I had a good variety of food on the counter;
- Vegetarian rice vermicilli noodles (for those who were vegetarian and Muslim)
- sandwiches (ham+pickles+cream cheese and egg+tomato)
- Sambal boats (Spicy Malaysian sambal on cucumber boats)
- Cucur udang (A Malaysian snack made from prawn paste - deep fried with flour)
- Malaysian prawn crackers
- Salads (which nobody ate, haha)
- garlic bread sticks
- Everyone got to build thier own pizzas on Lebanese bread with an array of numerous condiments I had prepared. (I forgot to take pictures of the 20 over pizza's I was making throughout the party, my hands were dirty and I was too busy feeding everyone; anybody took pictures of thier pizza which I could have?).
- Butter cupcakes sandwiched with strawberry jam and iced with buttercream and tiny marshmallows cut in half as flower petals
- Chocolate pots and baskets (I baked chocolate puddings in tiny ice cream cones to resemble pots and stuck several lollypops in the middle with piped buttercream flowers around the corners)
- White chocolate puddings covered in milk chocolate toppings and strawberries
- A chocolate fondue made with lindt milk, dark and cadbury milk bars melted with cream, milk and a dash of mocha coffee powder. Everyone loved this part of the party!
A special thanks to everyone who came by, Amrit; who helped clean the house, Pinky for having to do so much chopping and dicing! and Artem for doing the 'man-ly' electrical+ moving furniture chores and helping me make pretty stick kebabs of berries, pineapple and marshmallows. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did! I managed to keep within our budget of less than $40 per person between the 3 of us for the ingredients and party necessities and we intend to have more parties in the future! 
ps: Those who would like recipes for the food last night; email me some requests and I'll post them up for everyone.

hey, can u teach me how to make those fruit baskets and chocolate pots? i really love them! they are so beautiful!
hey yeemei, It's really easy...use any rich chocolate cupcake recipe you like and bake them in tiny flat based ice cream cones which you can find at supermarkets. (lookat my pictures as reference). Fill your cones a little less than the brim. Bake your cupcakes in the cones at 170-175 degrees in the oven. When you remove them, they will sink a little in the center. Melt chocolate with cream to make a nice smooth gooey chocolate mixture and while still warm add a small dollop of butter to make it shiny. Spoon the mixture into the center of your pots. Leave to cool. Make a small batch of buttercream and divide into 2 batches. Leave a batch white and the other colour pink with food colouring. Pipe out tiny flowers around the corners of the pots after they are completely cool. Insert lollypop into the center of the pot. This may be a little fiddly depending on the density of your cake; the lollypops may begin to tip over if the chocolate mixture is still soft and the cake is light. You may need to wait about 3-4 hours until the chocolate is set before you pierce it with a lolly. Tell me how it turns out :)
if you want my personal chocolate cake recipe as well, give me an email.
oh yes...i forgot to mention...if you intend for them to be fruit baskets....add a couple of strawberries on top, or omit the chocolate cream mixture and fill chocolate pots with gummy lollys shaped like fruit :)
thanks for the tips!
u gave me the sudden urge to terrorise my kitchen! *smacks head*
i'll let u know the outcome of my 'masterpiece' ..hahaha....
the party was awesome! we all had heaps of fun and the food was delicious - no surprises there! thanks for putting it all together!
Btw, I was interested in the Cucur Udang. they were so addictive. How do u make them?
hey nali :)The cucur udang is probably so addictive because it was deep fried! haha everything deepfried is crisp and ever so eviL! The cucur was made with a mix bought from the asian stores down the street. I had udang; which means prawns, but there is also the plain one, an onion one and some other flavours as well. I'll buy a pack for you when im over there again as you may need to know Malay to read the packet and understand the steps written at the back.
so true ;)
thanks
