Let's Eat

Once every 3-4 months, students and staff at ETC bring food to share for lunch. This is the second time I get to experience this event (I even brought something to share!). The food that was put on the table range from many different cuisine such as Asian, Middle Eastern and European. I tried many things but there the 2 things that caught my attention. 

One was this dessert made by one of our Iraqi student. I don't remember the exact name of the dessert dish but it was really yummy! Very different from other types of dessert I have tried. I remembered the top was with grated coconut. It was not too sweet but too plain either, perfect finishing after the main course:)

Another dish I tried was 'Tea Leaf Salad' ... Interesting name? Certainly was interesting and very delicious. This dish is from the Burmese cuisine. Basically it's a salad but instead of the normal greens, it is with tea leaves instead and topped with crushed peanuts and some dressing. 

The food pretty much disappeared within 15 minutes! I guess this shows how hungry we were as well as how delicious everything was! This is how great it is when you have students from over 20 nationalities in one room! You get to learn not only the culture, but also what they eat...:)
