For your next party, would you consider an Orang Asli theme? There are beautiful possibilities, as Ramli Ibrahim and Sabera Shaik proved at a recent Orang Asli dinner party held at Sutra House in Titiwangsa, Kuala Lumpur.

Guests were welcomed at the gate with a crown (tempok) and sash woven with palm fronds in geometric patterns – some so intricate and pretty they garnered envious glances from other guests.
