Hari Raya

For lunch today we went to a Hari Raya, or other words an "open house". We had some home made chicken/rice, Penang Laksa, fruit & various sweets. For 30 days after Ramadan there will be lots of  "open houses".

Arachnophobia

Yes, they do have "Creepy-Crawlies" here. This one was about 3" accross and could move fast!

Local Conractors

Need a concrete slab poured. These two guys are looking for work. Notice the two small piles of mixed on the spot cement? They take and scoop up the cement with a shovel, dump in place & trowel it smooth. It was looking like nice work.

Malaysian Krumkake

This street vendor was making a type of apom (pancake in Malay). It was a lot like krumkake, they would quickly cook the batter very thin in a very hot pan and then fold it over a couple of times. The apom cools down to a firm and crispy cookie similar to krumkake. It was a tasty coconut treat.
