confluent.of.cuisine

you don't know how to call this post but it's basically everyone bring a dish kinda dinner gathering with the theme of nasi lemak.  however, as it gets nearly, the theme evolved with teochew feast and at the end the table is overflow with the confluent of both nasi lemak aroma and scent of teochew dishes and a hint of thai and hong kong.

 the food at the beginning, mostly prepared by the host

 the nasi lemak 2.0 along with roti jala

 the scent of teochew with the soy braised duck and the peanut

 and everything else including the ma-poh tofu, store bought roast duck, soy braised chicken

 a refreshing thai papaya salad

 the dinner also turned out to be a surprise birthday celebration for a dear friend who just had her birthday a day before the dinner

and let alone, endless flow of the wine supply... a number of you mingled till midnight and return home reluctantly.
this really reminds you of your time in hong kong where this sort of dinner gathering with wine were common occurrence. it's been a long while...

keeping this short as tomorrow you are bound for a business trip.
