Last night, the House of Syafi Safiya received our first guests from abroad; Australia, Malacca and Singapore to be exact. My stepmother's relatives were in Brunei for a short visit and we were delighted when she called me to inform their intention to drop by for dinner.
Apparently before arriving, they went to the Pasar Gadong night market to satisfy their crave since it was their last night in the country. To our amazement, they came with a large quantity of food (imagine coming back from the Ramadan bazaar during the fasting month) and all the food filled up two long tables!
According to them, all the food sold in the market are unbelievably cheap. I guess the thought of buying rice complete with chicken and sambal for only a dollar or a rice set with five large prawns for two dollars never crossed their minds. They tried to compare the price, and estimated that the same food would have been sold at least for $2 to $5 each back in Singapore. So people... be grateful with what we have now... Hehehe...
Here are pictures from last night. We really had a wonderful time...
