As today is a public holiday, my kitchen is closed for the day. The three old folks went out to celebrate Deepavali at a favorite Restaurant to have Dim Sum. We enjoyed driving on the road today because there no traffic jam or angry drivers. My hubby bought some movies and we intend to just enjoy each others company, flop on the couch and be couch potatoes for the day.
Here are some pictures of the Dim Sum we had and the three old folks enjoying each other's company.

Hey do you also celebrate Deepavali festival.....I never knew Malaysian also has the same festival as Indians do....
ReplyDeleteHappy Diwali!!!
Sabby,
ReplyDeleteSure we do:D When I was youngyer, I used to wear Sari to visit my Indian friends on Deepavali day. My best friend's mum taught me how to tie a sari. Unfortunately I have lost touch with her. I wish she will see my blog someday and reconnect with me.
The more reasons to celebrate, the better I say! When that also involves lots of different ethnic foods, well that's even better :)
ReplyDeleteDaily Spud,
ReplyDeleteI cannot agree more with you:D
Hi, Quay Po. Thanks for leaving a nice comment in Pet Creek. Today I blog about Water Spinach in Onenezz but I didn't cover the cooking portion. Will leave that to experts like you. Your food photos look absolutely yummy.
ReplyDeleteHappy Deepavali!
Mmmm.. dim sum. Almost time for my next visit to a yum cha restaurant for some dim sum!
ReplyDeleteHappy diwali to you and your family. spread looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious. In fact, almost everything looks delicious!! (saying almost because I haven't seen it all...so far it's all:)) anyway, thanks for coming by and visiting my blog. I am now following you. I love to try new recipes and especially ethnic foods. Quick question: my oldest daughter just came back from Ireland and there was an Asian bakery there. All the cakes looked shiny and glossy. What is that? It was not buttercream or fondant like we use here in the states. REALLY glossy. I could post pic if you are not familiar. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Swathi,
ReplyDeleteThanks and Happy Deepavali to you too.
Hi One,

I just posted several pictures of cakes on my blog. I hope you can tell what I am talking about. They look so different from what we do here in the states. The base icing is glossy, looks almost like gel??

Adena,
ReplyDeleteIf I am no wrong you use powdered sugar and egg white to make the frosting glossy. Also I believe light corn syrup also being added to make the frost glossy.
