In her beautiful home in Ara Damansara, 55-year-old Ruzilla Helmi is busy ladling ayam masak merah from a large pot on the stove into a serving bowl. Standing dutifully by her side is her eldest son, Aqeef Azzudin, who is scooping heaping spoonfuls of nasi minyak onto a large platter.
In the living room, Ruzilla’s childhood friends Gladys Teo-Simpson and Denise Solosa and Denise's daughter Danielle Solosa wait with bated breath.
