She works right near the Petronas Towers. Since my classes are in full-swing, I spent most of the morning doing some grading at a Starbucks. Then Aida got us for lunch where we had kebobs in the mall. We hung out around there and later met up with Aida’s husband Ikhwan, otherwise known as Q, or IQ. Together they call themselves “Q and A”. I think they may have been doing engineering for too long.
Here are the famous Petronas Towers (seen in the movie Entrapment with Sean Connery and Catherine Z-J).
More on these in a later post.
They took us to a locally famed Hawker Center stall where we tried several local dishes including: Sotong Kang Kung, which is squid and veggie on fried rice. Jen had rice for the rest, but the other three of us had Lala Chili, which are mini clams in an orange sauce. Finally we had Katam Curry which was curried crab.
This was very messy as we picked apart the crabs to find the meat. It was all very good though. Also our stall head “chef” made quite a performance cooking it all up. He was very frantic throwing ingredients here and there and sometimes he’d throw a big pot of water or oil or something onto his huge wok and the flames would rise 20 feet up in the air.
There are more food pics on the second page of the KL gallery here. Will get around to explaining more of these pictures soon.
After dinner we went to Bossa Nova in town for a bit of salsa with a live band. They also have Kilkenny beer here too –whoo hoo! Fun night overall!
