Tea Party at Thanh-Thao's

Just picked up Vee Han from the airport earlier. Yes, my dear friend will be in Adelaide for one whole month!!! Woo-hoo! He'll be doing his elective in the STD Clinic opposite the Royal Adelaide Hospital. I really hope there'll be enough time to bring him around. The rotation I'm starting on tomorrow (General Medicine in RAH) is super full-on. -_-"

One of the highlights of my otherwise quiet winter holidays. Thanh-Thao, Jenna and Yin Yee came up with this great idea of hosting afternoon tea. Good job everyone on putting together this fabulous assortment of English (and not-so-english) goodies! When a group of girls come together, beautiful things happen. :P The guys helped too.... they helped eat.

Jenna made her specialty dish: sushi rolls!

Yin Yee's mixed berry tartlets.

Cucumber, pecan and chicken sandwiches.

Being lazy as usual, I made banana bread. Just mash everything up and dump it into the oven. :P

Strawberries dipped in chocolate!

TADAHHH!!!! The fruits of our labour!

We had 8 different fragrant teas from T Bar.

Cucumber and alfalfa sprouts sandwiches courtesy of Thanh-Thao.

L-R: Thanh-Thao, me, Jenna, Yin Yee, Christine, Jebbrine.

Christine and Jebbrine made Chocolate souffle using the recipe from the Masterchef Australia website. For those who don't know, Masterchef Australia is this reality show where a bunch of Aussies compete to become a 'chef''. Quite an entertaining series, but it felt really painful watching caucasian contestants butcher simple Asian recipes during their week in Hong Kong. *Sigh*.

Diyana arrived later with cupcakes!

I felt compelled to take multiple shots of the feast. It was too pretty to ignore. :P

....and after the meal all the guys flocked to play Guitar Hero.
