AMBCQ had a nice low key dinner as well as a meeting for AMBCQ members and friends to mark Merdeka. Merdeka commemorates the anniversary of the independence of Malaya on 31 August, 1957 (Malaysia itself, only came into existence in 1963 when four separate countries being Malaya, Singapore, North Borneo and Sarawak amalgamated as equal partners) and is seen as one of the important national days of Malaysia.
The dinner was held at Yahoo Chinese Restaurant - we were introduced to Yahoo and its proprietors Yvonne and Pat last week when the Malaysian Trade Consul Mr Ong was visiting Brisbane. I don't think it is an overstatement to say that everyone was blown away by the food! This place, hidden away on Loganlea Rd in Waterford is a genuine eating treasure. The fish head curry is AMAZING, the butter oat prawns are perfect, the kangkung was just right, and everyone tells me that the pork belly was fantastic. Also the desserts were great - I had coconut custard which was nice, but Kiong had sago pudding that I loved!
It was a nice mix of old members and new members, plus some of our key supporters, like our patron Dr Peter Yeoh OAM and Alice Yeoh, and CH and Lyna Chen. Thank you to all who came along! And thanks to Yahoo (who are also new members of AMBCQ!) for the delicious feast and their hospitality.
