Flogger's Gathering
Floggers. F-ood B-loggers.
Love the contraction.
Love the people.
People who are passionate about one thing. Food. In all it's forms. In all it's glory.
It was like going to a meeting of Fighter Pilots. However, instead of "Maverick" and "Goose," you had "Babe In the City" and "boo_licious." Not to mention at least 60 others with nicknames ranging from "Xiao Long Bao" - who, I'm assured, is as juicy in the middle as the real thing - to those like me and Riz Ainuddin who use our real names.
I'm not even going to attempt to list all the names here as this post is intended to capture the flavour of the evening rather than the food. For that, you'll have to take a gander at my personal blog Kampungkayell which is more a life journal that includes food as one of the stars rather than a Food Blog per se.
It really was a privilege meeting so many people who are so passionate about what they do and it truly demonstrates the diversity of talent and tastes that Malaysia has to offer.
Many thanks to boo_licious of Masak Masak for organising this one. Also, many thanks to Elina, who organised logistics from KLUE and Sandias (Alfredo and Patrick) who put up with some of us loud ones in their comfy little corner in Damansara. Perhaps we should get a small group together to organise the next one and spread the load as it were. It's hell trying to get a group of people together. ;-) Trust me. I know.
The company was good, the restaurant was comfy, and there was free flow of Martell Brandy. What more could you ask for?
