While running on a budget and knowing this fella is gonna miss local food, we threw him a local feast hawker food party.
For drinks, our friends came with 1 bottle Moscato, 1 bottle Traminer Riesling, 1 pack 1.5L Shochu, 12 can mixers & from our collection, 4 bottle premium Sake, 1 bottle Moscato, half bottle SKYY Vodka with mixer & couple of beers. [Seems like we are really going to get wasted]
We prep a nice cocktail for early birds to open their appetite!
Recipe : Summer Berry Breezer
Step1 : Pour in tall glass, 2 part SKYY Vodka Berry, 2 tablespoon IKEA organic mixed berry jam. Muddle & stir to make sure jam is not chunky.
Step2: Build in Jug, generous ice, Pour berry mix from tall glass, add 2 parts cranberry/pomegranate juice & 1 part lime juice. stir with long spoon & serve.
As the mixture is really rich, even when the ice melts it will still be just rite.
Dinner spread: giant platter of Ngor hiang, hokkien mee, char kuey teow & oh-luak.
Serve with Choice of white wines or beer.
After dinner, we sit down around our coffee table & bitch. Since there is a significant amount of Japanese booze, we dug out all our Jap snacks to go along with it. Dried octapus, rice crackers, calibee prawn crackers.
Being really informal, we serve the Hot & Cold sakes in a Vodka shot glass. As instructed by the sake dealer there is a sequence which to drink 1st.
This turns out to be quite like a impromptu Sake & Shochu appreciation.
The Damage? [apart from severe liver damage & puke all over the place]
Food : $50 feeding 8 pax
Drinks : $64 for Sakes, $8 wine hand carry from Aus, Vodka from Duty-free
Tips : Try theme parties ideas that are hassle-free & hopefully cheap, like hawker fare. food are all tabao this reduce preparation time.
Stock up beers & hard liquor from duty-free & you won't feel the pinch when you to splurge on alcohol. Duty-free Vodka makes cheap cocktails & makes everyone high.
