The recovery - how about a 11:30am sleep-in and a very slow start to the day. A cup of tea and a sit out under the sun.
Bat around 2pm we went out for a typical Chinese Lunch of pork belly and pork in a typical Chinese marinate, rice, wontons, fried vegetables and other bits and pieces. The food the food it is amazing it is mind blowing but it's too much I couldn't eat like this everyday but hey when in Malaysia.
Unfortunately the battery had gone flat in the car so it was off to the mechanic to pick up a new one before heading to Taipang for tonight's anniversary dinner.
The drive was long, uncomfortable and hot but we made it and the next party was about to begin.
Tonight was Caths cousins 1 year anniversary and there were about 40 people around to eat and celebrate. First was the cutting of the cake and then an unusual happening took place - various members of the family feeding the bride and groom the cake.
Next was photos and I got in on few which was nice.
Ok wow next was dinner another huge feast - thank god I barely ate again today so I had the room.
On tonight's catered menu was various rices, noodles, pancakes, vegetable curry, chicken curry, spicy king prawns, fruit salad in satay sauce and then all the desserts: curry soup, jelly, cake and a shortbread cake. Oh my god I ate and ate and ate some more - its scary how much food I put away and the whole Indian were impressed at how well I handled the spicy food - most of them couldn't handle but I ate with no worries at all and was straight back for seconds.
I have fallen in love with Indian culture, the people, the food the spirit it's contagious.
Tommorow is the big celebration dinner so one more night of amazing food and good company here we come.
The rest of the night Cath and all her cousins practiced and choreographed a dance they would be performing at the wedding dinner - it was quite hilarious to watch and I am sure it's going to be hilarious on the night!
At about 1am we all went down stairs and as there was about 30 of us at the house set up small mats and sleapt in a big group on the floor - quite an experience but very nice.
