Upon arrival, each participant was welcomed by a Malaysian drink, “Milo Dinosaur”. It is composed of iced Milo (a chocolate malt beverage) with undissolved Milo powder added on top of it. After that, our Associate College Master, Dr. Noronha delivered a welcome speech and showed appreciation to our Malaysian guest speakers, Mr. Mark Wong (ELC Senior Instructor) and Mr Phoon Shiuh Jer (UM 4th Year Student). They both felt honoured to represent their country and share Malaysian language, culture and food with our students through interactive talks and games.
After their sharings, the Malaysian students took the participants to the dining hall for making two traditional desserts, Onde-onde and Burbur Cha Cha. Onde-onde is a traditional green-coloured balls of rice cake filled with liquid palm sugar and coated in grated coconut. Burbur Cha Cha is a popular local dessert filled with yam, sweet potatoes, pearled sago in a warm coconut broth. While making the desserts together, the participants chatted with the Malaysian students and knew each other more. One participants shared that this was his first time to taste such delicious Malaysian desserts. Another participant shared that it was a new and interesting experience for her to make Malaysian desserts by herself. After all, this activity was a great success with the joint effort of Malaysian students from different residential colleges and the enthusiastic participation of our college students.
滿珍紀念書院呈獻：「舌尖上的馬來西亞」文化交流之夜
2019年2月27日，滿珍紀念書院有一群馬來西亞的同學，主動策劃了一個文化交流之夜的活動，名為「舌尖上的馬來西亞」文化交流之夜，並吸引了三十位參加者。當晚，每位參加者到達會場時都獲派發一杯馬來西亞的「米洛恐龍」飲品，以示歡迎。這是一杯冰美祿(含有巧克力和麥芽成份)，飲品加上浮在上面尚未溶解好的美祿粉未。 接著，副院長Dr. Noronha致歡迎詞，並感謝兩位馬來西亞的主講嘉賓，分別是Mark Wong先生 (ELC資深導師) 及Phoon Shiuh Jer先生 (澳大四年級學生)。他們感到很榮幸能夠代表自己的國家和大家分享馬來西亞的語言、文化和美食，並透過有趣的演講和遊戲和參加者互動。
分享環節結束後，馬來西亞同學帶領大家到書院的食堂，即場製作兩款馬來西亞的傳統甜點，分別是椰絲球以及摩摩喳喳。 椰絲球是一種傳統的綠色糯米球，內部的餡料為融化的椰糖，外部沾上椰絲。 摩摩喳喳是一種受歡迎的地道甜湯，主要材料有芋頭丁、地瓜、西米露和椰奶等。在一起製作甜點的過程中，參加者與馬來西亞同學傾談，增加了彼此的認識。有一位參加者表示這是他第一次品嚐美味的馬來西亞甜點。另一位參加者表示這次能夠親自製作馬來西亞甜點，對她來說是很新鮮和有趣的經驗。這次活動能夠成功舉行，全賴各書院馬來西亞同學的通力合作以及參加者的積極參與。 |
