Malaysia feeds our heroines well!
Well, where to begin with the culinary delights of Malaysia? First of all, we haven't even gotten around to eating Malaysian food since we keep getting enticed by Indian and Chinese food!
1. Indian Food: Where to even start with our favourite food? Even though we're technically in Malaysia, we're eating like we're in India -- lots of curries and naans (called roti here) for all meals possible. Even breakfast, we've discovered "roti chani", which is a thinner, crispier naan bread baked with bananas, pineapple, honey and chocolate (or various combinations). Muy tasty.
2. Chinese Steamboat: Consists of a hug wok-pot thing of steaming broth and vegetables and a pile of uncooked vegetables, meat and unrecognizable seafood (our best guesses include cuttlefish, jellyfish and fish eyes). Then, you throw all the uncooked things into the broth, wait 3 minutes, and voila! Soup dinner! Souper tasty and highly recommended from those chilly nights in the Cameron Highlands.
3. Malaysian Tom Yam Soup: Strange name since involves no yams but a soupy, spicy tomato mixture with a generous diversity of noodles, fish and seafood. Currently Alyssa's favourite meal.
Anyways, that's it for this edition of the Wandering Gourmet, but stay tuned for next installments as we continue to eat our way through Asia! Mmmm..

Greetings from Homecoming Kingston. Glad to hear that the cuisine is treating both of you well. Obviously, Homecoming's not quite the same without bumping into you two randomly on Aberdeen...which btw, despite all their threats of cracking down, occurred anyways, though there are now reports of an overturned car and bottles being thrown at cops...idiots.
anyways, keep those posts going. Thoroughly enjoying them.
