Easter

It's Easter Break here, which means three weeks off uni but definitely still eyeballs deep in work. Still, Pris and I thought it'd be nice to have a small dinner and also kind of use up the giant stock of herbs and spices we brought from home thinking we couldn't get any of them in England. 

SO! We decided to introduce our local friends to Bak Kut Teh (it's basically a pork ribs herbal broth) and for our Malaysian/Singaporean friends a taste of home. Needless to say we all stuffed our faces haha. Thankfully, everyone liked the food and I think that's the best part about cooking - I know it's such a cheesy cliche but it's true - food is best when you share it :) 

This is the soup version of bak kut teh - you can't see the pork ribs but they're in there somewhere!

Stir-fried long beans.

Okay, the soup version is pretty straight forward. The herbs come out of a packet and you follow instructions. But the 'dry' version is a whole different thing and Pris did a great job cooking it. It was SO TASTY!

Our buffet table...

We all sat down after dinner and watched Grease -  which a few of us loved as a kid but watching it now, it was just all too cringy :/ I also got an Easter Bunny from Dan's sister that Rob sang a song about. Something about the bunny meeting its fate...

It was just a nice chilled out evening with seriously good dry bak kut teh thanks to Pris. Anyway, hope you're having a good Easter holiday wherever you are!
