Yesterday Mar 7 was a big day, with 4 families over for dinner. First visit by WangTong. The feature dish was steamed yellowbelly from Melbourne. This fish was better and fresher than the one steamed last Saturday for Jiantian/Linyun, Rebecca/Luxin. I could tell from the meat texture, and confirmed by LinYun who with Jiantian were 'unfortunate' enough to have tasted similar fish twice in 8 days! Wangtong was amazed how we could bring the fish back from Melbourne. By the next evening on Sunday, Jane and Haitao would have depleted our last yellowbelly from thsi trip back from Melbourne. The big fisg are gone, but we still have gummy shark fillets, rock flatheads, Jacks, and kg whitings.
The 5 kids (Yaoyao, Dudu, Talia, Kristine and Kimberley) were treated to spaghetti Bolognese (which did not receive rave reviews judging from the leftover, but Caohui put up a good show finishing Dudu's serve), grilled chicken wings (5 star rating), and steam brocolli (not worth meantioning).
The evening ended early for Talia, Jiantian and Linyun who came straight from airport after a trip to Shanghai. Soon after, Kristine got rough with Dudu on the upper bunk of Kimmie's bed. Photo taken before the rough acts. What was fun turned into 'feng 疯', and then it turned rough! Obviously Kristine didnt realise she was hurting Dudu until Dudu retaliated. We didnt witness the brawl, but Kristine was floored onto the lower bunk crying, and Dudu was sitting on the floor, crying too. No amount of parental persuaion, chocolates, or ice cream could mend the fences between these two.
Everyone who could and wanted a drink had just ONE drink. Every driver was afraid of being stopped by police on way home. No one could explained to me what the alcohol tolerance limit was, but it sounded like zero tolerance on the roads.
