Guests for dinner




Baba's thought for today.
"Food should not be too salty, too hot, too bitter,
too sweet, too sour"

How coincidental that the quote for today is about food. We had two friends Dora and Mandy for dinner. I prepared a Malaysian favourite ...Hainanese chicken rice.Besides the steamed chicken, we served a steamed fish and 'bok choy' in oyster sauce. It was a delightful meal followed by dessert, compliments of Dora. It was from '21 cake' which is ordered online. It was a coconut cake with mixed fruit in the centre sitting on a generous bed of shaved white chocolate.

Applying today's quote, means that we have to be moderate in all we do. No excesses of any kind to achieve the yin-yang of life.
