Indeed memories are made of these... It's been a while since we did this, quite a long while. We used to gather to makan at the Loh's house quite often when the kids were younger. Since 'Aunty Molly' was around, the lady of the house decided to hold a makan... both of them cooked. The rest of us just 'pinjam' our mouths and stomachs to store all these. The two ladies cooked up a storm...'tu-kah-chor', sambal nenas, Molly's special fried vegetables and 'kamheong' prawns...and the 2 girls had also thoughtfully boiled 'sumboi' drinks as the finale....
Suffice to say, all of us enjoyed the meal...cleaned up almost everything. One difference now though is the girls are old enough to do the washing up after the makan. *) Our attention turned to this too - rambutan seeds in the hamster cage. Seems the hamsters have developed the habit of exploring beyond their cage at night to forage for stuff to take 'home'. They can push open their door. These seeds were our 'leftovers' of the night before and they had carted them into their abode. Their precious booty all tucked in a corner for their chow time! And in the mornings the two hamsters will find their way back into their cage again. LOL!
Apart from hamster talk, adults and kids alike...well that's how we entertained ourselves..while Molly slept on soundly on the reclining chair. This is what priceless memories are made of, don't you think? Tom and Jerry 'gelling' people together.... Ha! Ha!

i knew i shouldna be reading ur blog with all this food stuff before I have lunch...
nah, scratch that, my lunch will never measure up that feast
:( :(
sure cannot...mana ada 'tom and jerry' to gel it all together... ROFL! You ever tried haggis before???
yes, and i personally found it disgusting. it's oatmeal and other things stuffed in to a sheep's stomach. The other things can include meat, other intestinal products, vege (sometimes) and whisky. depends what area of Scotland you're eating it.
want to come & visit to try it? :p Scotland is only about 3.5 hours' drive away....
read some time ago that haggis is one of those top 10 food one must try to 'feel complete'. If I ever do go to your part of the world, I think I'd try it...just so that I can say I've tried it..you're on!
