I first tasted May's cooking at her Malaysian Supper club hosted by Luiz @thelondonfoodie in his beautiful Islington home. I was really blown away with the effort, presentation, taste and generosity of the evening. My friend and I left groaning with our bellies full of the most delicious home style cooked Malaysian feast. A few months later, May emailed me saying that she was cooking again, but this time closer to home in Clapham, so off I went and it tasted every bit as good as I had remembered. We got chatting after supper and decided that Putney needed a dose of May's Beef Rendang!
What with hosting my first Supperclub over two nights, there wasn't a lot of time for pictures as May and I had to move furniture, shop and cook but here are some Iphone pics to tempt you into booking our next one. I missed a pic of one dish (the clams)
Setting up the first table, oooh the excitement![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFSc6Ifxbz3_0eribirkqz22t-ckKEl_oufTL1UAPfxlodvr8aDP-bDsPSkv6-_8gQknzAJFG5y7sC-Cc2FnAa_21s1yIOGtYZoPabW7sDPvPFAuY7caulchKzk_tVszx0ROiv3hjGNtg/s640/IMG_7445.JPG)

You know I've never been to a supper club... apart from on my hen do but our group was the whole party so I guess it doesn't really count. This looks fAB - what an amazing thing to do :-)
That was a really fun supperclub to do and we had such a fun bunch of guests. Am planning the menu for the next ones in the Autumn.
Anon- I am trying harder :)
Good times Tora - Spanish night is a great idea, I'm game!
Skin and Blister- hello! We're doing them again on the last two weeks of August, come!
Thelittleloaf- I just love them and have met some wicked people attending them. It's a great way to sample authentic cuisines from home cooks
