Easter amuse-bouche

*yawnzzz*
*dead tired*
I’m half asleep while writing this post so don’t expect too much from me today. Just a few appetizer photos from last Sunday’s annual Easter family reunion.
Mom and I baked quiches to bring to the party. This is the one I baked – chicken ham and mushroom.
We also ordered some hakiens to bring over there.
In Mauritius we call these hakiens, even though some people refer to them as spring rolls. Hakiens are not spring rolls but they look quite similar. While the traditional spring rolls are wrapped in rice papers, then fried to a crispy golden color, hakiens are prepared with flour-based batter. The filling usually consists of ground chicken or pork, shrimps, chopped shiitake mushrooms and shredded carrots.
My cousin made some Japanese delicacies. I don’t remember what she called them. Hahaha! I couldn’t resist to snap a photo – I think the Japanese appetizers looked nice and very colorful. I didn’t taste any though ’cause I’m no big fan of raw fish.
I didn’t take much food pictures because I was busy setting the tables. But just to make you drool some more, I’ll list some of the other dishes we had. Hmm, there were dips and finger foods such as spicy chicken bites, crab dips and bacon wrapped asparagus. Main course and side dishes included fried noodles, seafood gratin, mixed salads, coleslaw… etc. I forgot what else! All I know is that there was enough food to feed an army! And since it was Easter, dessert was mainly brownies and chocolates. Wow, for sure that was a feast.
Are you guys feeling hungry? 
As for me, it’s almost bedtime now. There’s nothing Lady Ångele likes more than a good night sleep. Sweet dreams. Zzzzz….
I just woke up, and I’m so hungry!!
Nice photos.
I miss my sister’s baking and my mum’s hakkiens.
you make me hungryyyy!! crispy hakkiens, I mean hehe
OMG! I totally want the hakiens and the quiches! They look so good. And I think I’ll take a little dessert after that as well. XD
I could kill for that quiche.
To day-dreamer,
I hope you had a huge breakfast then
nah…it’s not vegetarian! so me definitely not hungry la!
To Aline,
Oh your mom makes homemade hakkiens?
I’d love to learn making hakkiens! We usually buy at restaurants or order from a woman in Port-Louis. That woman does one of the best hakkiens I’ve eaten so far.
To _butt,
Help yourself with some hakkiens
Do you have hakkiens like these in Malaysia? I was searching the web to see if hakkiens had other names in other countries but found nothing.
To Morinn,
Of course you should have some dessert afterwards.
*give brownies and chocolates to Morinn*
A meal is never complete without dessert, right?
To Jemima,
I love quiches too. Yumm yumm! I learned to bake quiches from my mom but I still think she makes the best quiches ever.

It’s never too late to have a snack… even at 10pm!
To Nussaibah,
I didn’t taste the sushi. I’m not at all into raw meat. But by the end of the meal, there were no more sushi left. So I assume it was good and people enjoyed it
seem yummy the japanese delicacies win the best prize
To Yusha,
I didn’t eat any because of the raw fish but I think Japanese cuisine is very colorful
