  1. You make me want to immigrate to Malaysia. I don't know most of these dishes, but they look/sound delicious. You guys need any jungle women from Africa who can teach English? :D

  3. Rurousha,
    You'll be tearing your hair off teaching English here.

    Not only we tend to mis-use apostrophes a LOT, we have Manglish too.

    Still want to come? xD

  5. Rurousha, yes, please do - we need your money. :p

    Delicious is the word especially the first dish, the Assam laksa. Assam is the local word for sour or sourish so you can imagine how deliciously appetizing this dish can be.

    Oh, we do need English lessons! And we could teach you how to build treehouses - afterall (some people believe) we still do live in trees!

  7. Lina, char kway teow, yum(!) especially with cockles and Chinese sausages added, non-halal the latter, I'm afraid.

  13. Nath, oh dear, you've got me craving for that Hokkien Mee with zhu you zha now. So sinful but so delicious this Hokkien Mee.

    When you come to KL, you must try this noodle dish in Chinatown, esp the one at the traffic light junction.

    Also, for Asam Laksa and Yong Tau Foo, go to the stalls at the wet market in Chinatown.

    The best and authentic Chinese food can all be found in Chinatown. There is the roast duck, wantan beefball mee, beef noodle and not forgetting the congee. Yum Yum!
