X'mas eve
dinner at Chong Peng's. This was planned like a month
before I think. Chong Peng invited us all to his
place. In the end, only me and Wei Shan can make it.
Well...
Anyway, We ordered the traditional turkey from NTUC FairPrice (Halal by the way) 2 weeks ago. The plan was that I am to collect it on the eve of x'mas at noon and then heat it up at my place using my mom's microwave oven.
Got home after getting my fabulous free phone from Starhub. Popped the turkey in the microwave oven, set it at Medium heat level, and for 20 minutes.
Picked up Wei Shan at her place and off we go to Chong Peng's place. She got Log cake from Prima Deli!
It was fun and interesting preparing the turkey. Chong Peng showed Wei Shan around his new apartment.
Turkey was good. There's the sauce as well the stuffings.
The turkey was too big actually for the 4 of us to finish. I suggested the couple to keep for the whole of next week's dinner. Stir fry.
After that we played Dai Di. I have never played card poker card games. Well what we are playing is not poker. And no we didn't gamble. The 3 of them were very patient in teaching me how to play, the rules and all. We played a few rounds before I got the hang of it. won 2 of the games! Hahahaha beginner's luck I guess!
After that we cut the log cake! Its delicious I tell you! Mocha flavoured cream. The cake is soft, the cream is not overwhelmingly creamy or thick, and its not too sweet. Perfect.
Chong Peng and his wife gave us both X'mas presents. Man, I felt bad cos I didn't think about giving anybody presents.
I don't celebrate x'mas you see, so it didn't occur to me that I would be getting presents from anybody.
Damn I felt bad. Well there will always be next year to make amends.
All in, I enjoyed the dinner and most of all the company.
