A Week of Culinary Celebrations

The past week has been a whirlwind of joy, laughter, and above all, scrumptious food. With hubby’s relatives (two families) visiting from the UK and celebratory occasions filling the calendar, our home has transformed into a hub of feasting.

Our week of culinary delight commenced with a visit to the renowned Makoto restaurant again. Nestled in Sri Hartamas, Makoto’s unagi (grilled eel) has become somewhat of a tradition for our family gatherings. Makoto is my UK SIL’s favorite unagi restaurant in KL. When she came back to KL in May this year and December last year, she treated us to a sumptuous unagi dinner at Makoto. With this visit, she again treated us to a delectable unagi lunch at Makoto. As we savored every bite of the tender, flavorful fresh eel, the cozy ambiance and lively conversations only added to the experience.

Saturday arrived with excitement as we gathered at hubby’s UK uncle’s brand-new luxury condo in Mont Kiara for a BBQ party. Hubby, a skilled caterer, took charge of the grill, turning an array of meats into mouthwatering masterpieces. The luxury condo’s setting provided a splendid backdrop, making this BBQ party a memory to treasure.

Sunday marked a special day as we all came together at the Oversea Restaurant to celebrate the 100th day of hubby’s aunt’s first granddaughter. This momentous occasion was about more than just food – it was a testament to family bonds and unity. As we enjoyed the delectable dishes, the shared stories, a session of karaoke, and lots of laughter reminded us of the importance of coming together to celebrate life’s milestones.

Alycia, Sherilyn and Cass went for another session of bouldering with their cousin from the UK and second cousins (hubby’s cousins) on Sunday. It’s the girls’ second time bouldering with hubby’s cousins. Bouldering is a form of free climbing that is performed on small rock formations or artificial rock walls without the use of ropes or harnesses. Unfortunately this time, Sherilyn slipped from the wall and landed on her ankle. She ended up with a badly swollen and painful foot. The next day she went to our regular acupuncturist for a session of acupuncture and bloodletting. Thankfully this treatment managed to relieve the pain and pressure on her ankle.

My SIL, her son, MIL, and Alycia are currently on vacation in Penang and then to Ipoh. When they return on Friday, there’s bound to be a new round or two of dinners at restaurants. These upcoming dining experiences will undoubtedly add another layer of richness to our week-long eating marathon.
