My large extended family have always met regularly to eat together. If we’re eating out, it’s always in the same place: a busy, noisy Chinese restaurant in Petaling Jaya, teeming with large families and groups and Burmese waiters whirling around with sizzling platters. The din of 100+ diners packed into that enclosed, airconditioned space was always raucous but the first-class food superseded everything.

Until now.
