A rice gruel party

My friend hosted a rice gruel party. We enjoyed the party. Since I have never been to such party before. I didn't know whether it was going to be exciting or not. When my friend and I arrived at the house, we saw a lot of side dishes laid on the table. There were salmon, kimuchis, seaweeds, plums, cheese and soup. There were also some seasonings such as salt, soy sauce, sesame and chives. We could combine our favorites the way we want. The party was very exciting unlike what I expected.
