The Very First Meeting of the BBQ Gang

It was a kinda cold and very hungry night in September 2007.

The students of MC were either gorging themselves

on cafe food or gobbling mama for the night.

Rin and Ning and Wanna, the very-new-freshmen in the college

were wondering whether there were other options.

Seeing their wondering faces,

Gain, an old and experienced Thai food finder of MC

decided to bring them to one of the ultimate food heavens of Muak Lek town:

**HAWAII**

Rin and Wanna before the trip.

Wanna and yours truly before the trip.

The trip was to be made on motorcycles,
so Jimmy from Singapore was assisted the honourable mission
of bringing Rin to Hawaii.
Gain himself brought Ning and Wanna.

PEACE! Blur. PEACE!

Hawaii turned out to be a famous BBQ shop in Muak Lek town,

aka one of the favourite 'yum cha' spots for MC students.

Named Hawaii for the many nipah-roofed huts as stalls.

Rin and Ning as they waited for the pans to be set up.

In minutes upon the BBQ gang's arrival, pans and coal were set up.

The gang chortled in delight at the sight of meat and vegetables,

piling plentifully upon the tables.
All participated in cooking the meat and vegetables,

as well as in demolishing them.

Couldn't believe that these two freaks always look good no matter when.
Notice the steam and the meat browning nicely on the pan, people.

Yours truly in the process of getting her first bite.

The meal was filled with laughter and joy.

The climax was reached when the owner of the shop came to the table

smiling pleasantly and bowing politely, asking yours truly to descend from her chair.

The moment her feet touched the ground,

the kind owner gently slid another chair under her first chair

and VOILA!

2 chairs for the midget,

to ensure that she could reach every piece of food on the table!

This is what we call FIRST CLASS SERVICE.

In no less than an hour the food was gone.

Time for our departure.

It's ages since our 1st meeting,

but the warmth and satisfaction, along with contentment

of the meeting remains in our memories.

As the weather gets colder and colder,

our minds flew back to the warm fires of our very first visit to HAWAII.

Poem of Honour to the Fire

Oh, fire, fire,

Glorious fire,

May we ask in humble airs,

"Where art thou?"

We seek thy pretty face,

to warm our coldest days!
