Multicultural Awareness Night
Every year my daughter's highschool has a Multicultural Awareness night. This is the 4 th year we've had a Malaysian booth. When my oldest daughter went there we had a Vietnamese booth one year. We had a great location this year beside an ice cream booth so we sold out fast! Our curry puffs were gone in 20 minutes! I had to grab my son to take a picture before they were all gone! We also sold jemput-jemput (banana puffs) and pandan cake. The cake was the last thing to go as people were scared of the green colour. The green colour comes from the pandan leaf. Suprisingly there was another malaysian booth for the first time ever. They were from Perak and they were selling nasi lemak. We also had some travel brochures and cookbooks out on display. I wish more people had looked at them though because people hardly know a thing about Malaysia. Everyone knows Thailand and Singapore but what lies between is a mystery to most. To add to the atmosphere we all wore malay outfits; baju kurung for the the girls and me and baju melayu for the boys.
