Happiness is all about FOOD
 A night before my MIL’s prayer, my eldest BIL prepared this for our dinner

A few hours before the prayer, we ate this for our breakfast

 After the prayer to our ancestors, we ate THESE…..

I really feel thankful and blessed for the abundance of food that is served. This is what we usually have on our table when there is a celebration in Kuantan.
This is only a partial of the food I taken on my camera. There were so many dishes practically all over our table that we can hardly finish even in 3 days. 90% of the dishes were prepared by our 2nd SIL (they are rotating each time) this time. I really cannot imagine how she did everything just in one morning.
My hubby’s family has a habit of cooking too much food whenever there is a prayer or celebration. But with so much good food at one time, I can’t even get to taste all of them at one time.
But now I am back here, how I wish there is only one dish from the above, ONLY ONE, that would appear on my table right now.




Wow!! Nice spread!!! Those meat balls look really good.. Actually, everything looked good..
