A little backtracking before Kuching.

Cheesecake-making for the boys with Yiqiao! :)

This was pretty yummy, if I may say so. A tad sweet (as my aunts reflected) for the adults, but really quite good for everyone else. The recipe used a digestive biscuit base and Philadelphia cheese. That pretty lady is a joy to bake with! I remember laughing a lot throughout the day, and she even cleaned all the dishes without me noticing! :) (everyone knows dishwashing is the only horrid part of baking because you don't really realise the pile of utensils and dishes that slowly builds up in the sink)

Creamy came over and that was the very very first time a four-legged animal entered my house! I was so psyched when my mom agreed the night before. :) And I left my brother with Creamy when me and Yiqiao drove out for dinner so that he could play with the dog without feeling paiseh in front of the owner (yiqiao). Could tell he was pretty delighted too. :)

Cookout at his place.

It was a flop. hahha. The dishes LOOK rather appetising though, I'm surprised. But I'll be honest, we didn't know when to add the chicken in, how to add flavour to the soup (my mom told me afterwards, that I have to let the carrots and corn simmer for really long, and wine should be added only after cooking because the taste of the wine will change under long period of heat). The boiled crabsticks and lobster balls saved the day (and our stomachs). :)

But anyways, it's one tick on the to-do-together list. Preparing dinner together.

Check!
