The story of the Accidental Macaroni con Fruit Salad

Its a festive mood at our house on the last day of 2011, my cousin was playing loud music on our karaoke as I was busy preparing for two salads,  macaroni salad and fruit salad. The ingredients were all ready on the table.

Macaroni Salad

cooked elbow macaroni
boiled chicken breast (shredded)
cream
onions
raisins
mayonnaise
salt

Fruit Salad

1 can fruit salad
1 condensed milk
1/2 jar kaong
1/2 jar nata de coco

As we all know, salad preparation is just simple. All you have to do is mix all ingredients, and that’s it, and I’m so excited since this would be my first on both salad. So I prepared two large container for both salad.

Again, the busy mood of everybody plus the ear-breaking music must have distracted my focus on what I’m doing. That’s when the accident happens! I mistakenly poured all the content of the condensed milk to the elbow macaroni, I was thinking it was the cream that I was holding haha!

There’s no way to separate the two (macaroni and condensed milk) so instead of spoiling my macaroni, I decided to just mixed all ingredients of the macaroni salad and fruit salad into one bowl (minus the chicken, onions and the mayo).

And so the Macafruit Salad was born haha! To my delight, everyone who taste/eat it, unanimously said that its so freakin delicous

Who would have thought that after tying the knots of my adidas superstar, my crew will be gone! haha!

Of course its a joke! But seriously, I really got lost at Hongkong Disneyland. And it took me more than 3 hours before finding my family and friends. I was already thinking of going back home, but unfortunately, I’d left the business cards of the hostel were staying. It might come in handy in asking directions from the native’s tsk tsk tsk. I then remember the costly ticket (HK399) that’s why I still stroll and ride around Disney hoping I bumped into my company.

Good thing its me and not my kiddo Sean Kirk who got lost. But we earlier anticipated for that, as we make some sort of I.D. or dog business cards for Sean Kirk and her cousin Ada (both 7 year olds) just in case they accidentally parted from the group.

The sad part was I wasn’t able to have a decent photos with Disney characters haha!
