Found in Kerala, India Part 2

Fried banana (or banana fries as they call it in India)? Fried sweet potato? Fried thi-kuih?
Those are for sissies.

How about fried chillies?


The dried chillies itself is not spicy at all since they were de-seeded before being coated with batter and fried.

Admitedly the accompanying dipping sause packs a punch though. Enjoyed it.

Found in Kerala, India, Part 1

Being a goody two shoes lately??


Then no chicks will dig you since like chicks only digs bad men. Not to worry, in a restaurant in Trivandrum, Kerala, India, found ways for you to raise the evilness in you without breaking any law. It is even cheap some more.


By the way, the restaurant served excellent Briani too.


Not content accumulating human dosa only, they even have chicken and goat dosa for you.
I was wondering how the Dosa will be brought to your after your order. I think should be in a bottle in liquid or gas form for easy consumption and storage. Or they will be serve in spiritualy and you just sit there asorbing the Dosa.
Anyway, when ordered (abeit in another place), the packaging was kinda disappointing, although admitedly yummy.

PS: for those non-Malay speaking, dosa = sins in Malay.

Part Of Historic Moment

Joining a historic moment, so here goes.

"Penang's hill railway makes its last run"

Lower Station

Wonder will this still be here later?

Generation 1

Some people comes out saying how we should preserve the old train system since its here for so many many years already.

Personally I disagree. Whats the use of an old relic which is not funtioning properly? Remember the old tram railing along Penang road, whats that for. I never see and I dont think we will have any tourists coming just to see that old rail.

By Malaysian standard, the hu-ha will be forgotten as soon as the new rail is up.

Kota Kinabalu Jan 2010

Pictures taken from the Pacific Sutera, Sutera Harbour Resort. Thats some of the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park's islands on the background.

Risk a short boat ride to the Pulau Gaya's Bajau Laut settlement. No life jackets. The sampans powered by an engine are only used by locals to commute between the settlement and the mainland.

Being close to the settlement makes me realise that their houses are so basic, maybe a room or two. Houses made of planks, wood, woodboard, zink roof panels.. all simple materials. Seeing this, I kinda thank my life that I am living in a house of bricks and cements.

Amazingly, their simple lifestyle fails to stop the little locals to share their smiles and laughters with me.

The first two teenagers no longer attend schools, prefering to do whatever oddjobs they can find at the local wet market on the mainland, trying their best to earn some extra money to support their families. They are so friendly that I board the boat based on their persuasions.

The two last kids will not smile with their mouth open after I commented their lack of teeth. They are so bashful, but my bad for saying that to them.

Reminded me of a brand of local ice-cream
