The man and I finally found the mood, time and courage to do homemade popiah dinner for the friends.My impression of popiah from early memory and friends' remarks is the nightmarish amount of work involved.
Well, my recollection was not altogether off the mark. There is no getting around the labour intensive slicing and cutting of vegetables that make up the popiah filling. It took me more than 3 hours to get through 3 kgs of vegetables. And I am NOT slow.
But it was not nightmarish, and it was certainly worthwhile effort.
We had a wonderful time with the food. And an even more enjoyable time with the company. There was the update of a wedding. And all those travel tales to share.
The thoughtful friends took care of dessert.
This velvety rich chocolate truffle cake is my all-time favourite sinful finish to any meal.
I *heart* these people.
