Thats the problem with you women! Everything can be considered
chauvanistic.  Try ' Penile challanged person' 8-).

whats penganan? is it something like dodol.  Dodol, aah memories of
my neighbour, with the 5 ft diameter 'Kuali', tons of firewood and
that giant 'sendok' stirring up this fantiastic smelling dodol.

Not a very big fan of cencalok.  Have you ever opened a bottle
of fresh cencalok? smell like 'kentut'!!!!.

Personally, I prefer the Melaka I grew up in.  I didn't really
appriciate it then, but now I do.  Oh for a decent 'satay celup!'

Nasi Impit is easy, but I like the rich taste of lemang, hmm,
pulut kuning is an idea though.  One thing about Perth is that
ingredients for all these things are available.
Even pandan leaves.
