Clam bake is a traditional method of cooking foods, especially seafood such as lobster, mussels, clams, crabs, etc..... The seafood is often supplemented by sausages, potatoes, onions, carrots,  corn etc. 

We had a similar party a few years ago and we had a great time but unfortunately we did not take any picture of the event!  This year I will make sure Hoa will take a few pictures so when can look back in time and remember the event.

Originally we organized this party for kids because it is Spring Break but in the end only Ludo, Lea, Nam Chi, Julian, Nicky, and Spencer were available, but we went ahead with the plan.

We did not pick a great day for a Clam bake.  It was raining non stop since early morning but the party must go on...

Phuc bought a special stove (on the left) for this party so we can have two large pots to cool all of our sea food.

W bought a total of 14 lobsters, some of them can be seen on the floor in this picture.

The water is boiling and Tuan is putting the lobsters in the pot.

Because there are so many of them.  Tuan had to boil them in two batches.

Cooking more lobsters...

Second batch is ready!... I think all the food are cooked now!

Time to eat.

In the kitchen, Hand is cutting the bread and inserting butter inside.

The bread will be baked so that it become crispy and the butter is melted.

The group sitting down for dinner!

We made is very casual and we are eating with our hands..

So fun and so messy but oh so good!
