Christmas Lunch

Continuously for two years, I was given the opportunity to experience couple X'mas overseas. When I was still in Penang, my small aunty will always organize an X'mas party. 

I think we can be considered as a big family. Even though we're not Christian, we celebrate X'mas. 

haha.... who cares? as long as you get to gather with friends and family, eat, drink and enjoy~!

This year, my boss asked me to go over to the restaurant for an X'mas lunch. He's originally from the United States and been in Tassie for around 9 years. He first came here with his ex-wife (he REALLY mind the 'EX'!), first in Melbourne, then Tasmania (after they got on a different way).

Well, I was not told to bring anything for the gathering, but, common sense....duh~
I made a supposed-to-be-a-moist-chocolate-mud-cake, but I sieved the mixture after I have mixed them..... which led it becoming a SUPER rich brownie! =____= A HUGE DISAPPOINMENT!!! =(

Well, despite the cake-into-brownies incident, she still deserve a photo

Say "Cho-ko-latt-teh" XP

The signboard which made almost everyone think that my boss' name is Joe...haha

When he first opened the restaurant, which was located at a different location.

Hunter, my boss' son and the kitchen chef&helper.

We sell mainly 'Creole' food, which refers to a variety of mixed cuisine developed by the 'white descendants who settle in Carribean or Central/South of America'. My boss' from Missouri, which is central western of America.

And THEY LOVE SPICES!!!

If you say South East Asians love 'cili padi' a.k.a small hot baby chillies 

I think Jalapeno chillies can be said to be part of Creole food.

Creole...loh lee loh

Mix of Mac-hee-co as well *Mexico*

Enough of crap, LET'S CHECK ON THE FOOD!

flash head!

 The turkey.... with the excess stuffing sitting out there. 

I made this REAL big cause it's my favourite of the whole X'mas lunch!!!

Home made ham!!! Smoked and slow grilled! with brushes of orange juice + brown sugar.
YUM!!! totally divine!

This is called....ermm...erm....

FORGOT!!! hahahaha....

Recipe of this unknown side dish:

A bed of sweet potato,

Sprinkled with brown sugar,

Topped with a few pieces of butter,

Layered with sufficient marshmallow

and

BAKE!

Oh ya! don't forget to sprinkle some Pecan nuts yea!

I CAN'T BELIVE IT IS NOT A DESSERT!!!

It's a side dish! A God-damn side dish! *pardon me~lalala*

It scored 6 out of 10 as a side dish,
but would have made it to 9 if it's a dessert. *persistent*

My boss' daily mood-board, which 's supposed to reflect how he's feeling.
(Act cute~ layan je lah)

Another unique dish below *cough-cough* is called white salad... 

which is quite racist.... ={D

Boss: "Only the whites can eat this,

you honey-coloured asians and 

those charcoal-covered people can't"

*Obviously pulling my leg*
t(=_____ = lll)t hahaha....

I made this large as well not because I love it.... just for you to guess what's inside...

Got it?.....

It's a pleasant day...
