I prefer staying in hotels. Every time I travel, I will gracefully decline any invitation to stay at someone’s house, never mind whether it’s a relative or friend. Maybe it is because I used to travel a lot when I was still in government service and I stayed in hotels all the time…and I enjoyed the freedom and the privacy. Now don’t waste your time and energy asking for I will not divulge any further details beyond this. LOL!!!
I do not usually call room service but I may do so once in a while when I feel too lazy to go out in search of some chow or do not fancy the trouble of dressing up nicely and going down to the cafe downstairs. But sometimes when there are coffee-making facilities in the room, I would make myself a cuppa…
…and enjoy that with a cookie or two…
My daughter loves these Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies that we bought the other day at the Kuching International Airport…
She can recall those days when I used to travel a lot and each time I came home, I would buy a bag for her, together with the chocolates and toffees sold at the airport outlets.
Moving away from the topic of discussion, somebody was asking me the other day whether I bought any of the kek lapis Sarawak (Sarawak layered cakes) when I was in Kuching. Well, I bought two kek hati parek which I had had before and thought was very nice. I wouldn’t know whether these that I bought are nice or not as I have not tried them yet. Saving them for Chinese New Year!
I also bought this kek sisik ikan (fish scales cake) which I have not tried either…
That was all I bought – only three…unlike this guest at the same hotel from Cheras in Selangor…
He/She had two huge boxes of kek lapis Sarawak…and another box of God-knows-what – probably ikan terubok masin or the salted roe of the fish. They’re very popular among West Malaysian visitors to Kuching. I love them too…but unfortunately, I have to control myself and refrain from buying and eating too often.
It’s Friday and the weekend’s here…and to get all of you in the mood, here’s the video clip of the song from which the post title is taken, to set your feet a-tapping…
Enjoy your weekend, everybody!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
