Brazillian Festival

After coming along with us for all our Malaysian festivals, eating our Malaysian food, tolerating our Malaysian talk, doing all our regular Malaysian stuff, we finally gave Douglas ( the only Brazillian, which we never let him forget) a break and went to a Brazillian festival. We had Brazillian dishes, dessert, and music. All in all, it was a pretty awesome cultural experience, I've never seen so many Brazillians in my life!! :)
Feijoada. A dish that consists of rice cooked with beans, some kinda vege, some kinda fried flour thingy which was delicious, meat, and oranges!! They have their oranges in their rice cause apparently it helps with digestion!! Which is weird. And the beans are kinda salty and garlicky.. (Which explains why Douglas once poured our sweet red bean soup all over his rice once!) So this is how a regular everyday dish looks in Brazil.
The chocolate thing in Lalita's hand is called a Brigadeiro. Its basically chocolate made into balls with condensed milk. The orange thing is called a Quindim, and its custard and egg I think. The white ball is a Pao de Quiejo ( I forgot the spelling) and its my favourite!! Its basically just bread with gloriously melted cheese inside!!! And the nipple-shaped thing is a Coxinha, its a fried thing with chicken and potato in there I think. And the flat thing is a Pastel... or Patel, whichever, that's fried pastry with either minced meat or cheese in there. We got the minced meat one, delish!!! :)
And this is a drink everyone drinks in BRazil... Its made from this fruit called the guarana... and its really really yummy. Its sorta an energy drink, only healthier. So apparently most people drink this instead of Coke.
THen there were some dancers in their traditional gear.
Traditional drums. THis was awesome!!!
The live Brazillian band. They played some really cool songs too.
The food area. The cooks were all Brazilian, and when I was there they were all speaking in Portuguese, it was so awesome!! It was like I was in a telenovela or something ( and you know how much I love my telenovelas!!)... Man I was so hoping one of them would speak to me in Portuguese and I could reply 'Eu no fala Portuguese, voce falo Ingles??' ( Meaning: I don't speak Portuguese, do you speak Englsh??' Muahahahahaha.

This was really an experience. Really enjoyed it, and Brazillian food is goooooooood!!!! :)
