Treated to a feast!

This is the first of a few catch-up posts focusing on events that actually happened last weekend (whoops!). I didn't really intend to delay these, but it has actually turned out for the best: we aren't doing anything interesting this weekend (prepping for our move), so these posts will liven things up.

Last Saturday we were invited to the home of Cynthia and Ben (whose marriage in January was our first social event after moving to Hong Kong) for an amazing meal...entirely prepared by Cynthia! Let's take a look...

The near-final spread (more food would come out later!).

Chicken curry

Green papaya salad with fresh shrimp and peanuts

Marinated mushrooms

Eggplant with sesame sauce

A mango black forest cake (from Maxim's bakery)

Homemade chiffon cheesecake (so light and fluffy!)

...and quite a lot more (naan, spaghetti with homemade meat sauce, winter melon soup, etc). Don't worry, we weren't the only people tasked with gobbling up these wonderful dishes - here's a little video which will give you a better idea...

Cynthia did an absolutely wonderful job and we will definitely have to repay the favor.
