What appeals to me in HDB? Out of question, group activities featuring cultural exchanges, potlucks and something else alike. Common meal is a tradition with a long history in HDB. Twice a month, we look forward to savoring gourmet food of different culinary skills on the evening of Friday. A congenial environment builds up as every member take active part in such activities regularly.

The dinner party kicked off at 6:30 on Friday. Five amateur cooks hailing from Japan, China, Korea, Thailand and Russia pulled off Chinese hotpot, Japanese bean starch noodle salad, Korean fried pork with kimchi, Pad Ka Pao Gai (Stir fried chicken and Thai basil), and Russian fish soup. What an amazing dinner!

Communication went smoothly among cooks and their assistants as they took on a concerted effort to present us their best cuisine. It was the first introduction for many of us to various food cultures and diverse dining etiquette from different countries.

Scholars of temporary residence at HDB are welcome to join us. More than ten friends who don’t lodge in HDB were invited to the party last Friday. Enjoying yummy cooking by ourselves, we shot the breeze, played games accompanied by piano melodies preformed by someone. It was indeed an awesome experience!
