Emily S invited Marian, Lorna and me to her house for tea and a casual dinner to catch up with one another.

I made Matrimonial Squares (a.k.a dates squares) for tea time. We enjoyed this high fiber pastry with some special tea prepared by Emily.

Dinner is served when Marian arrived, slightly later.

Emily bought some appetizers from T&T; marinated beef tripe, pork ear, pork stomach with sour mustard and seaweed.

Emily quickly stir fried some Tiger Prawn with some Sichuan Pepper after Marian arrived. The prawns were large succulent and springy.

Other side dishes include five spice tofu and cucumber.

Steamed broccoli and wood ear.

Fruits to clean our palate after dinner.

We ended our meal with a Fruit Cake bought by Lorna.

Emily, thank you for your hospitality and home cook food.

It’s great to catch up with great friends.
