In the past, we had fun with some "theme" nights trying to cook foods that were hard to find here (or just fun to cook). We had Mexican night and Moroccan night and Indian night. Unfortunately, the friends with whom we did these food nights left Singapore but... we found some new friends who like cooking and foods of the world so the food nights have started anew.
Last Saturday, we had our friends over (they have a boy Noah's age) for Ethiopian night. Seth had ordered spices and powders of various sorts when we were in the US and he and Noah had been working for a while on the sourdough starter needed for the Injera (Ethiopian bread).
Noah and Seth made injera (Ethiopian bread), Shiro Wot (a chickpea based dish), cheese, Ye'abesha Gomen (a collard green dish - we used sweet potato leaves as collard greens are not easy to find here) and Doro Wot (a spicy chicken dish).

(note the "Dady" place card in the back - Noah made place cards
for everyone entirely on his own...)

Maya liked the food the first night (Seth prepared a slightly less spicy version of the chicken for Maya and our friends' son) and LOVED the food the second night. We ate the left overs the second night and she ate and ate and ate... including the slightly sour injera and the slightly spicy chickpea dish.
