Away from home, with no festive holiday....

the medford fire brigade and police department are really efficient here. Twice, the alarm went off within a month in my apartment, twice they all came within less than 10 minutes. Nah, make that 5 minutes. The first time, the oven in the restaurant downstairs was too hot that it triggered the alarm. The second time, apparently somebody got stuck in the lift (a.k.a elevator). If only bomba and the rest were that efficient in KK, who knows? I probably wouldn't have clautrophobia? I'm scarred for life now!
:D

Back to the main topic... Malaysians should feel happy that we celebrate all the main festivals in the world that i can think of. They don't do that here. Hence, we have no holidays for Eidil Fitri and Deepavali@Diwali here. I miss homeee........ and my family, aunties, uncles, cuzzies... ect.!

Hence, I'm trying to organize a DeepaRaya... half pot luck and half whatever, open house to the whole 100++ classmates?
Calling all relatives, calling all relatives. Can somebody please pass me these recipes? Don't care if you people think wether I know how to cook or not. Don't care if you people think wether I can get the ingredients here. I'll figure that out myself. I'm not totally hopeless, you know. :P

I want:
1. Rendang
2. Satay
3. Klupis
4. Nasi Bukhari
5. Sticky Date Pudding
6. Ayam masak kuah satay (??? at least I think that's what you call it)

p/s: apart from my malaysian and singaporean friends, the rest of my international friends wouldn't know what's the difference anyway.
;P

Can anybody please, help?

at least rendang is easier compare to serunding. hated looking after the serunding.

I have sent Maggie Rendang Mix - just follow instruction.
Nasi Bohari - Think its too much a bother, make nasi minyak instead. Forget about sticky date pudding - go for agar agar gula melaka (change gula melaka with brown sugar, if you don't have santan use milk instead) For kuah satay you can use chunky peanut butter instead of roasted peanuts. Will email you some recipies.
