House, Heart And Tummy Warming

In these days of economic instability, it is very heartening for me to hear when my friends decide to buy themselves property. If one has a roof over one's head, everything is a little easier. As such, I was more than happy to get myself lost trying to find Sharon Tan's new apartment block.

Luckily I took a quarter of the time my other friend, Jo-Lynn did. She took the grand tour of Subang, Kelana Jaya and back, which lasted a good two hours!

Still, it was time well spent because there was a lot of good feeling at this event. Sharon was surrounded by people who loved her and wished her well, including her mother, father and brother from Melaka, as well as friends from college and work.
All the bounty of a new beginning.

Sharon's mixed veggies. Loved the bamboo shoot!

She insisted on feeding us all, so she actually cooked on her first day into her apartment. She made chicken curry, pork vermicelli, mixed veggies and a platter of sausages as well as her mum's home made otak-otak. She also bought a tray of sushi. Needless to say it was quite a feed!

 One of Sharon's bosom buddy's mum contributed a special touch - abacus balls. These are fantastic rice flour dumplings stuffed with minced meat and vegetables which are a real challenge to make. These were amazingly good and 100 percent home made. Yum!

With food and friends like this, Sharon's new house is bound to be filled to the brim with love and luck!
