Kueh Pie Tee & Popiah

It was pretty awesome of C and D to have us over at their home for dinner, along with all the floofs! Mogi is the Boss-Pup and host. C said he has never had 'friends' over in this manner, so she herself was a tad nervous to have four floofs in the same space. But they always hang out together, and they get along well, so we thought to try. C is so brave and gracious. 

There was yusheng for lo-hei, of course. Some people in our midst needed to hit 10 lo-hei this season. Our yusheng platter from Donki tickled me to no end. It held no shredded vegetables (quite normal), so the friends ditched it. Since B bought and brought roasted meats of siew yoke and char siew from Maxwell Food Center, we used those instead — added them to the platter to be tossed. The friends coined it 'babi-sheng'. Hehehehe.

D and C whipped up a whole pot of itek tim, and painstakingly shredded ingredients for kueh pie tee and popiah! These, took them the whole day to prep, and a lot of shredding and boiling were done. All of us totally appreciated their efforts. We ate loads, and ate them all. We couldn't finish everything, of course. But we made a sizeable dent.

While I don't bother with the contents of the itek tim, the others do. So they happily ate up the duck meat and everything else in there. I simply went for the soup, which was really excellent. The saltiness from the salted vegetables were wonderful. For a second, I almost wanted it more salty, but never mind. This would do beautifully. Hurhurhur.

M loves kueh pie tee and went for broke, completely ignoring the popiah skin. I ate one token kueh pie tee. Then I ditched it in favor of popiah. I like that a lot better than the crispy kueh pie tee shell. I didn't bust the popiah shell. Filled each one conservatively with the ingredients evenly. The bangkwang was really the star, My final count was seven pieces of popiah. I was absolutely stuffed. 

There was cake for dessert, and more wine. There was even durian, of which only D and D wanted to eat. Hahaha. None of us could tahan durians. Those two gleefully ate the four seeds specially frozen and kept for tonight.

The four floofs were completely chilling out. There's Diva the cat in the room, but he was pretty much left alone since the safety gate did its job and kept all nosy floofs out of the rooms. We simply took turns going into the room to give Diva head and neck rubs. Every floof was rather polite and did their own thing and found their own spot. Mogi was quite the perfect gentleman. He was comfortable with all the humans and chilled out easy with his floof-guests. Yayyyyy.
