We're very fortunate to have extremely nice landlords. We've not seen much of them since we got back from Europe, but we caught up with them today, which also happens to be Malaysia Day.
You can guarantee that any trip in their company will turn into a major culinary event, and this was no exception:
First up, breakfast, from a Chinese Muslim place that they were interested in trying out
The "special". Very tasty
Next up, Stutong Market, which is bright and airy, and very photogenic
Preparing coconut heart
It's called mua chee here, but we first met this in southern Thailand, way back in 2013
So much produce...
Paku, one of the ferns we eat here
Midin, another type of fern
Bunga kantan, or torch ginger flower
So many cakes...
And I always like the random nature of markets here
And it's time for refreshment! We shared a barley fu zhu, which is quintessential comfort food. But I'd happily try any of these...
We headed home, well rounded...
