I modified some of the recipes I found with the ingredients I could find here. The stuffing and gravy were the hit amongst the guests. The gravy was all gone during the first 20 minutes. Maybe next time around I should double the recipe. 

Adapted from FoodNetwork, I picked this recipe amongst thousands of other ones I have found because it was the simplest and seemed to be really easy. 

The turkey turned out to be moist and lightly scented with the aromatics. The brine flavored the turkey subtly. A perfect one for guests who had never had turkey before. 

 
A new anchovies dish that we experimented with for Thanksgiving dinner party. It received a rave review from our guests. The right amount of chili and the sweetness on the tip of your tongue will definitely make you dance. Well, not literally, you know what I meant. Definitely the easiest dish of the day.

We called this “Es Buah” in Indonesian language. My auntie made the best fruit punch ever. She was kind enough to make some for the party plus sharing the recipe. This is not your ordinary fruit punch, but rather cut up fruit with some sweet sugar syrup. Very simple to make, yet satisfying.

Whilst slurping away the sweet liquid, you can also munch on the chewy and juicy fruit. How great is that? Excellent for me who live in a country with 86% humidity all year long

This savory steamed pork dish is our family’s favorite. We eat it with a plate of warm steamed rice – always for lunch. This dish is quite salty, so the bland taste of the rice really compliments it.

The minced pork is paired with Tianjin preserved cabbage. It is finely chopped Tianjin (Chinese) cabbage preserved with salt and normally sold in form of ceramic container. The pickled vegetables is used to flavor the pork so it doesn’t dominate the flavor of the dish.
