I know this is a much delayed post…but trying to change my blog outlook and also designing a new watermark for the photos took up quite some time….my apologies!

Compared to the first floggers gathering I attended, this one was much better and well attended…by almost 20 floggers!!

This gathering was held in Edelweiss Cafe, 38 Lebuh Armenian, 10300 Penang.

Last Saturday was a gathering of like-minded people…all who have keen interest in blogging, particularly about food. From strangers, we became friends, from virtually known, we finally had the chance to meet up the faces behind those blogs. From a simple hello, we ended up with long conversations, jokes, laughter and fun.

And all of this is thanks to our dear organizing chairman (which we have decided that she STAYS a chairman for as long as she can :P ), CK, Gill Gill, PenangTuaPui and Criz.

In case you were wondering….NO, I did not pull the string to verify!!!

 

 

Bloggers arriving…

 

Just at the right timing….snapped this when another camera flashes while some bloggers get together for a picture. There’s 5xmom with her famous red t-shirt.

BBQ Pork Ribs

 

Smoked Pork Belly

 

The pork belly tasted very good…although it’s a little oily (which is the special part according to some). I sort of surprised myself that I managed to finish it except for the top quarter part of the oily skin. The smokey flavour gives a fine taste to the tender pork meat.

Dessert
Apple Flan / Ice cream

The apple flan was nice. Not too sweet, large slices of apple and very smooth vanilla ice-cream to go with it.

Drink
Coffee/ Tea

 

Some other desserts available:

 

This pineapple+barley and jam tarts is given by CK while the chocolate brownies were specially made by Ah Shui. Thanks so much!!! The sweetness from these goodies is enough to keep my mouth "sweet" till the next gathering!! :D

 

 

And finally, some more goodies from the organizers and lucky draw prize for everyone courtesy of Criz

 

 

Thank you to all who came….hope we can get to know each other more in the future!!
