April Fool Was Never This Fun!
Last Sunday, which is April Fool Bakita and Beerbeer.org organise the 4th Thisrty Sunday. This time we theme under April Fool Edition. This is by far the hottest Thirsty Sunday ever, on most Thirsty Sunday, the weather are not that hot plus normally it rains.
The food for this round is Curry Mutton with toast for the old school style, Pie Tee for refreshing nice and easy palate, keropok lekor for an awesome beer snack, Bakita Nasi Lemak which have plenty of spice to make you jump around with good plate of compliment side dishes and Goreng pisang Bakita style serve with ice cream.
As for drinks, after a few miss on the last moment, we did get one thing right which is the Toddy. A few miss steps here and there, especially on the drinking department. First the beer was send wrongly, secondly the toddy only able to pick up 2 hours before the event and thirdly there’s no Toddy on draught as the original container was only 10 liter which is not enough to fill the people’s satisfaction. Gladly, everything turn out awesome. It’s sunday either way, so everyone have a happy mood.
The Toddy are very sweet and nicely balance in coconut aroma. To start with, this is not your conventional toddy which ferment on the tree and only used coconut sap. This is a confine fermentation toddy in a fermenting tank, beside coconut sap it also contain coconut water and coconut flesh. Interestingly normal toddy only ferment 1 day, this one stay in the tank around 4-5 days, I actually not sure how high is the alcohol percentage on this.
One thing for sure, many did enjoy it. Some already mixing it with stout for the old school aroma. Can’t blame them, as Toddy is famous for mixing with Stout to give the Stout extra boost in flavour and in our case we may just double the alcohol content. Who know?… haha
Like all Thirsty Sunday, it will not be happening if there’s no crowd. Like usual, our early comers adopt to enjoy Thirsty Sunday to the maximum by coming on the dot and drink, eat and merry all the way with their friends to extended hours.
I get kinda worried as not many people turn up before 4pm. Only few tables was occupied, I thought this will be a quiet Thirsty Sunday. So I also sit down and chill with my friends and it feels like my friends get together.
Most was quite shock to see the food we served, great compliment to Bakita for the great idea of serving local food with tapas style twist. Most will try all the food , sharing with their friends. Which is what Thirsty Sunday is all about.
My favourite is the Keropok Lekor which goes nicely with the Toddy. The fishy taste and the coconut fragrance compliment each other. The mutton curry is another of my favourite. Lovely beer snack.
Of course, more people turn up later. To my relieved the place is almost full by the time I notice it. I was having my own good fun drinking with all my friends that I forgot that we are the half organiser of this event… oops
Earlier crowd are quite chill by now, drinking, chatting and just relax. Going slower on pace to give some breather.
Many choose to go inside, as the heat on that day is tune to maximum. I chill my self with more drinking to cool down the heat. Ice cold beer, keep flowing down with nice snack food and toddy. Been mixing my drink a lot.
Table hopping is another things that regular in Thirsty Sunday will do. They will hop around table to table to meet new friends. They are like our ambassador, really love those bunch of people. Hope they don’t hustle anyone…. ya right!
Each individuals will experience Thirsty Sunday differently. Some just came for a chat, some came for drinks, some just want to chill out with friends, some look for new friends. We end with different type of laughter and yamsing (toast).
In the end, the prank is on us as so many turn up late. For the first half the place is quite empty and the second half the place is full up. You guys got me there. The most important thing, like all Thirsty Sunday…. Enjoy, laugh and chill! Till then, Cheers!
