It's been four years since I did any cooking for charity.
In Singapore, for sixteen years, my friends and I (a group of faculty wives and husbands) raised funds for the Deaf Children in Kenya. The school is Oyugi School for the Deaf in Kenya.

When my Church MABC got involved with working at the local school makeover, Mt Albert primary School, there was a call for donation of gift, cash and time. I offered a 3 course Malaysian dinner for 4.
I was pleasantly surprised that the bid went up to $120. So I decided to throw in a dessert as well.
I forgot to say that I packed up the food and delivered to my friend's house.
Here's what I cooked:
Saffron rice with raisins and almond flakes.
Malaysian curry chicken with coconut milk, potatoes and tomatoes.
Individually sauteed veges
Jelly lime and mandarin cake.
S. and S. enjoyed their dinner with friends.
Thank you for your generousity.
I like mandarin oranges. The mandarin cake looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good that I have to say it is worth every cent bid. I'm getting hungry just looking at the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI would have been happy to put a bid in for a Malaysian meal too. Lovely food. Your guest would have been most appreciative.

Yum!! I bet the folks that were bid were very happy.
ReplyDeletewhat a great supper and a genorous bid
ReplyDeleteYour curry is the typical chinese version, with lots of coconut milk- it's mild compared to the authentic Indian curry. I don't add any coconut milk, just a few spoonful of yogurt or milk, I prefer mind the hot , spicy curry. You must be a great cook to be able to whip up such delicious food.
ReplyDeleteBless you Ann for a good soul.your food looks delicious .i like the soup best.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious...
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, sorry for the late visit, I've got connection trouble recently...
