Another Family Get Together

 

Top: Fried tofu with meat topping  
Bottom: Stingray and okra curry and
bitter gourd with egg


We hadn't met for over six months and I'm glad my cousin took the initiative to set up a lunch get together recently.  Only four of us - an aunt, two cousins (sisters) and myself. and the venue was a Hakka restaurant which we often patronise.  My cousin ordered a few of our favourite dishes (above), however, halfway through, the sky darkened and it looked like heavy rain was about to descend on us! We rushed out to our cars to get our umbrellas but it turned out to be a false alarm!  The sun burst through in a short while and we were lucky to have a cool breeze fanning us as we ate.  To conclude, we had a delightful chilled dessert - a mix of peach gum resin, shredded nutmeg, mint leaves and slices of lime and lemon.  It was the first time we had tried it and it was really refreshing!


Dessert


It's always good to chat over food that you like and we talked about everything, from cars to aching limbs!  We shall have to do this more often!
