![]() ![]() I had invited my colleagues to bring food if they wished and I was chuffed that they took me up on that offer! As the general theme was foods from your country, we also had an American blueberry cheesecake, British cakes, Pakistani pastries, Taiwanese mochi cakes and Chinese sesame sweets. Yes, they’re almost all linked to my growing up and I’ll be blogging most of the recipes. I made a platter of savouries, kuih bakar, lemon blueberry drops, graham cracker toffee and rather experimental mango cupcakes with lime buttercream. Almost everything I made was prepared at home and transported to work – just the sandwiches were made on site. We drank black tea (assam) with condensed milk, a nod towards the teh tarik (only without the pulling) from my birth country.įor eats, portability was the key when I planned my tea party menu apart from the hot and cold water dispenser, we only have a fridge and sink in our kitchenette. It’s not a a tea party without tea and our little work kitchen (if you can call it that) with its hot water dispenser sorted us out. There was even a theme to the tea party – food from your home country, home being quite varied in our office as we have quite an international group here. I held my Marie Curie Blooming Great Tea Party (my original post on this is here if you’d like to read more on the charity) this past Monday and I think it went well! I opted to hold mine at work, incorporating two neighbouring offices (about a dozen people), and to my surprise, everyone was quite enthusiastic about it – no one can turn down cakes and biscuits come 4pm. ![]()
