P

We had nasi briyani with 2 meat dishes. Oh, there was salad too. And not forgetting, a countless kind of cookies and cakes, all made, baked, cooked by the new friend.

This chicken dish is so unforgettable!

Ayam masak merah

Very spicy. The chicken is fried till just right, with juices retained unlike some stalls outside, fried till all dried up. I really do feel like attempting this myself after getting some cooking tips for the 'shifu' :P

As for the kids, they had the rice with a little bit of the beef dish.. which is just a little bit spicy.

The beef.. so tender! I suspect this dish has been slowly cooked for hours with love hence, the beef has that 'fall apart easily' effect in the mouth.. Heh.



Now, the best part is the cookies and cakes. But it was so unfortunate that i didn't get to eat the very fanciful cakes at all.. because the lovely 2 tier serving plate got moved here and there to various groups so, kinda paiseh to just walk up and take a few slices. The face skin not thick enough ah! :Ppp

Nevertheless, devouring the cookies made up to it.

Different kind of cookies.. the green one with peanut filling is absolutely divine! Melt in the mouth and then suddenly, crunch peanut filling. Yumsssssssss~

One of the friend's husband colllection. So cool yeah? Too bad i forgot about the Hard Rock one.. Dang!

Finally, us.. with our new friend :)

We all looked kinda worn out because we were in the hospital earlier for nearly 3 hours!

I call her Kak Siti.. It sounds better and more respectful but i wonder if that's okie with her because i do know some might find it offensive, mainly because it made them seemed so old like that but of course, that wasn't what i meant at all.. I better ask this friend what she prefers because i don't wanna seem rude :P

And last but not least, green ang pows for the boys. Their very first green ang pows... Previous visit to hb's collegue place, we got red ang pows instead of green. So, that doesn't count ya!


What a lovely day..

Because of the 1 sms sent, i had so much more in return especially a new friendship with this nice new friend. I am so glad :D
