The day we jalan Raya...

Is it too late to be talking about Hari Raya?

Yup, my jalan raya came late for us…well, at least for Mat, Mas and myself (the husband was too sick to jalan raya).

1st Stop : Mountain View, Lilac's and Sam's house. Lilac made delicious tandoori chicken, meat curry and cheesecake yummy….sehingga menjilat jari. There was also beryani and other food on the table. The raya kueh hmmm…wish I ate more suji kueh when I was there!

2nd Stop : Walnut Creek, Sharun's house. Another place to binge and sabotage my diet. Kuah lodeh, lontong, rendang and more kueh! Time to catch up with Sharun, almaklimlah, jarang berjumpa!

1st time in my life had I driven more than 50 miles in a day! Bravo to me!

I had a great time with Lilac, Sam, Alya, Sharun and her brood :). I am sure Mas and Mat had a great time too!



Yummy food prepared by Lilac

Please ignore the rice on my plate :)
