Deepavali food!

Sorry for the poor quality of these pictures - I was busy hostessing and setting out food and cooking food and mixing drinks and so on, and didn't really have time to focus and angle my photos, so they're all very quick snaps. 😅 But I was quite proud of my spread!

All the treats in the first picture are homemade. In the centre is murukku, a sort of Indian fritter (rice flour and two types of lentil flour, butter, cumin, sesame seeds, omam/ajwain/bishop's weed, and asafoetida turned into a dough, extruded and fried) that is a Deepavali staple. 😋 The long orangey-red strips are tape murukku, which is the same mixture but with chilli powder added to make it mildly spicy. And then there are suji biscuits, made with semolina, sugar and ghee. Almond London biscuits, coated with dark chocolate and topped with almond nibs. And cornflake biscuits.

At the top of the tiered cake stand are pineapple tarts (bought at an Asian store - a festive staple of Singapore and Malaysia) and coconut candy (made by me) and then the yellow flaky cubes are storebought soan pappadi, and then more of the treats from the first picture.

Mains were lamb briyani, a vegetable dish called mulai keerai poriyal (mulai keerai, or amaranth, is stir-fried with spices, shallots and garlic, and then has grated coconut mixed in at the end), tofu sambal, chickpea curry (pardon the ugly photo!), and of course plenty of raita and fried appalams. I've also got a picture of my plate - I couldn't have the briyani (I'm vegetarian), but I'd made potato pilaf for myself.

Dessert was semia payasam (roasted rice vermicelli is cooked in milk along with sago and lots of sugar until soft and tender, and then cashews and raisins are roasted in ghee and added to it).

Still gorging myself on leftovers. 😋

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The storm was still raging outside, just as much as it had been the day before. And the day before that.

The power was still on, but there was no wifi connection.  Not that Jaime needed the internet to keep him occupied, not with his very willing bedmate snuggled up with him.

He ran his tongue over her clit and Sansa shook beneath him. “Jaime… I’m not certain I can again…”

“Of course you can,” he murmured, blowing softly over her sex and feeling her toes curl as a result. “You’ve got one or two left in you, don’t you?”

“I’ve lost count,” she moaned, her head lolling from side to side as he very slowly began to lave her clit with his tongue.  She mewled like a kitten, her hips bucking up to meet his mouth and making him believe that she definitely had at least two more orgasms in her.

He’d very much been keeping count and knew that number was up to four. So six before the afternoon was over and she would likely be too sensitive for him to continue.

“Come on love, climb up on top of me. You control it. Come when you like.”

They shifted on the bed until Sansa was straddling his face. Her thighs trembled as she lowered herself down, practically crying out the second he began to lick her.  She rocked her hips over his face, riding his tongue and giving him more pleasure than she likely realized as she took her own.

When she shook apart, she practically sobbed, one hand tangling in his hair as she continued to move well past the time where her muscles fluttered.

“Gods,” she groaned. “One more, I think.”

Jaime growled against her and she looked down at him, red hair in a wild halo around her head and shoulders, blue eyes striking the match that fueled his lust as he sucked her poor clit between his lips until she couldn’t take it anymore and fell in a trembling heap beside him.

“Six,” he said smugly, tucking both hands behind his head.

“Was it really?” she asked, reaching up to attempt to tame her tresses.

“It was really. Six.”

“Good gods, Jaime.”

He shot her a cheeky grin and snuggled down in the bed. “I know.”

Christina Ee Pineapple Tarts

Pineapple tarts have got to be one of Malaysia's favourite snacks - there's just something about that sweet, jammy goodness combined with a crumbly buttery crust. Pop open a box and it’s likely to be empty before you even realise it. There are a few types of pineapple tarts: the open-faced tart usually topped with a lattice, and the rolled pastry enclosing the jam.

There is no shortage of pineapple tarts in Melaka.  Here, we bring you the best pineapple tarts we ever had. 

Chritina Ee pineapple tart is one of the many shops that bake their tarts so fresh, you can feel the heat from their ovens. When you buy a jar, the tarts are still warm. It's tempting to immediately open one and wolf down all of its contents. 

Pastry: While the sample was delicious, some of the tarts we bought tasted slightly burnt and the pastry was crumbly to the point of being rather powdery. However, they had the luscious aroma of butter which helped us forget most of its shortcomings. 

Jam: The filling was delicious. It was soft and flavourful without being mushy. 

Verdict: Because the pastry was a tad too crumbly, taking a bite into the tart will result in a sticky, powdery mouth-feel, but as soon as you get to the filling inside, the flavours and textures balance out perfectly.   

One jar of pineapple tart costs RM 20.90.
