Farewell Lunch by a Dear Colleague...

A colleague recently left for greener pastures in SG. Prior to that, she was so kind to organise a farewell 'makan makan' with us (her closest buddies and teammates). I was delighted to be in the invitation list...coz got 'free food'😁
She bought/ordered the dishes from various shops.
Malay dishes (masakan Melayu) by her MIL who runs a business in Seremban...Yea, imagine the effort of 'transporting' all these from another state. 
A few other bowls on the side were home-cooked and also bought from a nearby 'warung' (stall).
Below (left) is 'ayam masak lemak' and (right) is 'masak lemak pucuk ubi kayu'.
She ordered a huge tray of beef rendang too....We can't finish this, and she brought some disposable containers for us to tapao...Such a generous and kind of her!
The watermelon was contributed by another colleague...It was juicy and sweet, the first item to finish instantly.
There's also keropok from Terengganu brought by my ex-HOD (who is retiring soon)...It paired well with the dishes. I felt like having some authentic Malay meal at kampung!
Here's my portion...
btw, she brought the plates from home too....i was😮
I'm super grateful for this meal what more with her effort & hassles of preparing a 'feast' for us.

So nice of your co-worker. She did a farewell meal for you all instead of you all treat her to a farewell meal. Food looks good, and the place is well managed, looks exactly like those food managed by caterers. Wishing your co-worker all the best in SG.

Wow, she really put in a lot of effort organizing the farewell makan. What is very amazing is that she even brought the plates from home.
