Talking about Malaysian food and a cousin whom I just met. I learned from Eve that I have an uncle here in Chicago as well! How amazing is that?! How fate works! So I told my dad, and apparently he knows my uncle's elder brother and parents as well.
Superstar, Better Half and I embarked our journey to "Meet My Uncle for the First Time". We went to his restaurant- Asian Noodle House for lunch. Half way through, he came and we chatted and laughed all way through.
