Random food from my Langkawi holiday in August 2009…
Nasi Pattaya (Pattaya rice) @ Oriental Village
Fried rice wrapped in an omelette, a common dish in Malaysia; in fact pretty common in East Asia with slight variances. The Malaysian version, I assumed, was originated from Thailand with its namesake popular beach-resort-city.
Underwater World in Langkawi, Malaysia, is one of the largest marine and fresh water aquaria in South East Asia. Photos from my August 2009 trip…
Leafy seadragon
Dinner at Orkid Ria Seafood Restaurant during my Langkawi trip in August 2009. A visit to Langkawi Island wouldn’t be complete without a seafood meal, and we decided to splurge a bit with…
Lobster muahaha!!!
Lobster stir-fried with chilli paste; probably not a wise option, as the strong seasoning was too dominant that it’s hard to taste the original lobster flavour. Nice texture though; freshness at its best…
Mount Mat Cincang is one of the major tourist attractions in Langkawi, Malaysia, famous for its panoramic view of rainforest on the island and the Andaman Sea, with neighbouring Thailand within sight as well.
Photos from my Langkawi trip in August 2009. Couldn’t see much of the sea view unfortunately; the visibility was pretty low during my visit due to hazy weather.
Japanese race queens at Super GT Malaysia in June 2009…
Yuriya Hasegawa (Team Yoshiki Rockstar Girls)
Dined at Chao Yen restaurant at Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall in July 2009, which branded itself for authentic Teochew cuisine.
Teochew food focuses on braised, steamed and salt-preserved cooking methods; and probably most famous for its congee with variety of side dishes.
Braised intestines, duck meat, squid and tofu
Combo of some iconic braised dishes…
Strelitzia, commonly known as the bird-of-paradise flower due to its resemblance; also known as the crane flower in South Africa, its country of origin. Photos taken at the Butterfly Farm in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia, during my July trip…
Being a tropical country, it’s not easy to grow strawberries in Malaysia. Cameron Highlands is probably the only place which mass produced the juicy fruit in the country thanks to its higher altitude and cooler temperature.
