Food Fest :)

Lim family gatherings are never boring. Even though we sometimes DO complain we're bored. But we actually aren't. Coz it's nice just to be all together in Malacca. Can't believe our Chinese New Year next year might not be there any more! *sniffles*

Anyway. We went down last Saturday coz the 3rd of July was my grandma's 1st death anniversary. (Dang, one year passed so fast, it's scary!) But true to form, we didn't just go to the grave and be done with it.

No.. Going to Malacca = PIG OUT! Yup, we ate and ate and ate and ate.. (no, Aunty Maureen, I'm not exaggerating :P). Let's see. We first started out with Nyonya laksa, mee siam, pai tee and popiah and a bowl of cendol. Then we went to have chicken rice balls (which provoked all kinds of "balls" jokes, directed at my bro who had the misfortune of being the only male around :P).

When we got back to the house, it was more food. Aunt from Singapore (who makes EXCELLENT Nyonya kuihs) had brought down tapai and kuih.. er.. I'm not sure how this is spelt so I'll just go with "ku" :P So we ate some more. Then we opened a packet of Tim Tams. Aussie Tim Tams, mind.

Went to church. Came back. Ate durians. Like, a lot of of durians. Like, a sore-throat inducing amount of durians. Couple of hours later, all teenagers and a few adults went out for satay celup, where we ate more than 120 sticks between us.

And this was all in one day. Haha.

Have I painted a picture of us as gluttons? Nah, we're just typically Malaysian (lol!) AND Malacca always brings out the crazies in us. Because the food is soooo good!!! (No wonder them Singaporeans always turn up by the busload just to eat.. hehe.)

Just a tiny admission - I confess to being an idiot and allowing my mind to wander when I was there. Sigh. He's stuck in my head!!!! I tried focusing on hotter guys, but noooo. He just wouldn't budge. Pah. Irritating.

I miss Malacca. I wanna go back for CNY!!!! *sobs*
