Part 1 is this first post of the Mothers Day Gathering pics we will show the food first.

This was a potluck gathering on Saturday 14 May 2011, for which members brought some food and drinks to supplement the base supply of food and drinks by the hosts Mr. Alan Yit 易俊雄先生and Mrs. Lily Kong-Yit 江莉莉女士.

A big thank you must go to the Yit Family for a very successful Gathering. Mr. & Mrs. Yit were charming hosts, and their sons and daughter-in-law are efficiency personified.

The Mothers Day cake shown here was sponsored by our host Mr. Alan Yit. Thanks, Alan!

The spread of Hakka food brought by the members are shown here:

Our Honorary Advisor Mr. James Chong 张仕煌and Mrs. Chong brought not 1, but 3 bowls of this delicious Hakka Kiu Nyuk 客家扣肉：

Look at these mouth-watering Hakka food! Thanks to all the members who brought them!

Just look at these again. Many members say they can't wait for the next HakkaWA potluck gathering.
