Last Saturday, 5 October, the W&T team were aflutter as we were taking part in the first-ever Southeast Asian Street Food Market on Union Street. Being 'virgin' street food vendors, we didn't quite know what to expect, plus, I am cooking at home, which as you can imagine, has all the constraints faced by any home cooks. For example: only four hobs, so timing is crucial. Scaling up the number of portions can be an exercise in logistics, and I am quite an undisciplined cook -- I eyeball everything and taste as I go, so... Anyways, what can I say? we had a ball serving our 'signature' dish -- Nasi Lemak -- a Malaysian favourite. The event ran from 12pm to 6pm, though by about 4pm, we were sold out. The throng of people that came throughout the day was wonderful to see and one could tell that for many people, this was a first-time foray into Southeast Asian food. The feedback from visitors was very encouraging; the word 'yummy' was overheard too many times to count :) And many also asked when the market would be repeated again. There was much to try: Burmese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Malaysian, Thai... And the vendors were a lovely bunch. This made for a convivial, party-like atmosphere, not quite unlike an 'open house' gathering one usually finds in Malaysia. Here, on behalf of the W&T team, we'd like to acknowledge the awesome effort by the 5 Foot Way team and especially Michelle Lee, who dreamed it up and made it happen -- a big 'thank you' from all of us at W&T. And for those who visited and tried out the offerings, we hope you enjoyed it very much.
