the 8 course wedding dinner!
no one got married, there wasn't a cold lobster platter and shanghai tang entrance music. but it was a damn solid 8 course dinner that the singaporeans- shane, tristan, val, doreen, karen, sam, myself, weicheng, nic, junjie cooked and washed for tonight.
voila!
serving up: mee kia, garlic stir-fry tang orh (the first time im eating tang orh willingly), 2 types of curry chicken (thank you sam's mom for shipping them over!!), baked chicken (marinated with oyster sauce and black pepper- damn good, even if the marinade was a mere afterthought), siewmai (bought that frozen, but nobody cared coz it tasted like home), fried luncheon meat (i repeat luncheon meat) and then an apple & cinnanon cake from the famous lagkagehuset.
skol!* (loosely translated to YAAAMMMMSSEENNGGG AAARRHHHH! which all singaporeans know)
nic working at frying his luncheon meat in its own lard and sam doing his curry, karen trying out a piece of luncheon meat, sam getting his polo splattered with curry sauce, nic still frying (well, there was alot of luncheon slices anyway), weicheng waiting for the siewmai to microwave, tristan and karen helping to set up the table, what was doreen trying to do here??, jiajin trying to pull the siewmai apart, val and nic preparing the curry.
kameron and val checking out the baked chicken (kam is one excellent accidental cook, anyhow turn the dial and whack the timing also can whip up tender chicken), our mee kia cooked by doreen, the food before we started to attack it, nic getting first dibs on the curry chicken, the food after we're done with it (wasted, no bread to wipe up the curry goodness), the mass washing up done coincidentally by all the black shirts, kam cutting up the cake since she's the only sept baby and finally the cake in all its glory.
retrospect: it was so fun! we missed you cuili!!! ive always wondered what it would be like getting together and cooking once im overseas after seeing pictures upon pictures of students doing the steamboat in SEP adverts, but cooking an 8 course dinner is something altogether different. the camaraderie replete with lame-o jokes, poking fun at chinese schools, sharing each others lives and anecdotes, and of course travelling information is hard to replicate. im really glad we contacted the SMU people going to copenhagen business school, and just hanging out. doreen, you've got a terrific place to do massive singaporean cookouts! i'm volunteering my rendang mix the next time we make a wedding dinner, so mom, if you're reading this, prepare to fly in some more prima, asian home gourmet, my mum's and brahmin's! see, roshni, come to copenhagen ok! i would love to have you here!
and weiyee, you spend too much time with horses already. you're becoming one!
