Thursday was a day of reckoning for all of our collective dieting habits. The 2 Departments in our area ganged-up and threw ourselves a Merdeka Raya celebration.
Decked in our Hari Raya best, the event started in earnest with a Doa' session led by our own Ustaz Suhaimi and followed by speeches from our respective Managers.
Then we ate, loads.
Starter - Rojak Buah with Kuah Petis and assortment of crisps & keropoks.
 |
Rojak Buah - Cucumbers, Jicama, Pineapple, Papaya, Mango, Kedondong,
Starfruit, and more! |
Main Courses - Nasi Kerabu with Solok Lada, Daging Bakar and Ikan Goreng, Soto Ayam, Sayur Lodeh with Ketupat and Sambal Tumis Sotong, Nasi Impit & Kuah Kacang and Pulut Kuning with Chicken Rendang.
 |
Mulakan dengan sedikit rojak buah, sebelum membantai yang selebihnya!
Lodeh, Nasi Impit, Sambal Sotong, Kuah Kacang and banyak lagi. |
 |
| Nasi Kerabu and friends! |
 |
| Pulut Kuning with Kari Ayam Kick! |
Dessert - Carrot Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese frosting, Marble Cheese cake, Steamed Chocolate Cake, Pudding with Fruit Cocktail, Kuih Serimuka & Koleh Kacang, Puding Santan & Gula Melaka, Neapolitan Ice Cream, Cookies, Candies and fruits.
 |
| Junk food! Yeah!! |
 |
| Nescafe Kaww & Orange Juice. |
 |
Piece de resistance : Carrot Cake with Lemon Cheese Frosting.
This was SO good on so many levels, it was ridiculous. |
 |
| Dessert counter with some fruits - Mata Kucing & Limau Bali |
We went really bonkers with the food and the whole event was one giant eating layered with more eating and interspersed with laughter.
I have often been part of activities such as this, but this one in particular was really really fun as it honestly felt like a get-togther of long time friends.

The crazy ladies who lovingly accepted us into their fold (and initiated the makan makan!)
They rock!! |
