Morning Treat @Kenya Home!

Life has been blissful since new year begins. Not only with a wonderful start surrounded by loved ones but well cared too by closed knitted friends, with unpretentious smiles and lots and lots of foodies! Alhamdulilah. 

And, today is of no exception. A group of us were invited to 'Kenya Home' by the ever loving hostess Mrs S. We were told it will be a very simple gathering. Yet, when we arrived at her new and welcoming residence, the spread of foodies was feast to our eyes. Surprisingly, she did all single handedly despite her full hands with four awesome kiddos that require her attention. Salute Mrs S! :D

At the dining table while savoring and enjoying the 'brunch' we exchanged notes from one topic to another. Being DS, among others our topics included the Charitable events that we wish to participate for this Year of the Horse. If last year, our AWG did very well where we managed to collect OR12K @AWG Bazaar for the Handicapped Children, so we also hoped that we could do the same or perhaps much better for this year. Insyallah.

From there, we exchanged notes about the most universal and sort after topic mainly cooking and foodies. With ladies from international background, I always believe that we can never go wrong when discussing about them. Hence, we probed our hostess about the refreshing Kenyan Chai which we were served with.  It was Kenyan black tea with mixture of spices which include cinnamon, cumin, ginger and nutmeg. I later found out that tea was the major cash crop that is grown in Kenya. Hence, it does not surprise me to obtain from  the net that "Kenya tea is ranked third major foreign exchange earner behind tourism and horticulture."

Another area of interest which we shared was perhaps to once in a while to have games during our social meet. But, we did not elaborate on this since we were too occupied with the Kenyan morning treat! Our hostess had prepared a table spread of foodies which include among others truly healthy dishes - the salads and the multicolored cut fruits which enticed our appetite. Also homemade sandwiches, croissants, kebabs, and several types of desserts!  

But, on the way home from the Kenyan treat, I recalled back on the topic of having and sharing games among us. I think it would be better if it is a traditional game from every nation. Whoosh! Indeed, I quite liked the idea since I personally feel that we could showcase our cultural heritage and shared with friends from across the world. Ting! Suddenly, my mind soared to our Malaysian indoor games the 'Congkak!' Perhaps, if I could share this game one day with them, that will be awesome. Hey! Why not? A session called Morning Treat @Malaysia Home :D 

Thus, I went home feeling blessed to be surrounded by wonderful friends, also feeling happy with the thought that I could share something with them when it's time for my turn to host the AASG Meet! Yeah :D Insyallah.
