		<description><![CDATA[I was first introduced to Happy Family during my college days. I was in graduate school, back in the Midwest, and not quite cooking up a storm like I am doing now. So, hitting local Chinese buffets and take-outs was a good place to be for someone like me who misses their Chinese food. It was also then that I got acquainted to all the popular American-Chinese food selections. I was mostly intrigued by the American version of Sweet and Sour Chicken, BBQ Ribs, Crab Rangoon, Egg Drop Soup, to name a few, and among these, Happy Family was one of them. Although spending a whopping US$13 (I was a poor international student then) for a large order of Happy Family with white rice on the side seemed hefty for a college student, my friends and I would usually save up to order a few items and share among ourselves, sometimes enough to last us for 3 days! Being so far from home, Chinese food—albeit the Americanized version—was always our comfort food. I missed home dearly, particularly mom&#8217;s cooking. At the end of the day, mom always made sure we had a balanced meal. A typical family dine-in experience is usually served with dishes consisting of meat, vegetables and seafood of some sort. And that is exactly what the dish Happy Family is! It is a popular Chinese stir-fry dish with colorful vegetables (broccoli, water chestnuts, baby corn, bamboo shoots, mushroom, carrots, etc.), meats (beef, pork/BBQ Pork and chicken) and seafood (shrimp, lobster/crab meat and scallops) cooked in a simple brown sauce. I don&#8217;t think I have ever encountered any dish quite like Happy Family. It&#8217;s a great one-pot meal filled with goodness and taste! In my book, Happy Family is one of those delicious guilt-free happy meals that symbolizes...<br /><br /><div><img src="http://rasamalaysia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/happy-family-hp.jpg"/></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Food is a celebration. Most of my fondest memories are centered around food. Certain food brings back nostalgic memories of the bygone times and the tastes linger in one&#8217;s mind and transcend time, for example: bak kua (肉干) or Malaysian version of jerky&#8211;little squares of dry-treated meat charcoal-grilled to perfection, with flavors so sublime words can&#8217;t even begin to describe. As the youngest child in a big family, my late parents loved to take me to kung fu movies when I was little. Back then, I didn&#8217;t really understand movies and was always puzzled why the bad guy who died in last week&#8217;s movie was now alive and kicking. I didn&#8217;t know that movies were fictitious and unreal; I was intrigued nonetheless&#8230; We went to movies a lot, almost every weekend. My parents loved going to the old Capitol and Federal Cinemas in Penang.  I was always brimming with excitement when weekends come, not so much for the kung fu movies, but the thought of having &#8220;cinema food&#8221;&#8211;aromatic and droolsome charcoal-grilled bak kua sandwiched in between a bun from the hawker stall in front of the cinema. If you grew up in Malaysia, I am sure you remember those little hawker carts that sell bak kua, bak hu (pork floss), pink-colored chicken wings, and buns. While cinema foods mean popcorns and sodas in the United States, bak kua and bun were our version of cinema food. It was a favorite childhood food of mine. As I reminisce my childhood days, tears well up in my eyes.  Sometimes, it&#8217;s very easy to lose sight of things that happened in the past, but I always believe that one should never forget your root&#8211;the places, smells, tastes, sounds, and sights of your hometown. Those are the things that shape up who you are today. Since I moved to the United States&#8211;I&#8217;d attempted to bring back bak kua from Penang only to have...]]></description>
