In the end, we had to leave Kuala Lumpur because we were being fed too well. Our hosts loved to show us all the different types of food available, so we often found ourselves eating and eating and eating. The food was great, and we were delighted to experience it all, but now we need to get back on the bikes and work off all the extra calories!
Here are some pictures with names and brief descriptions for some of the yummy treats:
Popiah filling and Lettuce wrap
Ulam (Malaysian salad) with rice
Lui Cha (Hakka dish, “thunder tea” – vegetarian dish, vegetable broth poured over rice, nuts, vegetables and seaweed)
Noodle soup with shredded chicken
Beef (Goat?) Rendang, Nasi Lemak and Mango Salad
Roast duck
Hokkien Mee (Hokkien style noodles)
Cantonese fried noodle
Choy (green vegetable) with oyster sauce, deep-fried shallots
Prawns
Steamed fish – eyeballs included!

That fish eye tasted just a bad as I thought it would
ha ha ha! 🙂 Of course it tastes bad Scott!
Oh rendang! Yum! I don’t know if they make it or if it would even be called the same thing, but try rujak salad if you can. Sooo good!
Have you been taking advantage of the fresh fruit much?
And I’ll be avoiding fish eyes, I think, based on Scott’s expression…
