What you gave me…

When I met up with my blogger-friends for dinner in KL, it was like there was some kind of barter trade going on. I brought along some kompia, terbaloi (sago biscuits) and keropok (prawn crackers) from Mukah, terung dayak (Iban/sour brinjal), Sarawak laksa and masak hitam paste and souvenir t-shirts for the kids.

Cynthia gave me her homebaked chocolate chip cookies…

…but they never reached Sibu. When I checked in at the Concorde Inn KLIA, my friends, Mandy and Zee, and I made coffee and I decided to let everybody try them but once we started, we just could not stop. In the end, we almost finished the whole lot except for a few pieces that I saved for my daughter who also agreed that they were really nice. Well, if anybody’s interested – for Christmas perhaps, Cynthia is selling them and you can click this link for the details. Incidentally, do not hesitate to ask me if you need my mailing address. Muahahahahaha!!!

She also gave me these – mousse of different flavours: vanilla and mango slices, raspberry and chocolate…

Unfortunately, they were starting to melt, so during the dinner, we ate all that was in the big tub that she gave smallkucing…while I generously gave mine to my cousin and her friends who happened to be having dinner at that same restaurant that night.

And talking about smallkucing, she was there too that night with her Big Kucing and her Little Kucing…

She gave me these bamboo charcoal tambun biscuits…

I have not tried them yet but since they’re from that Bisgood Company, I bet it’s going to be good – so far, I’ve liked all the products from the company.

She also gave me this glutinous rice cooked with soy sauce and all the ingredients…

…but I was really full after dinner that night and there was no fridge in the room, so I could eat only about half of that.

It was the same also with the Coke chicken that Cleffairy gave me…

Pretty nice, sweet…but very cold – should be a lot nicer if eaten piping hot.

…but I think the novel was for my daughter and she would be getting the t-shirt as well. There would be no way I could fit into that small thing. There were some badges too, all in a very girly shocking pink bag. Well, that was not all – inside, I also found what I thought was another book – “God’s gift”…and it turned out to be a collection of readings from the Bible. I wonder if Cleffairy is trying to tell me something… Hehehehehehe!!!!

Last but not least, I got these from my very dear friend, Mandy…

What a relief – she did not give me any perishables…so I was able to cart all of that home with me to Sibu and enjoy eating them slowly one by one.

Thanks, everybody, for everything. I do hope you all liked what you all got… Let’s see what I can bring over from here next time.
