Chinese Wedding Tradition

Normally, I always skips this part of a wedding each time someone is getting married. However, yesterday, I went to my cousin's tea ceremony. Hehehehe ...

After the church service, I went to Batu Lintang for kolo mee. Lucky that my godmum is there too as I have someone to help me finish up my kolo mee. Kekekeke ... Also my kopi peng. Actually, I want to order coffee with milk but less or no sugar (but I'm confuse with kopi kosong, kopi and kopi o). Hehehehe ....

OK, after the breakfast, I went to her house. Not many people that time so my dad, me, godmum and my little two niece went to Boulevard on foot (it's 2 minutes away from her house bah). The aircond in Boulevard is extremely cold (I wonder when will they get their electricity bills). When I get inside, a group of cleaners ask me some questions when they saw my niece. "Ini twin kah", "Mana satu tua" and "Berapa umur?". Hahahaha .. Yayayaya, they are twins and quite a naughty one too.

After that, my brother call and say they are already there. So, we head back to the house. First, are the tea ceremony. I realize there are few rules here. The couples need to serve tea for the older generations. Lady sits on the right while guy on the left. Tea are to be serve to the guy first. And the one being serve tea will need to give ang pau. I think it is representing good wealth. Not so sure... Hehehe.. If the elder generation are standalone (meaning either husband/wife passed away), then the lady/man need to drink 2 cup of tea. Hhmmmm... As for same level generations, if older than the couple, also tea will be serve to them. For younger age than the couple, younger one will serve tea to the couple and the couple will give ang pau to the young one. Hahaha, yayaya, this means I receives ang pau too. Hhmmm, I wonder who will serve the tea a person is younger than the couple in term of age but are higher rank in term of generations..... Hahaha..

Anyway, here are some of the photos of the tea ceremony... Kekeke ...



For me, I serve my cousin in laws tea as I'm younger. Too bad, no photos of me serving the tea now.. Kekeke...

Then, lunchtime!!! Here are the photos of the food. Hahahahaha ... I ate some lime chicken, honey chicken and vegetables. Yummy...!!!!




Hahaha .. I know... I took a lot of the food photos.......... Excited to see food mar.. That's me!

This is the driver

After that ..... I went home. First thing I do is take my bath, writing my blog, rest and then get ready for dinner...............Hehehehe ...

The First Confession - St. Mark's Church, Batu Kawa

Last Sunday is BF day of signing the "Book of Life" (I think that's what they call it). From the time table list, it is known as the "First Confession" day... Well, I translate directly the meaning since it's in BM. Hehehe... We arrived there at around 9am. Not many people there that time but there are people setting up stall to sell some food after the church service. BF told me that he had not had any breakfast yet and I nag him. Whahahaha! I had to sit separately from BF and dad since I'm not the godfather. Church service starts at 9.30pm. While waiting for the mass, I took pictures all around the church . Are they dreaming?? I took some picture when they signed the book. Well, I'm the only photographer that day. One thing different between St. Mark and my church is that during this kind of occasion is that in my church, there will be more than 1 photographers going all round taking photos or filming the whole occasion. I guess Father Lim like

Cozy Cafe, Jalan Song

Feeling hungry for something different on lunch time? Another place you can think of will be this restaurant - The Cozy Cafe. It is opposite One TJ with a black signboard. The environment is indeed cozy and warmth. Taste wise not bad but I can say that the service is a little weird. We order tea and they only permitted to give us 2 cup. Hhmmmm, I thought that we can just ask them to refill the pot wit hot water and share the tea amongst us. Guess this is how they earn more - limiting the number of sharing per tea pot. Oh well, got to just follow their rules. And this is what we ordered - sharing portion between a few of us. After all, ladies are small eaters. Mushroom soup with garlic bread Fish and chips Spaghetti Carbonara with hot dogs  Enjoy your lunch yea...

'Ma Li Chai'/'Mani Chai', also known as Cangkuk Manis

While googling for news about 'malichai', it turns out that I hardly get anything that I am looking for, so this triggers me to write something about this local vegetables that I believe, can only be found in Sarawak. 'Mali chai' is easily planted and grow quite fast as well. In fact, this is the only vegetables that I planted and it didn't fail on me! With its stick, just plant it on the ground and leave the rain and sun to takes care of the rest. Hahaha... 'Mali chai' is a word in hokkien that mostly use in Kuching. 'Chai' means vegetables. Hakka people called it 'su choi'. Well, this vege doesn't seems to have an English name. If we are to translate from BM to English, it definitely sounds weird - Sweet Hook. I think anyone who hear 'sweet hook' will not be keen to try it out.. So, how do 'mali chai' looks like? I've snap the photos of this vegetables at my garden. Actually, I've just harvest the vegetables few
