nt with limited entertainment space has become our excuse for not throwing our phenomenal home parties. Although, it's not exactly an excuse, as the limited space makes it hard to cater for more than 8 people comfortably. But when dear friends arrive from overseas, nothing stops them from barging into our door and demand not only to be fed, but to be fed well. And of course, mother obliges.It won't be mum's phenomenal dinner party without a few novel creations:
Stuffed celery with mustard dressing, beautifully presented on a gold rimmed plate, gone before I could say "can I have a taste". Other dishes include pickled spicy cucumbers, spicy tripe, pigs trotters (with the skin tantalizingly bouncy - but I still stay away from this), steamed fish with pickles and pork mince, chicken and mushrooms with sweet-spicy sauce (empty plate in no time). And the piece de resistance - rice with chinese sausages and hams cooked in an earthenware pot, so the fat and juice of the meats would seep through the rice, which crisps up at the bottom of 
the pot.A very happy meal with not much of left over. Though there was enough for my lunch box the next day... phew.
