Family ties

So far I’ve been having an amazing time at home.  Mom and I’ve been to the mall quite a lot to do some Christmas shopping and some more last-minute Christmas shopping.  It’s been great to be back in civilization and it’s so nice to just quickly get in the car and drive down to Starbucks for a coffee or just pop around the corner for an oh-so-much-needed chocolate and not worry about having to drive almost three hours to the nearest big town. 

On Christmas Eve my whole family were invited to the neighbours for dinner.  Annie did a splendid job catering for 60 guests.  Half of the dishes I would rather not try to pronounce (I might just say something I’m not suppose to), but basically it was some sort of chinese noodles, prawn curry, mutton curry, beef stew, chicken wings, turkey, rice, chicken and beef satay, a weird-looking green leafy thing with a buttery sauce, and some freshly sliced fruit cubes.  It was delicious!!  We were all wondering whether or not we’re getting dessert, because the table with the dessert stuff had a big pot of what looked like sweet potato soup.  When we asked Annie about it, she said that is the dessert.  She told me the name of it, but once again I would rather not try to type it.  It looked like old dishwashing water with cubes of sweet potato in it, but smelled really sweet.  I didn’t try any….I don’t eat veggies as a main dish, so why would I want to eat it as a dessert??  Well, my dad said that it tasted really nice, so I will take his word for it.

On Christmas day, after church, we drove to the nearest monorail station, hopped on the train and went to Suria KLCC for lunch.  We had a lovely Christmas lunch at Chinoz at the Park.  My dad has an amazing sweet tooth and we decided to do some restaurant hopping.  We took a taxi to Pavillion mall and after scanning the area decided to go to the Chocolate Lounge for dessert.  Cute little restaurant that serves chocolate with everything on their menu!  We then hopped back on the train to where we left the car and drove to Sunway Pyramid to find a place where we can have some coffee. 

On monday we fly to Bali for a couple of days.  I will probably have lots to tell and lots of pictures to show when I get back. 

Ciao…
