KOPITIAM - 18 FEBRUARY 2012

Kopitiam - 18^th February

Two weeks after MASSA's big Chinese New Year Homestyle event, MASSA members were once again invited to join yet another makan-session: KOPITIAM,  a laid-back breakfast session - the Malaysian-Singaporean style. 

And what's on the menu, you might ask? Anyone want to make a guess? 

YES! You've guessed it right!!!!

THERE's KAYA TOAST -our all time favourites or also known as ROTI KAHWIN back home,

porridge with century eggs and you cha kueh, 

EEEEmmmmmmm doesn't it look DELICIOUS!!?

Soya bean milk and of course some delicious half boiled eggs!!! 

The event started at around 11 a.m, with MASSA execs busily scurrying around to get everything laid out and in place before the first member arrived. Slowly but surely, more people joined us and everyone started to have a good time, sitting in big groups and chatting away.

What's so funny? Ming Hwei (VP Events) and Youha? =)

Keep that KOKO KRUNCH safe SASI!!!!

And in case you are wondering where did we get the kaya from? Well, its made by none other than our dedicated execs, Wayne, Jasmin and Arjoon staying up late into the night cooking up this delicious concoction. If you would like to try making some of your own, don't hesitate to ask these experts for some advise!

Cheers,
MASSA Execs
