Christmas - food!

Christmas has always meant rich and sinful food to some people but this year, I've joined the club. I not only went for a party but also stayed back for the church supper after midnight mass. I then went for a Russian lunch with my family and a sumptous buffet spread at Equinox the next day. This was followed by 3 more buffet spreads after carolling and a wedding.

Some of the food highlights spanning across these extravagant meals are: the Turkey made by Angie's dad. It is the best I've ever tasted, fragrant and delicious without the usually pungent smell of turkey. There was also the Brownie made by her cousin Celia. It has chockful of nuts and raisins. This is comparable to another brownie given to me by Sharlene. It is awesome! I told her she should consider setting up an online business. :)

The Baby Honey Baked Ham from NTUC bought by Michelle's family for the church supper was the type I had been craving for, for decades. It has fat with a distinct honeyed taste at the edge of the lean meat. The last time I tasted a similar type of ham was back in primary school! You can imagine how nostalgic I felt upon devouring it! I ate Japanese octopus for the first time at Equinox. Now I understand why my god-brother loves it so much. :) At Aunty Lily's place, I really enjoyed the Fried Chicken. It had that KFC Original Recipe taste and texture.
