X'mas Lunch 2008


First, a very big thank you to Aunt Jacq and Uncle Kong for hosting this year's X'mas lunch at their very cosy place. Second, we had lots of great food: pizza, leg of ham, roast turkey, cheesecake (Aunt Jacq and Uncle Kong), otar, chicken wings, satay, fish cake etc (Bro GH), log cake and golden nuggets (Aunt Sherry, Sinclair and Jiajia), achar (Uncle and Aunt Keong), wine (Ben) and salad (GB).

Aunt Jacq personally baked two pizzas and made the cheesecake. The pizzas were tasty and moist with a very light and thin crust. The cheesecake was rich and moist. The log cake was baked by Sinclair and wife and decorated with real gold flakes!

There was so much food that everyone had to 'tabao' turkey and ham back; which contributed to my dinner the day after. Here are the photos.

Lots and lots of food!

What a plump turkey...proved difficult to carve.
I always looked forward to the ham. Loved the fatty bits especially. I found out that Cousin Jia also liked the fatty bits!

My turn to try to carve the bird. No mean task, really. Aunt Jacq was imploring me to 'Love my food' as Charlie Trotter (some famous chef) has taught her.

What a lovely log cake. Delicious too.
It was dad's birthday as well.

Mum also managed to meet up with her primary school friend, who happened to be living in the same block as Aunt Jacq.
