of Reunion, CNY and Nasi Ambang

the dish that you see on top is a javanese dish called Nasi Ambang. this dish is served in a big round tray or "dulang" and is shared between 4 people. this year my family decided to have our reunion over lunch rather than the usual dinner.. and wanting to make it more interesting we went javanese rather than chinese (giler tak give face kan kuarga aku.. dah sah sah CNY lagi nak jawa wowwwww) the preparation for this day took 2 days of slogging for the mothers in the kitchen (plus minus time off to play scrabble hahhh tahun nie main scrabble dan bukan mahjong ) in the picture under all that glad wrap theres about 8 different type of dishes and white rice... dont ask me their names im not chef wan k...
well the families started pouring in as the cold wind and rain poured on us during CNY eve.. yes they did (hahhh nie yang tak aleh aleh baki zainal rasa rimas.. dah lama sangat duduk hotel asyik kerja and being able to lepas mulut tak aleh aleh having to meet people that advisable you be nice to them kalau tak nanti mak marah kannn wahhh so susah k i nearly jumped out of my skin.. but hey ingat dorang pun nak bersedara ngan i ke? dorang pun takde choice k) anyways it was not as bad as i tot it was gonna be lar.. everybody played nice and civil, kayaknya ada juga keponakkan dari indonesia sama sam libur nyambut tahun baru kaum tiong hua.. but then even so no blood was shed i still ran out for a sec and caught a breather in starbucks (ohhh i got their new year key chain soo cantikssss)
back to nasi ambang below merupakan wira wira atau survivor survivor kita yang telah berjaya menewaskan nasi ambang itu dengan mengunakan kurang dari 4 kuasa manusia (tahap pelahap kira tinggi jugak lar k) hahahahahahaha
1st we have Dina wooowwwwwww siap baring untuk meng-adjust perut supaya ada lebih space .
ini pula gandingan Abg Og dan Uda nampak bertapa bersih dan licin daun pisang itu...
jangan sangka badan kurus tak kuat makan .. melissa masih kuat berjuang sambil disaksikan suaminya farin.......

well finally this is how the empty dulang will look like.. above all its such a cool idea this nasi ambang because you get to share and creat the bond with the people that your sharing the food with and at the same time you dont need to do much dishes....................
