Kenduri Bacaan




Last week Dinie was not well. He was down with bad fever and cough. So, on Saturday we went back to Tanjung Karang. My mother-in-law prepared a dish called Nasi Ambang for a kenduri called Bacaan. It is said done to help the child recover fast and not fall sick again (if i am not mistaken). Nasi Ambang is actually rice served in a big tray together with a few dishes (one of it is fried mee) and is eaten in a group (save on washing plates). The kids had their nasi ambang after maghrib.


Before that, for tea in the evening, i bought a cake from Secret Recipe - Chocolate Indulgence. Again the kids helped themselves to the cake. The leader was the 2nd eldest cousin who is 17 years old. The eldest cousin couldn't make it because she had exam (UITM). All in all there were 13 children and 1 baby. They sure had fun being the focus for the evening. Adults ate after them.

Wahh bestnya Nasi Ambang. We were once invited for a kenduri Nasi Ambang by husband's cousin in Banting sempena anaknya berkhatan. But unfortunately we couldn't make it that time. So until now, I tak penah rasa Nasi Ambang. At least I can savour the pics of it here. tq Doll.

p/s - Apa kata nanti raya thn dpn you buat Nasi Ambang and jemputlah we all datang... :)
