J&J Jelina can really host dinner, she even made this pretty appetizers

while the host J&J James was busy cleaning and arranging all the burg glasses
and foiled up all the bottles for blind tasting

Si Fu Lawrence came hanging on to his life with 9 huge bags of food and groceries

and the cookout begun with pork chop on the wok!!!!!

JS made this specialty of his....Hinava..in fact it's a Kadazan dish fr Sabah of coz
sashimi cut quality of Hirame fish, bittergourd, shallots, lime, chilis

even Canonite Ann Liat was not spare fr working

he was busy grinding black pepper for the mis-en-place
just press your thumb onto the grinder and let it "greeeeeeeeeeggggggg"
plus there's a light at the end to check its quality
