The menu includes pineapple fried rice, black hokkien mee (Hey, it's the noodles month. Gotta include noodles, right?), drunken clams, beef rendang, and loh hon guo sweet tea (to wash down the oily food, but we also have wine and beers for that - thanks: Erin, Jane, Raul, and Diana). I figured something tame, with a hint of flair (rendang) is a good start to convert newbies ;)
The reception was good. Although I was a bad host; turned out, Juan is allergic to crustaceans and couldn't eat most of the food (I'm so sorry!). And I should've known better not to put the clams into microwave... oh well. I think the most likable dishes were the beef rendang and black hokkien mee.
At the end of the day, all plates are cleared. Good sign!
waiting for the fashionably late Puerto Ricans!

Once it has come to a boil, add rock sugar and let it simmer for an hour.

(If you want it chilled, do not add ice cubes. Just cool it in the fridge.)

Loh hon guo!! I want to try to make that (where can I get all the ingredients?). Thanks again, Lily, for the yummy feast! Now how do I get promoted from a "newbie" status ;)
Hey Jane, I got all the ingredients from the Asian groceries stores on Nicollet (Eat Street)... but they might require some digging. Let me know if you need help finding anything. I'm glad to have you over! I will have to come up with a list for different Malaysian food braveness levels :)
