4th Long Table Dinner...

Cheesy prawns, swimming in Cheddar and Pepper Jack...
On the 20th of Decemeber, hubby's friend suggested for a reunion dinner at our place, with hubby cooking the scrumptious food. Me, the wife, started preparing and marinating all the meat at 1p.m. So, I started standing at the kitchen from then until 6:30p.m. Dinner starts at 6:30p.m. Usually we were very punctual because by 6:30p.m. I would be very hungry. But then, due to some unforeseen circumstances, our dinner only started at 8p.m. as the rest of them arrived at that time. Only two people were punctual. 
The two Yang Berhormat....
Those two are Yang Berhormat from Barisan Nasional. But because they are in the house not because they are some politicians, there's no first class treatment. They had to wait for more than an hour for the rest of their old friends to arrive. If I were to serve them first, it wouldn't look nice anymore. These two were hubby's ex-classmates since 7 years old. They have been friends for more than 40 years. So, that's it la. Nothing to shout about unless it's the Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng in my house for dinner then I think there will be a stampede in my house. While waiting for the rest to arrive, we couldn't do anything except to stare at the food.
Jackfruit salad with coral....
Mi mama made this jackfruit salad with dunno what corals. The corals were tasteless. The taste depended on the sweetness of the jackfruit shreds. I ate the jackfruit only. So, for this time round, hubby cooked everything. It's like in the television show where the chef has a helper who passed the bowl and the chef only dumped the content of the bowl into the wok and started frying. That's what I did then. I passed and barked a whole lot of instructions and hubby only started cooking at 4:30p.m. while I have been in the kitchen for many hours. 
Curry meat...
Pork with lotus seeds and lotus roots...
Mixed vege with pickled lettuce...
Kimchi lala....
Empress tofu with my favourite abalone slices...
Thai style chicken with lemongrass...
Steamed stuffed cucumber....
I'm getting really tired to type each photo with paragraphs of information. Nothing much to talk about except that those were really delicious food with localized taste. They are authentic Chinese dishes which we enhanced the flavours with various type of seasoning. Finally, we gobbled down the food when all of them have arrived. People seem to get really lost coming to our place. Is it that difficult to look for our place? 
You know how we serve people usually? It's four to a table. So there were only three of us right at the far end. My precious wanted us to sit three person together so we could have more food. In the end, the three of us ate more than the rest of any of them. This only proves that we're really big eaters. Oh, the rest of the extra food, my neighbours had them for another week. At least she didn't need to cook after a long day at work.

Thank you all for coming. My hubby is very happy to serve all of you.
