One of the reason why I love Friday is not because is "TGIF" but is because there is a cookout! Well mostly almost every Friday! My friends and I will gather and cook something and eat together.
Funny thing is that it started really small and then became something like a weekly thing.
I asked Sonya and Kento if they wanted to join dinner and we decided to just make random food at first and it came to this. XD Random pancakes and soup with meat.
Then the week after we said OK lets change, lets cook steamboat instead because it was getting cold too. I had tom yam paste and we just did a rojak (anyhow) kind.
This was the time we found out, 3 people is too little and we had so much left overs. WE NEEDED MORE PEOPLE. in a way to enjoy too. So we were like LETS CALL MISO! (well she was busy that day so she couldn't come over)
When miso finally came over, we wanted us to try the spicy ramen that is from Korea.
(The one that everyone was #spicyramenchallenge)
After that we started to invite more people and was like hey lets make things together.
It gotten way more lively and hectic but hell fun!
Is even better because we all came from different countries and background so we all share our own dish with everyone else. Seeing my friends eat Singaporean food is the best XD.
Like when I made curry and everyone said it taste like home. (Asia region)
Since then the number was growing ( we had like 10 before)
We needed to make bigger portions!
Miso made korean kimchi soup
Tried to make gotcha pork roast from Soma
I Made Laksa.
Rebecca made sanbeiji 三杯鸡
Chicken Rice
Hamburgers by Sonya
There is still much more that we cooked but these are just some photos of it.
Now that is normal to have a cookout every Friday, it is really fun looking forward to the gathering. Deciding what to eat, paying 500Yen and then coming out with something really hearty which is the best thing about home cooking! Even more so when you are away from your home.
I really feel is the little things that friends do and gather that makes everything more fun! Don't need to go out and spend a lot of money on the food which usually cost more than 1000yen. Cannot wait for more Friday night cooking with everyone and try many new dishes.
