Lunchtime Feasting!

On Tuesday I had a few of my uni friends over for a lunch time feast!  I decided on writing this post as, for me, it is important that I remember moments like these. I have been more than blessed with the most amazing, loyal, funny and genuine friends here in Singapore of which I am eternally grateful for. Additionally, who doesn’t love looking at photos of delicious, delicious food?!

The day before I busied myself preparing the honey soy chicken, traditional Aussie Pavlova, melting moments, sausage rolls and spinach and french onion dip. I deliberately chose to make Pavlova and sausage rolls as my friends had not tried them before and I was excited to see their reactions.

On Tuesday, my friends contributed to the feast bringing donuts, cupcakes, pasta and even Japanese Choya fruit liquor (of which I had never tried).  The liquor was much sweeter than what I had anticipated and the ice assisted in diluting the strength of the alcoholic flavour. Overall, it was actually quite nice!

We spent the afternoon, which continued on to the evening, seated around the dining table, eating, drinking, laughing and enjoying each other’s company. It’s moments like these that I know that the decision to follow my family to Singapore was the definitely the right choice.  

Even though the day was incredibly simple, it was all I could ever ask for. To be able to spend hours around genuine, entertaining, hilarious, likeable people is incredibly idyllic and perfect in my opinion.

One of my biggest concerns when moving to Singapore was that I would struggle to make good friends. To know that within less than a year of living here, I have been able to make some of the strongest friendships, is incredibly special for me. By having such loyal and wonderful friends here has made my experience living in Singapore so much greater than I could have imagined. I very much look forward to how the rest of the journey here unfolds!
