More random photos of food

What I like most about autumn is that it's quince season, and what I like most about quince season is that you can have a bowl of quinces prettying up the house.

Meanwhile, it's been a while since I updated this blog, but we've eaten a lot of food during that time, believe it or not. When we got back from Malaysia, we salved our grief at no more roti canai by frying up some zucchini flowers, making some potato and mint ravioli and a big bowl of lentil soup. The lentil soup was a startling green and absolutely delicious, but the photo looked godawful, so it's not pictured here.

Fresh pistachio season also came and went! I bled from under the fingernails to enjoy it, but it was so lovely. We made some into ice cream (mm!) but the rest was just scoffed.

And I think this was how we dealt with a surfeit of watermelon:

And boy, I love roasting chicken.

Malaysia - part 3 (the rest)

It wasn't all about the roti canai, really. It just seemed like it.

This was a particularly good one in KL with Mei Ling.

And this is the roti man at the market. I like his hat!

We were only in Taiping about four days, but Jason became a regular at one particular roti shop - this would be why:

Meanwhile, apart from the roti, we were in Malaysia for the wedding of my lovely cousin Tyng Yee. Here is groom David, as tradition dictates, begging to be let into the bridal room. The bride has the right to demand whatever she likes in exchange for entry, which meant David had to sing a song, do some pushups (he contracted these out to various male relatives) and eventually gather the boys around him to try and force his way in, in the process finding out that the various small female attendants inside were a lot stronger than they looked.
