    Dear all....

    Thank you for your suggestions. I have successfully enjoyed my party.

    Wine and cocktails.

    Salty plum and lime juice with ice - i bot this from JB and guests simply love it. Oni cost M$7.00 per bottle.

    1 bottle can mix up to abt 4litres. Something different fm the usual ribena or oj.

    Caesar salad w bacon bits and croutons

    Celery,carrot,cucumber sticks w dip

    Curry chicken w baguette

    Laksa

    White popiah

    Choc Fondue - strawberry,kiwi,marshmello,banana,cherry tomato,grapes

    BBQ items

    chicken wings

    stingray

    squids

    satay

    sweet potato

    Every one had a great time, wrapping their popiah, prepare their own laksa and bbqing.The curry was a hot fav as well. But the caesar salad wasnt popular.Choc fondue was loved by kids... and they created a great mess with the choc dripping around.

    And the next day, i spend half a day cleaning but it was worth it.

    If you have any party food recipe to share, please post it in this thread. I will be v happy to try them out.

    Hello..

    oh..i really miss the prep time for my wedding. Our wedding favour was hairdryers printed with our names and wedding date on it ! As our wedding theme was black and white, we bot black n white pokka dots paperbags to hold the dryers. Our guests were amazed and we r sure they will value our wedding favours as well...

    Try to get a memorable gift for your guests and they will definitely appreciate your effort.

    I believe the quality of the sofa goes with its price as well. Buy something you feel comfortable and not juz cheap. Sofa is the next most used item in the home besides our bed. And its for your guest to enjoy and relax as well.No point to have a well renovated hse with a lousy sofa. :)
