Moving on...
This past weekend I had some new foods that I'm a big fan of:
Steamboat! There's the stove, then the soup base (Chicken and Szechuan), and then the all-you-can-eat goodies you boil in your pot. I haven't encountered food too spicy for me to stop eating... until I had some of the Szechuan soup. Just one taste made your lips burn... instant botox. But the MSG must keep you coming back for more. After a few chili and red peppercorn-infused bites, I had to give up. Maybe it was the spice, the MSG, or the dehydration from sitting next to boiling pots of soup... but we were all a bit loopy after this meal.
This bamboo clam went into our steamboat. I've never seen a clam shaped like this. |
We went to Malaysia to play some paintball. After working up an appetite, we tried one of Malaysia's staples known as the Ramly burger. It's a beef or chicken patty wrapped in egg on a buttered toasted bun with cabbage, onions, sweet chili sauce, and mayo. A delicious heart-attack in the making. 8 burgers cost us 26 Malaysian ringgit... that's equivalent to $8 US Dollars. We gave the burger stall chef 30 ringgit and had her keep the change. The smile on her face from the tip lasted until we walked away- for some duty-free beers.

Water chestnut drink is delicious. I ordered it last night for takeaway. The cashier asked me "cup or plastic?" - not really knowing the difference, I said plastic. My beverage came in this nice little baggie. I was thoroughly amused.
