Before everyone headed off for the holidays, the Singaloreans got together at Margaret and Chris' place for possibly the last major get together for 2006. Theme: Christmas. Gift exchange being part of the programme, a tradition here for a while now.
And what a feast we had! Almost everyone who could cook made something. Marge was the chief contributor, with the soup, o-cha chicken, ginger pork and veg. Neo braised the pork belly (there is now a running joke that the pork is never fat enough). Kah Ming
samballed the prawns and Saritha curried the pomfret. Ser Joo
ching'd the
tng. This was arguably the best food at our parties thus far.
Those of us that are challenged in the culinary department took care of the 'more important' aspect of any successful party i.e. the various elixirs of life. What's Christmas without eggnog and Bacardi Breezers... hahaha or should that be hohoho?
And of course some were there early enough to in indulge in one of the favourite past times of the far east, mahjong. There was so much food left over that a marathon MJ session was held so that the food could be consumed as supper. These revellers apparently only called it a 'night' at 5.30am. Needless to say, a good time was had by one and all.

Wow!! I am so envious! The food looks good!
LOL. Tern looks so professional at the mj table. My goodness. N they played to 530am? Poor Marg!
Yes, the food was excellent. One couldn't help but overeat. I think Mrge went to bed before the end.
From the looks of the dishes, you guys in bangalore are not missing anything back home. I'm just very surprised there are so many good cooks - more importantly, so many good cooks willing to cook!
sorry, earlier post was mine...just didn't recognise my own name. Haha. :(
Well... some are indeed willing contributors while others have to be coerced into it, under threat of excommunication by the Singaloreans... ;)
