Malaysian local food

This morning I was thinking on the price of food in Malaysia. 20 - 30 years ago, the price of nasi lemak wrapped in banana leaves was only 20 to 30 cents. At that time the nasi lemak was accompanied with cucumber, boiled/fried eggs, anchovies, and kangkong and the taste was really nice, especially the sambal. But today, the nasi lemak price has gone up so much, however with less accompaniments - only with cucumber, eggs and sambal. The rice also is not as lemak as those in the past. The sellers should really improve the taste of the nasi lemak for this food to sustain in the future.

Malaysian Restaurant Service

How many of you would agree that most restaurants in the country do not provide good services? I had many problems with restaurant service. Most restaurants are out there to make money, but they don't care about the service. How are we going to attract/ create new customers if we cannot serve the customers well. Just think about it.

But some restaurants are really good with service, for example the Palmgarden Renaissance Putrajaya Hotel. One of the restaurants did very well to win their customers heart by solving the problem immediately. This is what service is all about. Providing excellence service that will make you want to return to the same restaurant.

Famer's Market Pastries in Viana DeCastelo, Portugal

These are some of the delicacies I found in a farmers' market in Portugal. Some of the pastries are fruit tarts, savouries, swiss roll and cream horns. I tried one of these pastries, it was really good. The price was not bad too. Next time, if you travel don't forget to try the local delicacies.

Perfect Lunch in Portugal

This was the lunch that I had in Portugal. Its a white fish, served with tomato rice and a simple salad. The fish was fantastic, it was crispy and moist. One of the best lunch that I had while travelling in Portugal. The restaurant is located near Mayor Square. I didn't remember the name of the restarant. The price is just average, not too expensive. Overall, I could say that Portgal is a good destination, value for money. Not too expensive like any other European cities. The people were also very freindly and warm. You feel safe everywhere.

Frankfurt Market

It is amazing how you could have all these fresh tropical fruits in Frankfurt. The fruits are nicely arranged and they are yummy too. You can find all kinds of fruit including yellow dragon fruit, the first time that I ever saw this fruit. The taste of the yellow dragon fruit is succulent and sweet. The quality is the best -A++, not like what we use to get back home. Just think about it.

Cocktail Recption on the Street in Frankfurt

A cocktail on a street in Frankfurt, September 2007. This is how the Germans served their food on the street. Could you imagine? The food is perfect and nicely presented.

Can we do this in Chow Kit Road?
