We hadn’t seen the family for over a month – since they left us in Hong Kong and we continued with our travels – and last month was our first meal as a family. My sister Joey was the executive chef for the evening. On the menu were some yummy BBQ pizzas, skewers, pasta salad and a couple of classic Chinese desserts.

Skewers: streaky bacon with cheese stuffed mushrooms.

Chicken, camembert and cranberry pizza.

Pesto pizza.

Smoked salmon pizza (with a healthy dollop of sour cream).

Mango pudding or Mongoh bodeen. Egg custard tarts or Dahn tart in the background.

I had painted my nails yellow…

…and The Koala happened to be wearing a yellow shirt. So it was only natural we had to pose with the yellow desserts.
