My 26th b’day with 30 foodbloggers at Wagaya
1 year ago if you had told me i would be having a birthday party with a group of people half of whom i’d never met in real life before i would have laughed. but magically the food blogging crew in sydney have become quite a close-knit community. and feeling ambitious i decided to try my luck in organising the biggest meetup evah at wagaya!
before entering the room you had to take off your shoes. for the floor it was all shiny and with cushions! a large lcd tv is also in the room if you want to play a video and theres also an ipod stereo hookup but for some reason no dock for the ipod so make sure you bring a charger! altho with 25 30 people in the room it will be so loud you wont hear the music =P
and just because i could, i decreed a theme- masquerade!
i had booked the largest private room available and was told it would fit 25 people. i uh thought that was just a ‘guideline’ so i squished in 30 foodbloggers heh heh sorry for the squishyness dudes!
but soon the food arrives and cameras are whipped out and soon the room is filled with a lightning storm of super bright flashes
the edamame is first to arrive and masks are set aside to eat properly
my babies! my absolute favourite at wagaya- the deep fried cheese! oh yes they were so tasty that i stole a bowl for myself heh i dont share my cheese =P
lotus root chips were so very moreish! i couldnt stop eating them!
takoyaki. um i dont think i ate these…
and then out comes the dreaded sushi roulette! heh hiding in one of those pieces is a giant ball of wasabi so hot that you will cry hehe um and yeah thats it for the food photos because i was too busy eating =P
group 1 with their sushi. minh is the lucky winner hehe
group 2. i think the lucky winner was trina?
