Hosting an iftar session

Phew… I had a full and tiring weekend but with a blast. As requested by few friends, I managed to host an iftar session on Saturday. There were supposed to be around 9 guests but only 5 turned up; Sal, Lin, Yus, Nasrol and Nora. Lin had to leave early coz her parents came all the way from Ipoh so I packed the food for her; token for a diligent assistant cook.

My weekend started as early as 4.45am on Saturday. Wake up for sahur, did the laundry, wash the guest bathroom and clean the kitchen. Now who would wash a bathroom as early as 5.30am; except me huh. Went back to sleep by 7am and wake up for real at 9am. I started with sweeping and mopping the floor, tidying here and there, wash the master bathroom and I’m finally done by noon. I went out after Zohor to fill up the fuel, took some cash, paid my credit card and bank-in some money. Reached home around 3pm and immediately kick off with the cooking.

I managed to cook tom yam, udang masak lemak and ikan pari bakar. Someone was supposed to make a desert but something went wrong thus spoiling the mood of that someone too. I noticed the sour faced ok. Haha..

While I was busy at work, they had fun with photo shoot. Not fair ok because no one took my photos. Huh! Anyway, everything went smoothly; Alhamdulillah the taste was ok because it’s my 1st attempt cooking udang masak lemak and tom yam in bigger scale. My 1st tom yam was on Friday; had to practice first ok. Hehe… One thing that hampers my excitement was the amount of tom yam leftovers. As I said it’s my 1st attempt cooking in large scale so I don’t know how to budget the ingredients.

To everyone who came, thanks and I hope you enjoyed the food. Next time we’ll do it again eh.
