Celebrating a June Baby Foodie Style!

ypeng, one of ateventure's contributors celebrated her birthday 2 months ago and she threw a steamboat party over at hers.

of course, we started with appetiser.


yes, variety is crucial.


and then, the girls got busy, when you're having something at home, it's almost an unspoken rule that some foodstuff has to be d.i.y made, even if you have a caterer.



karen : you take some mushrooms and then a strip of bacon and then...


done.


ta-dah! our very own bacon wrapped enoki mushrooms.



believe me when i say, this is a regular spread out for any party that either one of us host...especially when it happens at ypeng's.


and our bacon wrapped enoki mushrooms were taken for a swim.


a whole pot of yummylicious goodies!


check out those little orange (heart attack) bombs!


mrs liaw is a super superb woman! i remembered her informing ypeng after the steamboat dinner that there's leftover crabs and they discussed a little bit. i asked ypeng afters if there's something wrong and she told me that crabs cannot be kept overnight so her mum was going to fry them. i thought ohhh...fry already then keep so that she can prepare something with it for hari esok.

little did i know that the noise of pots and pans clattering in the kitchen was mrs liaw cooking a dish itself while we were painting our nails and watching football! at freaking close to E-L-E-V-E-N o'clock at NIGHT!


this was what she whopped up for us in a jiffy! Sweet and Sour Crab @ 11pm! BEAT THAT! (only an excellent cook can do an impromptu dish like that! )


and of course, it was almost as if like we were on cue, grabbed stools, gathered around the table where the crabs were served and just started eating again! with a claw or crab meat inside our mouths, we were saying how great ypeng's mum was and how awesome the crabs tasted! hahaha

it was truly an amazing night! birthdays are awesome!
