Last Friday my students and I had an end of module celebration.
We had a little fun, because…
*
*
Khalid cooked some Afghanistan traditional Ghoust:
*
*
*
Yan Ke was happy to bring with him some Chinese Hot Pot he cooked at home:
*
*
*
Wait a minute. What about some Red Fish a la Chef Baloy from Mozambique?
*
*
*
I’m telling ya. We also had Kya-Mu Hin, cooked by Zinzin, from Myanmar.
*
*
*
Care for some Chinese Dumpling by De Li?
*
*
*
And what about Jab-Che (Sweet Potato Korean Noodle) by Jin Won?
*
*
*
And some tasty Timorese Traditional food by Koli?
*
*
*
Hang on. Here’s another one from South Korea: Man Doo (Korean Dumpling) by Paul.
*
*
*
Fancy some Brazilian Brigadeiro? Well, Anna Carol surely knew how to make it.
*
*
*
And some Thai Noodle by Nan?
*
*
*
With some Indonesian Risole by Niah?
*
*
*
And can you resist Punjabian Samosa by Gaurav? Well, I couldn’t. I mean, look at me!
*
*
*
Neither could I take my hands off Julie’s Taiwanese Shar Hwa Gaw, aka Snow Flower Cake!
*
*
*
And I was definitely hovering in the brink of starvation when Ecuadorian Amaya
was holding the mouthwatering Illapingacho. Well, who wouldn’t?
*
*
*
All these with some Indonesian Nasi Goreng a la Subhan?
*
*
*
*
That’s what happened When South Meets North.
Hungry now?
Well, wherever you are, my friends, if you’re having breakfast, or lunch, or dinner, I just would like to say:
“Selamat Makan, semuanya!”
*
And have a fabulous Wednesday!
*

Much Love,
Subhan Zein

Nothing like a pot-luck to make us realize that we are all one. Lots of love in those dishes–the most important ingredient. Next time, I’ll bring some Spam Musubi. {{{Hugs}}} Kozo
ahahaha, yes! Great idea! I’ll bring my Nasi Goreng and Telor Pedas!
pantas kamu gendut :3

What a great reminder of the diversity of food across Asia and the world. While the dishes may be different we all share food and eat a little too much!
Thank you. I am glad you found it great! Hope you have great food to enjoy and lovely day to you, my friend!
Subhan Zein
Fabulous!
Thank you. Lovely day to you, my friend!
Subhan Zein
I’m so hungry now! I used to get invited to a food club meeting when I lived in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and they would make the most amazing food. This post reminds me how lucky I was. I enjoyed the pictures! What a lovely group.
hahahaa, Yes, the students are awesome!
Great experience you used to have up there in Oklahoma. Lovely day to you!
Subhan Zein

Subhan Zein
Wonderful post
Thank you. I appreciate your comment!
Subhan Zein
I LOVE IT! By the time I got to the end of your post my mouth was already watering LOL! Delicious food, some of which I have never heard of! I must search around Auckland, NZ to see if I can taste some of those beautiful dishes. Thanks for sharing Subhan. It’s great to read a snippet of your life. Have a wonderful weekend. God bless xox
Hi Maryanne,
Thank you for your lovely comment. Yes, it was great to share the food with the students! After the lunch we listened to traditional song from our country of origin. We had a blast!
Lovely day to you, Maryanne!
Subhan Zein
That was something! Too bad it’s “eyes only!”
Ah, you should’ve been here!
Subhan Zein
Good afternoon Subhan, sounds like a feast indeed! You are tempting my tummy! Everyone looks happy also. Food is such a great equalizer and connector.
SomerEmpress
Yes, thank you, Soma! We had a blast! Awesome experience!
Subhan Zein
wow..so many cuisines together..lucky you!!
nice post:)
i think i should go to my kitchen..LOL
hahaha, please don’t get upset if you go to your kitchen but find no Nasi Goreng.. LOL
I suppose the Punjabi Samosa is good enough for you for a taste for some Indian cuisine..
Subhan Zein
No matter what we eat, it always tastes better when shared with friends! (well, except for fried liver and onions!) LOL I’m glad you had such a grand feast of food and friendship!!
Hi Jeannie,
Yes, you’re right. The students were so excited when I told them that I was going to cook them Nasi Goreng. And when I told them that it’d be great if they could bring some food from their country of origin, they were more than happy to do it. We had a blast!
Subhan Zein
Very cool! I would have chosen to attend this international eating fest than any popular restaurant! You are very lucky to have such international friends that are willing to share a bit of their culture with you =)
Hi Frances,
Yes, thank you. You’re right. My students are really cool!
Subhan Zein
wow that all looks so delicious! now Im hungry!
Seriously? Which one would you like to have?
Subhan Zein
Since Ive tried a hot pot before, but none of the others I think I would like to sample one of each. lots of yours ha ha ha
ahahahaha, What about Nasi Goreng a la Subhan?
Subhan Zein
sure why not? I like to try new things.
An international feast, for sure. There wasn’t one that didn’t look yummy.
It’s always nice to have parties where evryone brings something. The
meal is much more delicioud because there is love in every bite.
Great posT ….
Isadora
Hi Isadora,

Culture is amazing, isn’t it. Those food looks scrumptious!

Subhan Zein
The food sounds yummy. Looks like you had a fabulous time. In the fall, my students wrap up a “Suitcase Project” with a party – bringing food and “souveneirs” from a country of their origin. Like yours, we have a great time. Thanks for sharing.
That sounds great, Judy!
You must have a blas with your students. I’m happy for you! Lovely day to you..
Subhan Zein
What a delightful post Subhan! Thank you for sharing about a glorious feast shared with love and deliciousness with your students from all over the world. Inspiring! And yummy

Lovely day to you!
Subhan Zein
What beautiful pictures! I can’t think of a better place to be than to share a meal with friends around the world. And you seem to have the whole world right in one room that day Subhan. Many greetings and always love for all that you do! Sharon
Thank you, Sharon!
Yes, we had a great fun. After the feast we listened to Youtube to get songs from our country of origin and we were all dancing. I was the most awkward one, but who cares! We had a blast!
Much love to you. May you wear a smile in your heart, Sharon!
Subhan Zein
you got me hungry from the pictures
Hi Russell,
Hahaha, which one would you like to try?
Subhan Zein
Hi,
Wow, what a fantastic variety of food, and it all looks great, and oh yes definitely hungry now.

Great, Mag! Which one would you like to try, now?
Subhan Zein
I’d like to try a bit of everything.
Omgosh beautiful …I’m so hungry. I so wish I was in that class! Everything looks delicious! !!’
Hi Venus,
You definitely should be with us the next time we have it here! Lovely day to you, my friend!
Subhan Zein
Asia has the best food.
You reckon? Well, it’s a compliment then. Thank you.
Subhan Zein
This is amazing! How is it that all these people end up in the same place and THEY CAN COOK? I love anyone who can cook, what a splendid international megafeast!
Thank you, my friend. I am humbly thankful!
It was a splendid international megafest, because after that we listened to songs from our country of origin. We had a blast! Lovely day to you!
