It was Jane's birthday a while ago and since she's gonna have a late celebration and left the birthday night free, so I kindly offered her some homemade Malaysian dishes that night as I know she's keen on Asian food. I was thinking before this, what's the safest Malaysian food to offer to angmo, provided that I know how to cook it? Definitely not asam curry or laksa or anything with sambal, which I usually cook. And I'm not sure whether claypot chicken rice is Malaysian or not as I used to cook it almost every week. And I don't know how to flip roti canai! @@" I think back again, I was once asked if there's any Malaysian soup. Then suddenly a light bulb poped up on my head. Guess what I've decided to treat them on a cold winter night?? BAK KUT TEH!!!! XD
I seldom cook it, maybe that's why I can't think of it. Haha. So we headed off to her place after our lab work and get ready for an awesome dinner. She put on a cow apron for me because she knows that I like cows. Lol. At the same time, she wore her bear onesie given by her boyfriend as birthday present. Now I understand why people love onesies so much. It is so super comfy and warm. It's a perfect winter pyjamas. I think my first onesie would be a pokemon onesie.
Jane and her red-haired sister. The two girls on the right, Alexis and Jade, are our Honours mates, but in they are in agriculture, and also Jane's housemates. They have a small vegetable garden in the yard. It's really a typical aggies' house. Lol. For your information, aggy is the short form for agricultural science students. Because saying 'agriculture' is way too long and tiring, so Aussies shorten it to just 'ag'. I find it very convenient too. Haha.
After gobbling up the whole pot of bak kut teh, we had to cancel our idea of having dessert. Glad that all of us went for second round. I was so surprised they've got rice bowls, saucers, Asian porcelain spoons, chopsticks and even chopstick holders! I don't think I'll ever need to use a chopstick holder in a house. Lol! So... since they've got saucers, I showed them how to eat bak kut teh with garlic mixed with soy sauce, and they absolutely loved it.
Alexis and Jade are actually twins, or two of the triplets, to be accurate. They showed me their pet rats. Look! So cute!
I let one of them run around my shoulders. It was so ticklish. They are actually more fun to play with than hamsters. Hamsters are too tiny and you can't squeeze them too hard.
It was an awesome dinner, cooked by me. Lol. And I don't have to worry about storing that big pot of soup, which is always the problem when I eat it alone. Now I know, bak kut teh can be anyone's all time favorite. =D
