Porridge Party on 27 Jun '13

There is a saying 'when the cat is out, the mice come out and play..' As for us, we did a 'porridge party'..

Though we have already decided tat each of us will contribute an item and will only have 6 - 7 dishes, we ended up having 14 dishes for 6 pax..

D went to the market and bought quite a few items for us like squids, tofu, vegetables and salted eggs.

1) We placed the squids in the microwave to heat it up a bit..

2) The cold tofu with heated minced meat..

3) Our usual dish but it is cheese luncheon meat this round..

4) Contibuted by J's mum.. She cooked this early in the morning.. Fried egg with cai po..

5) Also contributed by J's mum.. Meat cooked with caixin..

6) Youtiao bought by YC..

7) Salted eggs.. Pardon the ugliness of the outlook of the egg..

8) Vegetarian Gluten meat with peanuts..

9) Anchovies heated up in the microwave..

 10) Cai po..

11) Contributed by D's mum.. Wu xiang..

12) Wanted to eat this but we were too full from other dishes.. Hence, it still remain in this packaging.. Ba hu..

13) Contributed by D.. Fermented tofu.. 

14) Our overall dishes with the bowls of porridge..

                                         

15) We have the cooked vegetables but I was too busy eating till I have forgotten to take pic of it.. We managed to cook it after putting it into the rice cooker to cook.. We placed it in the microwave initially but it was not cooked instead..

The porridge was cooked by mummy YC and we were glad tat the portion of the porridge was just enough for everyone.. We were too stuffed by the last round of porridge with sweet potato.

We were glad tat we did not open too many cans of canned food but we have quite a few of home-made dishes instead..

I am still quite full from the lunch plus the earlier on breakfast..

Overall, it was a happy lunch.. :)

Our seafood trip on 1 Jun '13
