Good Makan2 With Good People

Sunday we had good makan,small group of people about 40 turned up. Happy to see people eat your own cooking,all penat lelah berbaloi,it was no "David Tutera party" but nice gathering with people we know and like.Since mama cooked alone with no help except heni,mama planned food yang tak meletihkan to cook,here mama would like to share few tips: if you are cooking for group of people around 50 and you are alone without any help, avoid cooking food that preparation cannot be made the nite before like,nasik type,mee goreng etc,those you need to cook near eating time.Mama cooked nasik impit with lodeh and sambal,spaghetti bolognese,tomyam and homemade lemonade. Nasik impit can be cooked the nite before,all ingredient for tomyam and kuah lodeh can be shared,chop all the veges and keep in the fridge,chop your onion,your chicken etc and keep allso in a fridge,mama cooked around 8 in the morning alone with 2 naughty and super active girls,papa went office as he had to finish his paper, by 10.30am mama finished all the cooking and guess will only come around 3pm, mama had ample of time.Prepare all other items that your need the nite before too,like putting cookies in jars,spoons and forks in basket,plate and cup in its place,serviette in its stand.After you have finished cooking you can cut the cake, have sometimes for yourself,bathe your kids,feed them so that they wont be hungry.It was a good day yesterday and mama hopes all the guess feel the same too.

Sunday morning.

The table was only used after 5pm as it was hot before that.It was a simple setting,mama went to our new house at monterez on Saturday,our neighbour in the bungalow called party planner for their open house,they have mobile toilet placed outside the gate!..big screen,lights hanging from the trees and their white tents was placed near the golf course amidst the greenery.Really impressive!

Ni tetamu kecik..bangun jer pagi tu dah seronok.

Tia happynyerr..ketawa hilang mata lagi..

All 3 of them were summoned to have breakfast at the kitchen that morning so that they wont make a mess at the dining table..hahh..haaa..uwan was overnite at maklang place,belum balik lagi.

The 3 Companies really makan pasta banyak..mama so happy..ni semua tukang test food ni..so pasta dah approve to go.

Mia and Tia love the pasta very much..mama used to add pepper to the pasta now with the 2 around tak boleh la..

nasik impit dah readyyy..

The super hot and spicy tomyamm..

After mama took tomyam's foto..semua gambar pun ada kabus punya effect kat tepi due to camera kena steam tomyam.

See the kabus effect..kak ikin with masrina,anak sedara wan nor mama punya housemate yang supposed to come..but kelakarnya,ada miscommunication,mama thought she's coming down from Kedah yesterday but she's coming next week..tak pe lah ada rezki jumpa lagi..it was really nice meeting up with masrina yesterday,she got twin sons.

The cookies..

The plain butter cake is nice,mama bought from bakery yang mama suka..they are homemade..moist and yummy.

The tiny guess with big eyes..so cute this girl.
