November's almost at an end and that means we're wrapping up our Most Memorable Meal photo contest with the following entries!

This is a photo of a cake from Duff Lange on our dining room table. We were celebrating a family member's birthday and an early Christmas (suggested by the cake's color scheme). The cake was one of the best I ever had! Though whether a cake can be considered a meal is certainly a discussion, I can guarantee that eating a slice of it felt like finishing an entire meal! Its color, rich taste and sheer size says it all.

On the seventh day of the Chinese New Year, which is known as 人日 (Rén rì) meaning it's everyone's birthday! We celebrate with a Prosperity Toss (Lou Sang) - a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor! This is our homemade version of the Prosperity Toss.

On November 19, the PECB has its annual Cultural Day in which many different countries from all over the world set up a stall to represent their food and culture. This picture is of the Uzbekistani stall - the people were extremely polite and the food was delicious! It was all homemade and my favorite dish was the fried potato dumplings (barak) where were crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside...

*Even though this Memorable Meal was not from the previous year, we had to include it as such a fun concept for a school dinner!

"This was a Roman Banquet dinner in British School Manilla where the parents dressed as slaves and served the kids. It was hilarious and the kids still talk about it!"
