Saturday Evening Barbecue And A Peranakan Party

Last night I had two eating events back-to-back. First was a poolside barbecue in the late afternoon, then a Peranakan-themed party in the evening.

It was supposed to be a Japanese-themed barbecue, but it was not feasible in the end, so everyone just whipped up something, like sauce / dip, curry, sausages, and of course, barbecued prawns and chicken wings!

The special sauce / dip

Barbecued food - sausages and corn

But the best was the dessert - Japanese green tea ice cream and black sesame ice cream! Unfortunately, I did not manage to snap any photos of those.

After the casual barbecue, we adjoined to where the fun of the evening began - the Peranakan-themed party! My friend is really a wonderful cook! We had authentic Peranakan food and Peranakan games like Indonesian / Malay songs and name games like how to address one's family members in the Peranakan way.

It was a great party with great food! I must really learn how to cook Peranakan food so I can continue partaking in the delicious gastronomical concoctions!
