International Food Festival (part 2): The FOOD

African Food <Checked> you got it. Although I am a vegetarian, the festival was like heaven since I still could eat lots and lots and endless arrays of food from all over the world--literally. Some African food from several countries were specially prepared by students from the Africa Continent.
* I love the colors. In fact, I kinda enjoyed their rice. 
Being an Asian, I love trying out other Asian countries' specialties. This is a Cambodian, wait..Myanmar...wait..The Philippines ...wait...Thai...oh well....I am sure that those countries have similarities of using 'pineapple' to be one of the ingredients in making fried rice. and yes..this is pineapple rice.
hmmmm...I'd love to have this food once again...and again...and again...
Then I continued my journey into...oh no..I should've remembered in which part of the world I was in. 
Okay..the salad was good...and I love the potato tots.  
European friends prepared cake and this was splendid. ...
again..I should've asked to what specific country this cake derived from.
*Oh, I must've been busy holding my plate full of food while taking pictures of the stalls and booths.
Simply oblivious of the fact that I needed to jot down there they come from. 
Then, off we went to Central Asia...and oh, Kazakhstan food was another thing worth-trying for. and..wait...I thought I saw some "resoles" here. I thought that these were Indonesian food.... and..yes..I was right. It turned out that Kazakhstan and Indonesian friends united themselves to present their food at the same table and group. 
Oh, this is the Ethiopian Coffee I was talking about at my other entry.

International Food Festival (part 1): Ethiopian Coffee

 It got my attention. The spread-out ingredients on the floor as soon as I stepped out of the elevator and turned right into the venue.
Yes, Ethiopian friends prepared the traditional making of their coffee drinking culture.
Although I am not an avid coffee drinker, this surely ticked my inner 'adventurous' ego.
First, what do popcorn have to do with coffee? 
Then..there are real coffee, the kettle, the beans, the incense, ... 
okay, I would love to try it out and asked the lady who's serving the presentation.. 
  
It was served right in front of us...for the sake of pure and live experience. 
and...do I like it? Yes, to my surprise..I do...I mean I did.
I was taken aback for a moment as I sipped it since it was the strongest coffee I ever tasted. 
Luckily, the lady offered me some sugar ..and with two spoons of additional sugar, my first Ethiopian Coffee experience went smoothly into my memory.
