Jan in Malaysia

tumbling man as seen in Jalan Alor behind Bukit Bintang singing a chinese song

we were sitting in jalan alor eating something and suddenly something (later it proved to be a human being) crawling on the pavement, pushing forward it's small charriot with a headset and speakerphone singing a chinese song "in the whole world mother is the best". An image speaks thousand words. t's surely captured the attention and it's basically the most pittyful display of how deep society can let it's fellow man crawl on the street.

I wondered why in China I did not see any stray dogs like in Malaysia. Here is the answer.

An older chinese wise man told me once that "everything that has legs and faces with it's back to the sky, will be eaten". He said he saw oils also in China. No pictures though. But on the matter of the dogs, here is why you see no stray dogs on the streets in China (at least not where I went). source image.

Great to eat something light.

Food we eat in Chinatown. Maleisische oliebol

Huge Nasi Lemak as eaten in Bandar Sri Damansara in Kuala Lumpur

Certainly a huge Nasi Lemak. There is even a POI data-list for GPS device with the Best Nasi Lemak places in Malaysia. Lately  we use my GPS to find the best food places in Kuala Lumpur. Cool tool.

Some Malaysian fruits as spotted in Chinatown Petaling Street Kuala Lumpur

Durian, Rambutan, Mangosteen and then one type of fruit I don't know yet. When you visit Malaysia, don't fail to taste these fruits. Very sweet !

I also noticed cherries, but those are not from Malaysia of course.... A bit more pricy too!

Smallest portion of French fries I have ever seen here in Kuala Lumpur…

I was ordering French fries (actually invented by Belgians if you look up the history) in Kuala Lumpur here somewhere inside Mutiera shopping center… I won't mention the name of the store, but I was somewhere downstairs.

I ordered this (see how many fries on the picture) :

This is what I got on my plate.

 

Note the single of tomatoes and cucumber…

Then I started to count the number of French fries : 9 in total.

A bit disappointed I order a "top up" (which had to be paid by the way)…

This is what I got :

I think after seeing the top up. I even got more hungry.
