Family Gathering Pot Bless Dinner

It was a family gathering. It was also an uncle's birthday. It was a pot bless dinner. Everyone brought something, resulting in a very interesting, yet sumptuous mix and match of a variety cuisines. And we had so much food, more than enough for all and with lots of leftovers to bring home.

A suckling pig and pork belly strips being roasted on the spot .... 

When they were cooked, they were cut into bite-sized pieces and served

The suckling pig was fantastic

The stall at Foody Goody is run by my cousin and her husband .... and they brought their specialty for us that night. Yum. 


Banana fritters 

And of course, there were so much more food which I had failed to capture shots of. There was chicken curry, and a nyonya vegetable lemak, and yummy homemade meat rolls, and grilled pork belly in fermented soy, and barrels of KFC fried chicken. There were even cakes and fresh fruits, and durians for dessert!! Everyone ate till they almost exploded .... oh well .... luckily this is a rare occassion ....
