Happy Birthday, Kurt!

Dev & I hosted the last dinner before we leave for Malaysia. Coincidentally, Kurt's birthday happened to be on February 10, so dinner was hosted on the 9th.

Shoba came over to help prepare chili chicken with onions, and it was so delicious! I truly enjoyed it. I prepared the Malaysian-style pickle (acar)-carrots, cucumber, long beans & pineapple cubes. Our friend Atikah prepared chili anchovies (sambal ikan bilis & petai). We also had boiled eggs, cucumber slices and a Jamaican dish "jerk chicken", chicken marinated with jerk sauce. It was spicy and lovely, prepared by Ian's dad.

Rice was cooked with coconut milk, and the entire dinner combination was known as the famous Malaysian cuisine "nasi lemak".

Ian's parents are in town for two weeks. After dinner, we played the board game 'Taboo'. At midnight, carrot cake with frosting, made by our friend Rosie, was a surprise for Kurt. The cake - just delicious!

Our Malaysian friend Devaraj brought chocolates, and indeed he had a fantastic time with us. It was indeed a truly Malaysian dining experience!
