This family was prepared for their move from Kuala Lumpur to Paris, but adapting to a new environment still took time.
COMING to live in France was something I was always prepared for. Being married to a Frenchman, one has to be ready for that sort of thing. After all, my husband had spent 10 years in Malaysia and is very accustomed to eating roti canai and dhal for breakfast. Now it’s my turn, and I don’t see any problem in eating buttery croissants for breakfast. The problem will be fitting into my jeans. I confess though, I am a Penang girl at heart and a good kuey teow th’ng is what I miss most some mornings.
