Finally hosted this bunch of my ex-colleagues over at my place for dinner. A few of them came over earlier to do some baking and we made a lemon tofu cheescake, a mango cheese cake and apple crumble. All done within 4 hours.
While the cakes and crumble are baking in the hot oven/chilling in the fridge, dar dar and I were preparing my so called "man han quan xi"... haha... Nay, we simply had a chinese dinner this time round and here's the menu...

(Looking at the spread and with 8 adults and 2 toddlers, we still couldn't finish all the food. So I packed and brought the leftovers to my mum's for lunch on Sunday.)
Well, we had the cakes and crumbles for desserts but it's not chilled long enough. They tasted better the next day... I like the mango cheesecake best and I'm so going to make the apple crumble again cos I wanna make it as good as the first time I tried it...
I had fun baking, cooking and cleaning up for that day... And I am so happy to take a photo with Cadee. Sadly Janelle couldn't join us.. Cadee was abit cranky and cried a few times, unfamiliar faces and environment I guess, but a cutie pie no matter what! Hope to see and play with her again.. ;p..
Alright, maybe I shall host my family, my close friends and my new colleagues over for meals again and again.. I'm itching to cook and bake... haha..
