    Sarawak Mee

    Now this is currently my favourite Hakwer dish - hand-made Sarawak mee in chicken stock with tofu skin, onions/garlic and some roast pork. It's not oily and not salty and just tastes great! In the back you can see some grilled chicken and fruits that we shared over lunch.
     

    Chinese Medicine

    The other day, I had a sore throught, so my friends suggested I drink some herbal chinese medcine drink. Well, why not? A good reason may have been 'cos it tastes so bad that you'd rather have a sore throught'. But I did it, and of course didnt enjoy it (see pic), but the sore throught was gone next day. :-)

    Hakka Mee

    I often go for lunch with local friends and we usually eat at real hawker stalls. And I mean those that are deep down in the suburbs of KL, where I am the only white person. It's cheap (around RM 4-5, EUR 1) and tasty and the choices are endless. These noodles are one of my favourites, although I have a new favourite now (but wait for that blog). These noodels are hand-made Hakka Mee in soy sauce with pork mince, fish cake and some chillie sauce. Yummy...

    The best steak in KL!

    As my other half could basically survive on meat alone, we've been having quests to find the best steak in each city we've been to. Well, I can confirm that for KL the search has come to and end. Suzy's Corner in Ampang is the absolute winner! I had a tenderloin (as on the pic), perfectly good and sized for RM 32 (EUR 6). Nothing to add here - other than the fresh fruit juices are great as well, and the ambience is typical malaysian - plastic chairs outdoors. :-)

    Climbing

    As many of you know, a few weeks ago, I started indoor-climbing in the biggest Asian climbing gym called Camp5. I am going with a friend and am taking technical climbing classes once a week. It's so much fun  (and super hard work). My teacher pushes me to my limits, well over my limits and I leave the gym totally drenched every time. But I am progressing! Here is a picture - not of me, but of my teacher. Long way to the top...
