A luxury day

After b'fast at the hotel, we felt sleepy again. Must be the winding down from all the stress and running around in Shanghai. Iron-wife slept; and I had the luxury of reading newspapers without interruption. Real paper in my hands! Quiet, warm, no noise.... WSJ, Tribune then the local Straits Time. The last one was more a dud. Too much adverts. Not much content. 2 hours or total luxury, just read.

Time to take a walk about. We didn't walk far as the KLCC park is just 30 paces outside our hotel. Then the mall. We were trapped.... park, mall, big gigantic bookstore (yes, I bought myself computer magazines and a book). We had a very late lunch, at 3pm. Nice lunch. Not even USD20.00; I had the Nasi Lemark and fresh coconut jelly; and iron wife had Gado Gado. Portion was huge. Maybe that is the reason of the "people" size we encountered. We are still stuff right now.

Nasi Lemark is a national dish. Shrimp chips, peanuts, coconut rice, cucumber slices and choice of chicken or beef (curry style of course). I'll definitely going back tomorrow for it. If I have the same dish tomorrow between 10am and 12pm, the price is MYD12.00 ++ including the Tarik. It's a tea drink - dark tea with sugar. Let see, MYD12.00 is about USD3.50. That beats 4seas!!!! Or anywhere else. Will take picture of the dish tomorrow.

Gado Gado is the Indonesian salad with boiled cabbage, long green beans, eggs, tempeh, and peanut sauce.
