In my opinion, there's no better way to embrace arrival of Ramadhan other than sadaqah to which we were gladly hosted a small majlis meyambut Ramadhan yesterday. We decided to invite my husband's colleagues and friends from "bujang" group. Owhhh they're definitely married. It just that some of them came work here under single packages while others were temporarily wife-less due to long summer break. Due to my hopelessly lacking in culinary skills, no assistant and limited space, I can only afford to invite small amount of people this time. Hmmmmm naahhhhh ..I think it's more on my culinary skills kah kah kah...Insya allah in the near future, jika di izinkan Allah and di murahkan rezeki, I would really glad to invite another batch of guests for another majlis, berbuka puasa maybe. This time for family pulak. As the old saying goes, "Quantity does not equal quality "

Since the majlis adelah kecil kecilan, maka menu pun kecil kecilan lah yer.. One thing for sure, when hosting an event like this, I would definitely chose a list of menu that I am comfortable and confident with. Simply put, I will always chose to be in a safe side. Biarlah orang kata menu tak exclusive kaaa, lauk kampung kaaaa.. kata lahhhh... There's no point being adventurous if my guests doesn't like my food. One more thing, the menus decided must complimented each other. Kena masuk "gu" orang ganu kata... For examples, if you already have ayam goreng, then it won't be suitable to be making ayam kari pulak, unless you had junior guests that day. Asam pedas and tomyam doesn't get along well. It's one or another. You sure wouldn't want to confuse your guests. Biar sederhana janji the dish completed each other. Owh one more thing, always be considerate by extend some efforts and offered some varieties. Some guests likes spicy stuff while some guests can't handle it, hence always have courtesy by preparing both type. Beverages also play crucial roles. If you're serving some hearty heavy meals, then always try to go for light drinks like syrup. And always prepare both hot drinks and cold drinks, just in case as some people doesn't drink ice or cold water. Always get to know and study your list of guests. A little extra efforts won't harm you. These is something I learned from experiences. Well, just take it as humble 2 cents from The Real Housewife of Mangaf Season 1 ! Ecehcehcehceh...

Anyhoo, this is what we had that nite...
