We've been really busy here in KL, what with the eating and marathon Thai massage sessions. V loves it here, she has many cousins to play with and they spend all their waking hours running and games around the house, just as I used to do when I was her age.
For my third sister Wai Fun, who runs the catering business Special Treats, this is also the time of the year when she gets into full Christmas mode, catering for parties and selling her popular mincepies, puddings, hampers and roast turkeys with all the requisite trimmings. This year she came up with her version of confit de canard, and when they fry it up in the kitchen the kitchen smells amazing, I usually end up begging for 'imperfect' pieces of the ducks all crisped up and still tender and juicy. And then there's all that beautiful hams, roasted racks of lambs, bite-sized treats of canapes and all manners of sweet and savoury tarts, as well as hearty paellas and even local dishes like nasi lemak and meesiam.
Every Thursday she also operates a stall at the Fiesta Nite at Plaza Montkiara from 3.30- 7.00 p.m, but for the next two weeks she will take the time off to concentrate on her Christmas caterings and orders. If you live in the Klang Valley, why not pop by to have a look? The Penang food stall two units to her left is pretty good too, especially their joo-her-char (braised julienned radish with mushrooms and dried shrimps), otak and achar.
