kugan: I did not take any pictures. My son took some. I video taped the first three hours. I will transfer it to a DVD and send you. You can watch and have a good laugh at the riot !

Next Father's day is at your place! Our dinner was in a Mexican restaurant !

Thanks Rajraj uncle, for your nice post.
You are welcome next year.

No, I ordered from the neighbourhood caterer. Their food is very tasty.
For tauhu sambal try using cili boh for authentic sambal taste.

Oh I see, anyway thanks NOV anneh.
I usually soak the dried red chillie and grind it into paste.
Then I use it to make the tofu sambal.
Your sambal looks like they used chillie powder.
Thanks again NOV anneh. Kugan

The ones we buy will be strained clear chilli oil.
Lets try out to make our own chilli oil.
Thanks and take care, Kugan

U both created an opinion on me that Malalysia has more variety of food and it also has lot of celebrations like India. It also makes me think I should do a vacation there. Nice menu on fathers day and nice click.

Sangeetha thanks for your nice post.

You are right, we have lot of celebrations in Malaysia.
You can get, Malay, Chinese, Indian and Western dishes here.
You are welcome to Malaysia for a vacation.

Kugan so super spread. Your homemade cake with icing is soooo nice.
We all went out and ate, no cooking Kugan.
It is so nice to serve home cooked food for our loved ones.

Thanks Gulabjamun for your nice post.
I have no basic training in cake icing.
Just tried a kolam design on it.

Hope you would try home cooking for next Father's Day.
Thanks and take care, Kugan
