Asian Barbeques

Barbeques in Asian countries sounds a little off, only because, well, for me at least, barbeques are meant to be done when the weather is cold. On the menu easy comfort food such as sausages, mushrooms, onions, bread, salad, sweet corn, crisps and potato.

In Asia, we have barbeques with a twist. I haven't attended or hosted one with the above fare where yummy sausages are predominantly the meat. The barbeques here have the following must haves : Chicken wings, satay, sambal stingray, cocktail sausages and sweet corn. We're usually the seafood kebab providers but I don't know why we didn't think of it for the barbie that we attended tonight. Instead, we volunteered to purchase some fried kuay teow done Penang style. We're also the marshmallow providers. Where there are kids, marshmallows are always welcomed.

Anyways, the place where the kuay teow was to be cooked decided to close early on weekends, thus we became the junk food provider. For a total of about 35 people including kids, 5 packets of junk food disappeared amidst all the fried bee hoon, fried rice, pasta, salad, beef kebabs, prawn sticks, satay, whole duck, mutton curry, sushi and chicken wings. All that was left were the fruits. Trips to the toilet will be interesting tomorrow.
