You know what people say about attending an Asian and Surinam' BBQ party - you'll never walk out from the party hungry ;) Last Saturday, we'd a 'Sabahan' BBQ party at one of my girlfriend's house in Rotterdam and later in the evening, we'd to rush to Amsterdam for one of my Hub's ex-colleague's wedding party.
Everybody had a fantastic time at the BBQ party, great company, great food :) My girlfriend aka the hostess made the satays herself and it was delicious!! Plus some of us did the pot luck, each of us brought something to the party ;) We'd mango salads, grilled fish, shrimps salad, pasta salad, avocado salad that went very well with roasted potatoes, fried meehoon, rice, ice-cream with strawberries, desserts, crackers, the super hot sambals..yummy, free flow of beers for the lads and of course last but not least the infamous 'mojito' compliments from one of the guest :)
Unfortunately my Hubs and I had to leave early :( and mind you, when we about to leave, there were still food coming in batches *grin*. And trust me our bellies were quite full already :)
We rushed back home, get changed and rushed to Amsterdam for the wedding party. It was another scene altogether :) The party was held in a docked party boat in Amsterdam. This is my first wedding party in the Netherlands :) The difference between and Asian and Western wedding parties was the dancing part ;) Somehow Asians are a bit shy when it comes to dancing after a wedding dinner but not the Westerners. They revelled on it, everyone was dancing and having a good time including us. The live band was great playing 80s music with their groovy costumes :) The most touching part of the evening, was a group of their friends sang to the bridal couple, I thought it was such a nice gift :) We left close to midnight and the party was still on-going ;)
We were knackered. It was a long day for both my Hubs and I but we did enjoy ourselves.
