The Chinese New Year long weekend has been and gone and we have had a very busy and enjoyable time. For every festivity there is a dress up at Isaac’s Kindy for which a trip is made to the local department store to get an ‘authentic’ costume in keeping with the theme. Isaac loved his Chinaman outfit although I suspect the parents enjoyed the get together more then the kids lingering at the Kindy longer then I’m sure the staff would have liked. So cute.
Lina was working at home that day so we stopped off at for my favourite roti chanai at Rajus. Roti Chanai, a very popular snack in Malaysia is like a pancake with an Indian twist. A couple of puddles of gravy on the side….delicious.
On Saturday we were invited to a party to celebrate Sassy and Falk’s new born daughter, Ada. Sunday involved an early morning trip to the play ground at Lake Gardens. Out door activity has a short window in these parts given its 30 degrees by 10am (last weeks lunacy excepted, see ‘Walking Adventure’, 21 January) so we were finished by 11.30 before retreating to the comfort of air conditioning.
Apparently, a Chinese New Year is not complete without the appearance of a dragon and we were lucky enough to have a ceremony on our doorstep, outside the hotel opposite our condo. Isaac was initially terrified as the dragon dances to the beat of a pounding, incessant drum but eventually he could not stop talking about them for the rest of the day.
A morning at the Sunway Lagoon pool and slides, followed by a BBQ in the afternoon at Brian and Rachel’s place resulted in too much sun for me. Again! However this time I have the red back to go with it

Perfect Roti Chanai - slightly flaky, soft on the inside
