NIGERIA: Lagos: Eid al-Kabir/Eid ul-Adha 2016 (Part2)

What a difference a year makes, we met Malaysian that had been here for the past 8years, Nigerian house wives (Malaysian ladies married to local men) and new families in Lagos. One family arrived less than a month ago!

As usual, pot luck style. On the list we have:

1. Nasi Beriani and acar timun by Madam
2. Ayam masak merah (chicken in red curry sauce) and dhal by Puspa
3. Chicken curry and dhal by Capt. Gordip
4. Laksa Johor (a coconut-fish base noodle soup) by Huda
5. Nasi Impit (rice cake/rice cube) with kuah kacang (peanut sauce) and Red Velvet cupcakes by Nadia
6. An assortment of cakes brought by Khairy
7. Fruits, tea and air sirap by Ghana

Let's makan!

the food....yummy!!! njammm njammmm

NIGERIA: Lagos: Eid al-Kabir (Part 2)

In the earlier post, I mentioned the Eid gathering of Malaysians in Lagos. Just a small get together, pot luck style. Most of us here in Lagos are just a few kilometres apart but to  meet up regularly is another matter. All caught up with work, children's activities, other function and in the case of Mogan and Karthig....either they were assigned outside Lagos for a period of time or just a simple case of being too busy to meet up. I suspect Mogan bar hopping all over Lagos...Island and Mainland included (yes, there's two parts of Lagos...another post..maybe)

Btw, when Madam expressed her intention to have a makan-makan (eating) session during Eid....I was unsure it would happen at all. I just love to tease her. I excel in doing just that. Without our helper at home (we gave her off day for Eid), she would struggle. But she can cook pretty well since we moved to Lagos. I love her Nasi Minyak or butter rice with some spice added to it. Maybe this time, this time it will be a breeze for her.

Well done, Madam!
