The chefs of the night. Amazing Talents.
A combination of cubed lamb cooked gently in mildly spiced yoghurt with chopped fresh mint and flaked almonds. We substituted mint with cilantro, my absolute favourite garnish.
These wings are addictive and really easy to make! Perfect for BBQs too. Recipe below.
This little thing here is 95% fresh crab meat. Lavish.
Succulent and tasty pacific prawns marinated in lemon juice and spices on our newly acquired porcelain spoons from Sia Huat. Recipe below.
Homemade Otah with coconut cream and garnish
These are the hot favourites of the night. Packed in these beautiful mussel shells are fragrant jasmine rice cooked in thai spices and the juice reduction from the mussels. Finish it off with some fried shallots and finely shredded mint.
I named it Ballicious for the lack of a better name. Inside each tiny little cupcake ball are SIX ingredients: Chicken, prawn, squid, crab, fish and pork! Created by my 2nd aunt, it's a whole ball of effort! The red vs. green garnish denotes spicy vs. non-spicy. And then there's another whole lot of them that's without prawns cos grandma and mummy's allergic to them.
The only dish made by yours truly. It's the simplest of the lot, but I've got quite a number of good reviews too! Simple, healthy and real easy. Thankfully I had the help of my little black plates to dress them up. 
This dish came up cos 2nd aunt made these cute looking little pastry cups and we didn't want to let it go to waste. So 3rd aunt "casually" whipped up a cream of button mushroom and red and green capsicum and walah! Yum.
Check out my new addition! I absolutely adore this piece of dishware. In it are the 3 dips we experimented with. Green naturally being the guacomole, orange is the grilled vegetables and lastly the button mushroom. These gooey looking stuff have such amazing and robust flavour. I love the grilled veg, sister loved the button mushroom.
Dessert! I'm not really a dessert person but one thing I'm always excited about are these. I was introduced to Yoplait's Fresh Cheesecake Yoghurt and was hooked since. It's the BEST yoghurt I've ever tasted. Pair it with any fresh berries and muesli, you're on your way to a hearty dessert!
Lovely Jelly Hearts. The only thing that was bought.
Mango Sago with Pomelo and a dash of evaporated milk. Could have been sweeter though.That's the end! I hope you're hungry now.
