…and, it was a little red rose amongst all the delicious layered cake.
Delicious, isn’t it? The layered cake is a firm favourite amongst many although these days it’s getting a little bit too oily for me. Too much butter, I guess. But, the ones that you see above were just nice.
Leftover pictures from the Gawai celebrations.
: : Seattle Coffee : :
It was a bright and cheery late afternoon when I met up with my old supervisor. She was in for a flying visit and a few of us caught up with her last Wednesday at Seattle Coffee located at the Merdeka Palace Hotel. There were a lot of tempting delicacies all around. Believe me, it was hard to control my diet then. Some photos of the sweet and savoury bites.
It was an afternoon of laughter as we all caught up with one another.

It’s been awhile since I last ate here. Had a very late lunch with Min Yen and Leslie a.k.a. Sorceress.
Such a pretty dish, no? This is mee jawa. The one ingredient that makes the mee tastes good is the sauce. I’m not sure how to make it except that it tastes really nice. No, I did not have this but Min Yen did.
Two tempting bowls of ais kacang. One is ABC i.e. everything in it and the other is jagung i.e. just with corn. And I remember two old chaps from Texas complaining about this drink with corn inside it. It’s an Asian thing, ya know.

After reading something like this, I’d rather stick to Kikkoman any day.

: : Gawai : :
Went visiting last night to a collegue’s house. Had too much tuak @ rice wine as usual but it’s only once a year. Anyway, it’s always a fun time at her house with every one chit chatting until quite late and eating as well. With many cheers of ‘ahhhhhh-huuuuuuu!’ instead of Cheers. My collegue is a lovely hostess as well as her family. Some pictures of the food that was served.
A beautifully decorated cake showing a bag of rice and a traditional beaded choker. The details were just amazing. The cake was so attractive and eye-catching that no-one took a piece of it at all. As shown in the cake, it was courtesy of Hilton Hotel. Their bakery is seriously very good
Another Gawai-themed cake, this time showing the intricate designs usually found on wood carvings.
A lot of the children were looking at the golden-wrapped balls and suddenly realising that in the middle of a beautiful table arrangement, it was Ferrero Rocher dangling before their eyes! They also used small pineapple fruit as part of the decor as well as pitcher plants.
It was a nice night of meeting up with friends and their families whom I haven’t seen or mingled in a long while. I forgot how much fun it is just to sit down and make fun of each other.
Anyway, this is Gawai time. A time of good cheer, fun, laughter in the midst of all the tuak!
