A great party, with great company and great food

JW organised a "makan" (eating get-to-gather) last Saturday at her spanking new condo. Invited us at least 2 weeks back and since then I have been thinking hard as to what to bring over. Since she said she was going to provide the main meal, my earlier intention of cooking the white pasta sauce had to be KIVed. Since there were kids there, I decided to make a really homemade Oreo cheesecake and some cookies.

Lookie all the gorgeous food.. some from EuroDeli, the duck is from the famous Setapak stall (so we were told by Winnie), the Tuna Potato cutlets were made by Casper

I remembered the Horlicks Doggie cookies which I saw some time back. It was posted by "Do What I Like" blogger. They were so very cute and it had what I thought was simple instructions... until I tried it. I think it must be difference in the ingredients and also the oven as I had to improvise some. I used super fine flour and my Hersey Chocolate Chips were a little too big for these doggies. How do I know? Coz my friend Winnie asked "Are these Panda cookies??". Anyway, the kids didn't buy it? There were 3 of them there but none of them ate the cookies. But the "older" kids... JW, Babe and Daff really helped themselves ...I am not sure if they gave any to Casper.

The doggies or are they Pandas?? The actual ones looks much much better at the "Do What I Like" blog

I also made a really homemade Oreo non-baked cheesecake. Why do I emphasize on the homemade? Coz as far as presentation went, that scored me an absolute perfect ZERO!. Absolutely non-existent artistic flair. I just plonked the bag of chopped Oreo cookies into the cheese filling and shucked it into the fridge and hoped for the best. Fed the cake to the test bunnies at the party and guess what.... saw JW's post and chatted with babe on MSN this morning...phew.. the test bunnies are still ok :)
