Dad's Specialties....

Remember my recent Chap Goh Meh trip home? We had a CNY Gathering cum Birthday Party for S2? Initially, we wanted to cater but they required a minimum order for 50 pax which was kinda too many. My Dad offered to prepare a BBQ..... which turned out to be waaaaaay more than a BBQ. We had the following fare plus much much more. Because I was summoned to entertain the guests rather than taking photographs, I missed out some of the food. So what was missing from my photos were:
1) Yue Sang
2) BIL's Roast Pork
3) The BBQ Food. Yes...we still had a BBQ fare of chicken, pork and chicken sausages, lamb, tiger prawns, sweetcorn, baked potato, garlic bread...


Fried Hokkien Mee and Mee Siam

What happened to all the food??
(Was kinda late to whip out my camera...only managed to when food all "gasak-ed")

Platter of Mixed Fruits


As usual, the food was very yummy.

GOOD JOB, DAD!
And Thanks for all your hard work!
Though the food was yummilicious, there were leftovers. I told dad that if he does professional catering, sure lose money one....cause he doesn't know how to estimate the amount of food, plus he always want to "ka-liu"! Hehehehe...

Oh yeah...not to forget....

S2's Football Cake

hey, i thot i left u a long comment to say i can see where u get your culinary skills from?! what a spread, so scrumptious, so sumptuous, surely better than if u had catered for this double celebration of S2's b'day n to wrap up CNY. i was also drooling over your reunion dinner earlier!

does your dad bake too, or maybe just u?

Health Freak mommy - Thanks.
Actually, there was more. Just that didn't manage to take the photos. Think it's a chinese thing ...to have more food than really needed.

Wen - Dad loves to cook...and I think he likes to hear "Uncle. Your food is very good!" hahahaha

bp - Dad loves to cook. But he does mainly chinese food. So he doesn't bake lor.
