Malaysian Cooking Class

We had an absolutely wonderful class that had beautifully intense flavors. We started with chicken skewers that were marinated overnight and accompanied by the most delicious peanut sauce. All of us could just eat the sauce with rice and be happy. We even had one participant lick her plate clean because the sauce was just sooooooo good!! Then we had Nasi Lemak with chicken curry. We also had sambal and achar that were prepared before the class. Everything was just so delicious and we were completely stuffed! To finish it off we had a light and refreshing sago gula melaka. Everyone was given all the recipes and a spice mix that the cook made for us. Everyone was really happy with the class. I wanna thank the host for my new neck fan! And thank you to a participant for the goodies from USA and coming to the class when she landed at Prague Airport at 9:30am the same morning! Thanks to everyone for joining and participating. And thanks to another participant who gave me dates from Saudi Arabia the next day. It was so nice to receive a lot of goodies from the members of cooking club. Its nice to feel appreciated for all the effort I put into organizing events. The next event will be the summer picnic at the end of the month, July 26th!

Family Photo Archive Workshop

A friend of mine invited me to a photo workshop she was having at the Czech Taiwanese Association.  It was very fitting for me to join since my kitty glasses were bought in Taipei Taiwan 14 years ago and I came up with the idea of the blog in the Czech Republic!! My friend even made a Taiwanese pork dish that we could try.  It was delicious!  The hospitality was amazing!  Plus the location of the association was great!  The workshop was informative and gave lots of great ideas on what we can do with our thousands of photos.  I "won" third place with the 3rd most amount of photos taken in a year.  We then shared a photo from our phones that we liked and explained it to the group.  It was a really nice event and I appreciate being invited to it.  Thanks!

                                                        lots of delicious things to munch on
