Makan-lah! (let’s eat!) ~ a Malaysian Feast

Our friend Greg Cabeza has enthusiastically accepted my invitation to be our first ever guest chef.  Here’s what Greg has to say about the meal:

“Malaysian food is widely influenced by many cultures including Chinese, Indian, Portuguese, Dutch, Thai and Indonesian.  The resulting cuisine is a unique, exotic fusion called “Nonya” which is Portuguese for grandmother.  Although the typical Malaysian table would include classic dishes from many countries, for this dinner I am specifically focusing on the food unique to Malaysia.  Makan-lah!”
