Xmas Celebration @ ECP

Thank goodness it never rained on xmas eve! Actually we had been kinda lucky as it had been raining continuously in the past few weeks. But I insisted on not having any contingent plans ( the truth was I had none as the pit was already booked). Anyway, to have a strong fate that it would not rain seem to work well.

Everything went fairly well except that we had a tough time trying to get the fire burning. Lesson learnt => Dun save on cheap fire starters and dun buy NTUC charcoal. We bought a cambodian brand fire starters that cost about 90cents. We used up the whole box ( 20 fire starters) and yet the fire was not burning well. No choice but got to buy a new box at ECP which cost $3! Ok, now the fire starters seem to be working. Alas! It was the charcoal this time. I suspect the charcoal was damp or sth, else it just dun turn white. No choice but got to buy charcoal and another box of fire starters. So dubz... We ended up buying 3 box of fire starters, used 80 fire starters and 7kg charcoal to get the pit burning.... And that was like 2-3 hours laters...

Finally, we can bbq!! This was one of the proud experiment that we did -> Skewer with white button mushroom, pork, capsicum and pineapple. Wanted to have satay but it kinda expensive to buy from wholesale ( as they sold in bulk of 50) and too troublesome to do it ourselves, so the idea of having skewers seem so much simpler. Had tried to marinate meat with beer, pumpkin with cheese, potato with cheese... but didnt turn out too well tot... =p

Guess what? This was made up of letter spelt out using sparklers. The trick was to repeat the stroke of each letter forward and backward fast, while the camera person tried to take as many shots as possible to capture the best shot. Thanks to CY, the letters had been merged to spell out Merry Xmas!
