Throwback - Farewell 'Makan-Makan'

This was my 'ex-HOD' farewell/retirement party that we organised for her sometime in Nov last year.
Many were still WFH during then, but we arranged a day to be in the office for this 'feast'.
A colleague took all the effort to organise this and we all had a great time eating and chatting/catching up with each other before the team 'split' and went separate way (i mean reporting to different HODs)
But of course we are still working under the same roof, just that no longer under the same dept due to different job functions.
Anyway, here's the spread....
my favourite is this 'sayur lodeh' cooked by my colleague's MIL. Her MIL opens an eatery stall in Seremban....so, this came all the way from another state.
Chicken rendang contributed by another colleague.
nasi impit, plenty of them, to be eaten with kuah kacang or rendang
and guess what's this?
nope....this isn't a cake
it's 'roti jala'...but it is in colorful folded rose and arranged in heart shape
it comes with the curry gravy in a separate bowl. This was pre-ordered from the caterer.
We also ordered spring rolls...2 full boxes for only 13 of us! (but some were absent, so it is down to 11 of us). We definitely cannot finish these...
part of the 'feast package' by the caterer is this dessert - 'pandan gula melaka cake'
Sweet and aromatic!
quiche
and blueberry cheese tart
all are so yummeh!!!
We have excess fund from our RM50/pax allocated budget, so we ordered drinks from a shop in IOI City mall. The drinks were delivered to us by an arranged rider.
i had mango jasmine green tea....kinda refreshing drink after a heavy meal!
btw, the feast package also includes these lunch boxes...which are actually the main meal....
but since i was too full with the nasi impit, rendang chicken, roti jala and sayur lodeh....i kept mine for dinner.
There goes my dinner on that day...
3 grilled chicken skewers with lotsa greens. I stuffed in a quiche and blueberry cheese tart into that box as 'dessert'.
Great meal and we were full to the brim!

I miss eating sayur lodeh. The lunch box looks good. Sounds like a wonderful farewell lunch for your HOD.

Not sure what is sayur lodeh. But bet all dishes were good.

The roti jala is so beautiful and colourful. I wish you have taken out one to unfold it for us to see.

Quiche!!! I have not eaten for a long time now. I miss it.

Wow! I see and I wanna eat all the food so much. Try one each and I will be so super full. So nice of you all to organize a farewell party for your x hod.

I like all the food and the food boxes and what stood out was the roti jala roses! So pretty. Whoever made that beautiful creation is very creative and must have spent a lot of time making it.

The roti jala is sooo pretty. It's even rolled into rose shapes. *very impressed

During the weekdays, the driver would picked us (me & colleague) from the apartment at 8am daily. Sometimes he would use different route...
