Was quite amused when I read this at a toilet in Sunway Pyramid’s new wing.

Waterless Urinal. Press to wash yourself only.

Press to wash yourself only?!?

Having spent most of my grownup life outside Malaysia, I have very vague memories of visiting many touristy sites around Kuala Lumpur.

It was time to get reacquainted. So I took a day tour around Kuala Lumpur.

Do we even have milk seafood here in Tokyo anymore? Took this while on my last trip to Malaysia. Cup noodles for RM$6.90 a cup is pretty expensive by Malaysian standards. You can get more flavor for your buck at the hawker centers. ^^.

Nasi Kandar and teh (tea) ice. Nasi Kandar is a popular Malaysian dish which originated from Penang, an island state in northern Malaysia.

To buy Nasi Kandar, first you have to choose what rice you want. There’s steamed plain white rice and flavored rice, which is probably nasi biryani. Nasi means rice in Malay by the way. Once you have chosen your rice, side dishes are added to the plate; usually cucumber and pineapple is invovled. You can see it on the plate across the table in the photo. The next step is to choose the curries. There’s a variety to choose from, fish, squid, seafood, chicken, lamb, vegetable… The very last thing you should add to your plate is a sambal (chilli) egg. Some crackers are also thrown in too. The meal you see in the photo costs about ¥300. Pretty cheap if you deduct airfare. ^^.

You know how it got its name?

A quick look at what I’ve been having before bedtime for the past three nights. Lots of good and cheap food in Malaysia. And I love going out for supper. ^^. Always have a tendency to overeat when I’m back visiting.

Prawn mee with a huge jug of watermelon juice.
