Great story man. I grew up Catholic but have not been to a service in 20 years or so. I went once when I was visiting my grandfather, who was seriously Catholic until the day he died.

That food looks great and I always talk about how fantastic food is in Malaysia when I tell other people about your country. I call that sort of presentation "prison tray food" and I think it is fantastic. The Indian food in particular is really good in Malaysia. Much better than here, that's for sure. Many people say it is better in Malaysia than it is in India!
