: : Gawai : :
Went visiting last night to a collegue’s house. Had too much tuak @ rice wine as usual but it’s only once a year. Anyway, it’s always a fun time at her house with every one chit chatting until quite late and eating as well. With many cheers of ‘ahhhhhh-huuuuuuu!’ instead of Cheers. My collegue is a lovely hostess as well as her family. Some pictures of the food that was served.
A beautifully decorated cake showing a bag of rice and a traditional beaded choker. The details were just amazing. The cake was so attractive and eye-catching that no-one took a piece of it at all. As shown in the cake, it was courtesy of Hilton Hotel. Their bakery is seriously very good
Another Gawai-themed cake, this time showing the intricate designs usually found on wood carvings.
A lot of the children were looking at the golden-wrapped balls and suddenly realising that in the middle of a beautiful table arrangement, it was Ferrero Rocher dangling before their eyes! They also used small pineapple fruit as part of the decor as well as pitcher plants.
It was a nice night of meeting up with friends and their families whom I haven’t seen or mingled in a long while. I forgot how much fun it is just to sit down and make fun of each other.
Anyway, this is Gawai time. A time of good cheer, fun, laughter in the midst of all the tuak!
