Get your ingredients ready. See Jungle Bird and Mango Iced Tea ingredients for drink-making segment below.

Experience a taste of Malaysia from your own home and join us on 8th December from 8 – 9 pm for the celebration of Lake Malibu and other stories by Amy (Su-May) Tan.

There will be discussions, readings, trivia and (of course) a Malibu rum cocktail-making class. This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the collection – described by author Laurie Steed as a ‘haunting meditation on the people and places we call home’ – and its talented author, Amy Tan.

As a first-generation migrant to Australia, Amy’s interconnected stories are inspired by the houses, people and flavours of her home – Malaysia. Common themes of escapism, migration and a ‘search for greener pastures’ tie the collection together.

Joining us from Kuala Lumpur as our MC will be Natasha Musa. Natasha is a literary enthusiast, personal blogger, and full-time marketer.

You can order a pre-release copy of Lake Malibu and other stories here.
