Burnt and Alive

Hi foodies! I am in Malaysia right now enjoying the sun a bit tooooooooooooo much. I am burnt and have turn a shade darker amidst the peeling skin. Ugh. I look every bit as awful as a snake shedding it's skin, a red snake for that matter.

Anyway, I just want to say that I am still alive. I haven't been able to post much food pictures/recipes/escapades because of the inconvenience of the extremely slow internet connection here. It's not a new thing that Internet in Malaysia sux even tho they give unlimited bandwidth.

I will try, try, try to post up new food recipes soon. I am very keen on the reunion dinner. My mom is making some of the most traditional Nyonya cuisine for us and rest assured, I will be helping her cook, eat and snap pictures. I think one of the things on the menu is Nyonya's Nasi Ulam ...or how should i put it...hmm...nothing comes into mind better than this translation: Nyonya Rice Salad :D It's full of herbs and spices and it's the perfect accompaniment to curries and sambal. *drooools* Alrighty, I will post soon *crosses fingers*

Have a Happy Chinese New Year if you're Chinese and have a good week!
