Christmas At The Tan’s

Christmas has always been our family favorite season and getting invited to friend’s Christmas party is definitely a plus point. I remembered being invited to hubby’s classmates’ home party was perhaps coupled of years ago. This year, we were blessed and were invited to join the fabulous party at the Tan’s again.

 

This time, they hired a chef to cook the meal for all their guests and we are so excited to be there. When we arrived, most guest had arrived and some of the food was already prepared, and the chef was still busying preparing the rest of the dishes to be served.

 

The host Eric was really efficient to serve us drinks and appetizers when we settled down our gifts for the family and gift exchange for the kids. Dinner was served shortly after some other guest arrived and it was like a buffet style party where everyone stood around and mingled with each other. I got to give thumbs up to the chef for preparing such delicious food for us and the roast beef was the highlight of the party. The meat was super soft and juicy; Lady Faith sneaked away from us to get herself a couple of servings too… hahaahahahah

There was music by Robert and some guest were singing and dancing while the kids had their own play time. I was chilling at the corner enjoying the music and soaking in the atmosphere of Christmas! After dinner, Josse (the wifey) started the gift exchange for the kids and it was great to see all kids smiling after receiving a gift from another child. 😊 

We want to than Eric and Josse for the wonderful Christmas Party and we wish everyone a Blessed Christmas!

Ooohhh… Poached Eggs

I am a great fan of eggs and my girls fell in love with poached eggs when I first introduced them at a café. They just love the oozing egg yolk on their toasted bread, and they have been bugging me to make them at home ever since.

 

I tried making poached eggs while they were at school, and it was not successful, but I did not give up. After many tries, I think I finally got it! Hahahaahah…. I did not tell the girls as I wanted to surprise them. 😊

 

On this very morning, I made poached eggs with toasted bun. I was really nervous as I was afraid that I might fail again and didn’t want to disappoint the girls. I was happy that it turned out pretty good and I managed to poached an egg perfectly for the 1st time after countless tries.

The girls were thrilled to see their brunch on the dining table when they woke up and the feeling of satisfaction is seeing them enjoying every bit of the food prepared by me and giving me a thumbs up! 😊 It is all worth the many tries and the wasted eggs after all. 😊
