peony.party

blessed with a really warm summer weather on saturday, you set off to a party, a peony party to be exact. in reality, the peony is not yet in bloom at the host's house but that doesn't stop the party and get together from happening.

the theme for food as usual becomes a little mixed as you all are craving for so many things. the main theme is dim sum, but the dutch-men need malaysian flare and thus the mamak style nasi lemak is on the menu as well as the bbq.

the house is facing a lake, with a deck directly by the water where garden sofas are located. the creative host made some paper peonies and hanging them on the terrace umbrella to live up the theme.

 in the kitchen, you are busy wrapping the gyoza and then pan frying them for lunch

other food are being warm up as well, this is a super spicy satay sauce - very spicy even to your spicy index ^^

meanwhile, out there at the deck, bbq has started with roasted pork belly, german's brad worst and ayam pericik

the kids started with their lunch first

while yummy ayam pericik is ready to be served

 second round of bbq with beef and chicken satay begin

adults chatting and moving casually to the dining table too...

mamak style curry chicken, good to go with the nasi lemak

the nasi lemak condiment, sambal ikan bilis, fried anchovies, cucumber, and the buns also being served at the same time. your appetite is more gear towards the malaysian  galore and so you attack mainly the nasi lemak and the bbq.

siew yuk (roasted pork belly) anyone? the texture is a little different as the pork is cooked at the bbq than your usual method, meat has a little moist fat content that you are not used to. but nonetheless the taste is the same.

there are more food for lunch then what you can capture with your camera. at some points you were carried away by the food and the breeze that you did nothing but just enjoy your food and chats.

more stories on food and the great day to be continue...
