My friend Ivy moved in a new apartment and she invited me and a couple of our mutual friends to come to her place and have dinner. The other friend of mine, Kris, took charge of preparing all the food as he’s really passionate about cooking. The way he managed to cook while chatting to us as if it was the easiest thing to do genuinely amazed me. He washed the eggplants so elegantly and chopped them into cubes with a precise measurement to the length of each cube. The sounds of the pot of stew being boiled, the knife hitting the cutting board and the mellow music playing from the speaker gave out a sense of home that I rarely felt in the 4 years living away from my parents. There were at least 10 dishes on the table when he finished. The food was incredibly tasty and he took our compliments very proudly when we complimented on the food.
