Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Back to KL for two nights.
We spent our final day in Kuala Lumpur dealing with fun logistics such as picking up our Indian visa. We had another fun night with our friends Pek, Richard, and Sharron. Gerald and Raulyn’s has become a familiar, albeit out of the way, place to visit with friends over a wide selection of wines.
After drinks, Pek and the gang introduced us to yet another local specialty: chicken rice at an outdoor food stall.
Chicken rice is as basic as it sounds: chicken and rice. With the outdoor vendors, they bring in the chicken in the morning, and fry it up all day until it’s all gone. The most memorable aspect of this dinner, oddly enough, was learning that people can and do eat the giblets, and that gizzards actually taste really good. They have an almost crunchy texture. Time to stop feeding them to the cat!
For desert, we walked a few meters to a nearby food stall, where Sharron had us all try a yummy desert called Appam: a crepe like pancake made with rice flower and coconut milk, topped with palm sugar. These street stalls are awesome! Incredibly good, fresh food, and unbelievably low prices. We’re very grateful for having met Pek Chin, and for her dragging us to these places 🙂
After dinner, Sharron and Richard were nice enough to give us a scenic ride home, through their surrounding neighborhood of beautiful apartments and houses (most of which have their own guard house and servent’s quarters), with breathtaking views down over central KL.
Thanks Pek, Richard, and Sharron, for everything!
