Restaurant Yum Yum. A Nyonya place my Grandmother Loved.

My 48 year old cousin got married. They met in China and she's really really beautiful. Legs as long as a supermodels and skin as fair as porcelain. Though she's 24/28 years old. That's right, she's around my age. But she's married to my 48 year old cousin, who honestly looks very young in comparison to his age. And i had no idea they got married. I had just spent the whole day at the Lost World of Tambun understanding families and children.

So at 4.30pm my father tells me. - WE'RE GOING FOR DINNER.
Me: I'm like, I'm going to sleep.
Father : You're going for dinner!.
Me : No.
Father : Didn't your mother tell you that your cousin is back? We have to go meet his new wife.
Me: Huh? what the hell. They got married this morning? o.O? -
 Father: no, Last week.
Me: O.O? I'm exhausted
Father : You're GOING for DINNER!
Anyways, I went for dinner.

Very Celebrated Pandan Chicken. 

This is a Spicy, Sweet Sour Tofu. 

Dinner was interesting. It was at the usual Yum Yum Restaurant in town. Yum Yum serves Nyonya foods, and it used to be one of my Grandmother's favorite places to go to.  Upstairs we took up 5 tables. But the serving of food was so weird. Dishes kept coming, and there was no rice. 10 dishes were ordered, One after another piled up . We asked the groom's brother who is a chef at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, Singapore. -

It's Chinese Culture to have foods flooded out till you can't finish any of it. Having the families from China, we were being given a slight culture shock. 10 dishes, one after another came out. It's customary to eat these dishes without rice. Rice would be the last dish served as prosperity to end the dinner. Least to say there were Lots of foods unfinished.

Kerabu Chicken Salad or so 

 50 Dishes cooked for 50 people. Where none of the dishes were finished. Interesting Culture. This is the sign of Prosperity. At least i now understood why in China the people are not fat but prosperous. Here our people are very fat and that is prosperous. In a sense i do love China, it's philosophies and all that it used to stand for. Modern day however, there are cliches.

Deep Fried Brinjals with minced meat. 

To My new Cousin. : Welcome to the Family xoxo. To My Family : Ladies and Gentlemen, we have met China. :)
