Anjali’s Potluck

Irene got a new toy - a Nikon D40. Jen taking it out for a test drive. Does Irene look concerned? You're not wearing the safety strap, Jen! Hey, stop taking pictures of me taking pictures of you taking pictures of me (and on and on...) Jen: "Hmm.. maybe I should tell S to get me one of these new DSLRs. *Hint* Then, I'll soon be able to shoot photos just like those above my head...hehehe"
Tina made some delicious hot, fluffy tea biscuits on the premises! The biscuits were a perfect foil for the soup! I've been raving about the Hainan Chicken Rice at Phoenix Restaurant, and since I refuse to cook without a gas stove, I brought some Hainan Chicken Rice to the potluck. Yes... I didn't cook.. =P More Hainan Chicken pics, with ginger sauces and Chicken Rice!
Jen's special soup - shrimp bisque! A simple yet flavorful concoction of shrimps and leeks, and yummmmm... half-and-half cream! All diets are put on hold. True to form... I helped myself to several bowls of the bisque soup. A bountiful table... everybody brought something, Anjali cooked 3 dishes + 1 dessert, I brought chicken rice. Tina made biscuits, Jen brought shrimp bisque, Irene brought rice cake dessert, and Brendon brought Sangria! Potato Au Gratin. I usually eat Scalloped Potato Gratin but this mashed version was better and perfect for my tender bite, damn braces!
Celery Stir-Fry.. delicious and from my perspective, very representative of clean, subtle flavorings of Taiwanese cuisine. Lotus roots.. make for good crunchy snacking! Another overhead shot of the cornucopia of delicacies awaiting us!
Yet another overhead shot of the cornucopia of delicacies awaiting us! I know I'm holding up the lunch, just one more shot after this... I promise! It wouldn't be a Taiwanese affair without Lor Bar and Lor Neng.. Taiwanese Stewed Minced Pork with Eggs. The perfect complement to a bed of steamed rice. I really liked Anjali's version! So the kids were talking, and forgot about eating...
I think Tina was showing off how she maintains her trim figure with some weird exercise routine. Tina: "Can you believe the nerve of someone who's 26 telling us that she's really old now?" I don't know why you'd be sensitive to that, Tina.. hehehehe Are we eating yet? P.S. Where's snow-man?
Uhh... guys... eating? yet? Flashing forward, we're now at dessert... Really appetizing creme caramel custard pudding! But I was a bit dissappointed / jealous because... (see next pic) (continuing from previous pic...) Look what Jimmy got! I know Anjali made it with "love", but that's just not fair! Even the plate is lovingly pink! This remind me of the Jimmy Chen "carebear" story.. I'll tell that to you one day, Anjali!
Coffee talk.. with the ladies... More coffee talk.. somehow the topic shifted from "socialist vs. capitalist" to "breast-feeding" o_0; Tina: "Jason, you sure you want to stick around and listen to us discuss breast-feeding?"
The ladies enjoying a moment... Jason is still there. Jimmy does have a good view from his apartment building. Brendon & Irene enjoying the view. Engrossed in conversation. The atmosphere has a coffee-shop "feel". Take that, Starbucks! Jimmy, when are you franchising out.. lol
Unfortunately.. breast-feeding is not a discussion topic that I"m strong at.. (even though I'm interested in some of the contents)... I decided to take photos of "snow-man" instead. Try to see if you can find snow-man in earlier pics! A wonderful moment frozen in picture... Time really flies when you're having fun!
A blurred shot... I wasn't sure if Jason was checking out if this apartment would be perfect for his part-time job... as a sniper assassin! Scary! So I didn't dare ask. This is why I want my own place, a condo is nice too! Yes, amazingly the round dining table seats 8 very comfortably!
A shot from the kitchen Taking more shots of inanimate objects. Jimmy: "I love ING, they have a really nice corporate color theme"
As it gets darker outside... Jimmy: "I still don't think there's anything wrong with wearing ING colors" Anjali: "Yea.. hon... you just keep thinking that."

Description: 01.27.2008. Invite me to an event that promises some good food and I'm there for sure! After the munching and drinking, we all sat around and just talked about anything and everything that came to mind. Good times! Lots of natural lighting in the apartment so I took advantage with my camera. (except for the last few pics when it was getting late, and the light was getting dimmer)
