Hi everyone,

Recently, I spoken to a friend who was telling me she was changing all her tubleware sets for new ones all for free from one agent.  She said that her mother-in-law was considered a very modern nonya.  Her mother-in-law threw away many colonial design plates as they were considered heavy and old.  Her mother-in-law started her crazy of buying many tupperwares during the early 1980s.  It was like a "fashion-craze".  According to my friend, the tupperwares were not cheap, can cost few hundreds, but there is a life-time guarantee to it. 

Her mother-in-law would organise weekly tupperware parties with her "cherki mates".  The wares would be filled with nonya kuehs, nasi ulam, mee siam, kueh pie tee shells and its fillings separately etc... all good nonya goodies in tupperwares.  Cannot finish the food, cover the tublewares and go into the fridge to be eaten another day.

Sounds so fun the way she described her mother-in-law when she used to be alive.

Cheers
