Have you ever seen a "Public Handphone Charging Booth"?

This is totally new to me...
I remember having wished that there are such handphone charging booths, but I didn't see any when I really needed one

So, nowadays I make sure that my handphone batter have enough juice whenever I leave the house.

Saw this handphone charging booth in Parkson @ The Mall, Kuala Lumpur
(opposite Putra World Trade Centre- PWTC)

RM1.50 per use :)

pretty reasonable

Well, we do need more public handphone charging booths! :)

Asian "caviar"? ;)

Every time I'm back in my hometown Kuala Lumpur, I'd hunt for Nasi Lemak
On this trip, I have found the perfect Nasi Lemak! :)
- and it's all because the chef made one lil' interesting twist to the traditional Malaysian dish.
It's served with "asian caviar"

Notice the small (but very pregnant) anchovy-like fish? :))
60% of its size is its own eggs :)
very fattening - but very very yum :)
it tastes somewhat like fried cheese + egg yolk

The "Asian Caviar Nasi Lemak" is served at U-Cafe @ Sungei Wang Plaza, Kuala Lumpur
Lot No. C025 (Fiesta Street)

What I like about it:)
- moist & piping-hot steamed coconut rice
- generous servings of sambal (sweet & spicy chilli paste)
- aromatic chicken "rendang"
(rendang's quite similar to curry - except that fresh spices & 4 types of ginger (kunyit, lengkuas, etc) are used instead of dried powdered spices)

When I passed by U-Cafe, I thought it offers mediocre stuff like Old Town White Coffee, PappaRich...but I was pleasantly surprised by the food quality :)

If you ever visit Kuala Lumpur, don't leave the city without trying the Asian Caviar Nasi Lemak!!! :)

I used to like Madam Kwan's nasi lemak... but over the years, I found that the quality has deteriorated
- the chicken are overcooked & tasteless
- too much liquid in the curry/rendang (bland)
- the portion has also shrunk

That's Nisha my gym-buddy back in Uni :)
We went to Madam Kwan's when she and her hubby had a honeymoon in Malaysia
Gal, if you're coming back again, we'll go to U-Cafe this time :)))

I grew up with Muslims & Christians...

I don't understand the uproar & the Molotov cocktail bomb attacks in Taiping following the court ruling pertaining to the use of the word "Allah".

I don't know who these terrorists are.
They are totally unlike my Muslim friends.

Religion has never been a big issue throughout my life...
My Muslim, Christian, Hindu and Buddhist friends get along perfectly well with each other
- In Malaysia, this sense of oneness regardless of ethnicity & religion is known as "Muhibbah" (Arabic)

I went to a "Convent" girls school in Brickfields (an Indian town in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), where 80% of the students were Muslims
- we played and eat together
I ate pork, they ate beef
I attended their religious classes out of curiosity
They taught me how to pronounce the word "Allah" correctly
They also taught me simple Arabic

We remain good friends up till today...

At our Malay friend's wedding... :)

We even wore the same navy blue dress back in school :) :)

So, who are those terrorists who bomb innocent people?

What's Taliban? Who are they?

They are definitely not the same kind of Muslims my friends are.
