GSK Crab Feast again : Sep-14


It must be about 6 times that we had held a GSK crab feast sessions, starting from around 2004.  Apart from the 2 occasions which we held at Wai Chuan and Lily place, the remaining sessions were organised at our place.   Through these years, Lily’s pepper crabs had gained undisputed recognition and attracted many fans, even those who had left GSK would miss them badly.   After a gap of 2 years, we decided to arrange another feast this year and I initiated the invitation.  It was an easy task with Lily’s reputation on hand, some even brought along their family members to share the joy.
Set up by Papa
On the day, everyone in the family helped to prepare the gathering.  En’en was already excited a few days before the event, and kept asking if there would be children coming along and if we would like her to perform her ukulele… Papa help to clean and set up the tables and chairs, Mama cooked her famous agar-agar and curry chicken, Shin Yang prepared her best dessert and fruits, Qi helped to buy donuts and Xuan clean up the house…etc etc.  It was amazing how we worked together to serve our guests and I am so proud of our strong family bonds and mutual understanding.

Personally, I could not further express Lily’s big heart in offering to cook for us.  I had volunteered to help on one occasion to “kill” the crabs, that task alone blew me off and since, learnt to appreciate the massive effort in preparing the feast.  It was a great gathering and coincidentally also Lily’s wedding anniversary date, so I bought a cake for her to celebrate with her love one as well as to thank her kindness.
