My first Jewish New Year!



Bernice and her home-stay family, from left, the son, paula( mother), Bernice, Norman(father), Annalisa (daughter)
The candles are lit up to symbolise start of a new year
soup: home-made soup made by grandma, grandma looks so elegant, she dresses just like what i imagine a european lady would wear ( I didnt take pictures of her..too bad:( )

This dish symbolises a sweet year ahead, you dip the slices of apples in the honey syrup and eat..very nice!!!
appetizer

salad
more salads!
Main course: Freshly barbecued lamb, roasted chicken with rice( the rice is different from singapore's kind, theirs are more mushy and soft)
This girl is very sweet! Shes the girlfriend of the son of Bernice's home-stay family
Dessert! home-made pear pie with ice cream!

Bernice's home-stay family are really really very nice people. They invited the 3 of us for a dinner to celebrate their Jewish New Year. Its really an eye opening experience, because I only get to see such dinner events on TV shows like discovery travel and living, 'come dine with me'. The dinner was a simple event for around 12 of us.First they lit up the 2 candles in the middle of the long dining table to symbolize the start of a new year. Then the wonderful dinner begins!
