Blog Party 8 - Brunch hosted by : Dispensing Happiness " Blog Party is a virtual cocktail party for food bloggers. It's a chance to make those little bites and fantastic drinks we all love, but never make. Blog Party is about taking time for us: setting aside some time to cook (which, clearly, we all love), to prepare appetizers we want to eat but never get around to. And best of all, it's about getting together, albeit via the Web, with like-minded friends.".... "So this month, we're making our little bites from breakfast dishes. Bite-sized quiches and frittatas, tiny cups of fruit salad...mimosas, champagne cocktails! This is my first ever blog party.. em.. i dont really know if i'm doing the right thing or not .. but it was just impulsive.. i just wanted to make something.. first up mini scrambled egg  very very easy to make.. ok.. first, get some eggs, crack it in a bowl. Then, add say abt 2 tbsp of milk for each egg .. then add a tiny piny of salt. ok, so since it's hors d'oeurves.. i decided to put it in spoons.. easier to eat.. get a nice clean soup-spoon, lay baby romaine, or baby cod, or small lettuce.. put in the eggs.. then twist abit of black pepper.. just a LIL bit.. oh.. optional i guess..
Next... ok, this time, i felt like eating spring rolls.. u know those with veges inside.. the ones u eat during yumcha in dim sum restaurants ?? i suddenly felt like eating it.. so i just made it.. ok.. seriously, i dont really know how to make it.. ahha... i just ... whip it up ...=P Spring Rolls
the ingredients are abit.. messy.. i didn't really measure it.. it was just ... impulsive-kinda-thing.. ok..
ok.. pour in oil for frying.. wait for it to heat up...
For drinks.. i so wanted to drink some ice lemon tea..hot weather.. crispy spring rolls.. a glass of icy cold ice lemon tea would be great... - Make breakfast tea. slice some lemon, 3 or 4..
alright.. that's abt it... my First Blog Party... do drop by Dispensing Happinessa few days later for a round up! and join the party ! tsk tsk

we finally step foot on the famous Fondue House in Desa Sri Hartamas. Fondue (pronounced "fon-doo") comes from the French verb fondre, which means "to melt". This delicious and entertaining custom of dipping chunks of crusty bread into a steaming pot of melted cheese originated in Switzerland and more specifically in the Canton of Neuchatel. The dish consists of several cheeses that is melted with wine and a bit of flour and served communally out of a pot called a caquelon. Long forks are used by each guest to spear a cube/slice of bread and then dipped into the cheese and eaten. Besides cheese fondue, there is also chocolate desert fondue, which was invented by the Americans. It is said to have originated from a Swiss chocolate manufacturer who was demonstrating how its products could be melted and served with pieces of fruits, cake and cookies. We took our luck on the Cheese Mushroom Fondue. Actually it's recommended by our friends because, apparently, they've been there a couple of times. We ordered the original cheese fondue as well with Lamb Cutlets and Seafood Platter
The Cheese Mushroom Fondue Set with Lamb Cutlets and Bread basket
Lamb cutlets.. which was a bit too tender.. with some carrott n celery sticks and brocolli
Bread Basket - bread stick, bread and biscuits
the cheese mushroom fondue.. really nice !!!! like super thick, creamy, cheese mushroom soup..
Chocolate Fondue Set with assortments of fruits and cakes
the killer !
assorted fruits - bananas, apples, grapes, strawberries, starfruits.. and a few small pieces of cakes ok.. first thought, u might think it wont be filling.. but i guess it is, maybe cause i kept filling myself with water (i was darn darn darn hot..) the original plain cheese fondue was a bit sour, maybe because it was melted with wine.. the mushroom one was fantabulous!!! the chocolate fondue was great.. but just that, if the strawberries could be sweeter =) so, definitely a place to check out.. would be back for a second visit Fondue House it's opposite SODA and Coffee Bean, behind As You Like It Flowers and Decanter Too! |
