Teddy bear…

My good friend, Mandy, bought this teddy bear for my daughter…

…and a collection of oldies for me. I guess she feels that I can while the time away listening to the songs in my daughter’s absence. She also gave us a big plastic container of kuih sepit…or what they call kuih kapek or kuih kapit here. They were her mum’s own homemade ones – frankly, I never had anything that would come close. They were paper thin and were so crispy and brittle that if not handled gently, they would just break into pieces. I did not take a photo of them though…and I’ve finished the whole lot already! LOL!!! Thanks, Mandy – you’re really a gem!

Now, moving on…while my daughter was still with us in KL, we did manage to go for some hawker stall food at Jalan Alor…

…but the char kway teow was not really that great…

The or chian (oyster omelette) was very nice though…

…but not the same as what we had in Penang and not like the Kuching ones either.

With Chinese New Year round the corner, Jalan Bukit Bintang was badly jammed…

…and it did not help one bit that some people thought it was a good time to hold some fund-raising show by the roadside…

Everywhere you go around here, you will get to hear Chinese New Year songs and all the malls are nicely decorated for the festive season. The heat in KL is really intense and unbearable though…so don’t be surprised that I would spend the whole day in the comfort of my hotel room.

And talking about the hotel, so far I have had the American breakfast double twice…

…and the nasi lemak…

…which is nice and anytime better than the fried noodles or mihun…

My missus and I will be here till the evening of the 14th so I guess we will be having more of these unless we choose to venture out into the scorching heat and have something more palatable outside…
