Unplanned but successful

22nd January 2011


We had a special dinner just a few hours ago although it was unplanned. Daddy went to the fish market in the afternoon and as a coincidence, nini laki, nini bini and bungsu Hazim came by to drop our maid who had been helping them out to entertain a [catering] reservation yesterday. Nini bini brought some dishes as well for us that she had already cooked beforehand.

In addition to that, nini bini was also excited to pick some lamiding leaves - a fern-like plant that grows wild at the edge of our land - and wanted to cook them as well. As such, the dinner table was set and we had lots of varieties of food to enjoy.

On top of that, we had ambuyat too. We are proud to say that our parents have now mastered the skill of making ambuyat and their teamwork usually ends up in "deliciousness". Hehe!

Our dishes ~ from the top; fried "geronggong", salted fish in coconut milk (gulai lemak ikan masin), sayur pakis, sayur batang pisang and last but not least, the freshly-picked lamiding. Not in the pictures are udang galah rebus, ikan rebus, sayur bayam and Malaysian-style sayur lodeh.
