A very important part of any trip in Southeast Asia is the food!! Can't go wrong with the following ingredients: (1) Coconut milk (2) curry powder (3) peanuts (4) chilies (5) tofu- although this is debatable for some (6) Rice- the most important part of the meal for many southeast Asians
To begin with Teh Terik is so yummy. The Malaysians aren't messing around when it comes to tea. Terik literally means pulling. They "pull" the tea back and forth between cups to create foam and mix the tea with the sweetened condensed milk! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPuIybnQemc
Here Elizabeth and Huy are enjoying some teh terik at the bus station!
Next is the amazing curry and noodles- 88 Jonker St is one of the best restaurants in Malaka. You know this by the line that is constantly in front of the restaurant. This was my dish minus all of the meat. They load it up with all sorts of sea food!
We stood in line for 45 minutes to go to dinner at century 100... a satay place! Was it worth it... YES!
This is a hotpot sort of deal where but everything is on a skewer. I had veggies (morning glory and cucumber) and tofu satays. The others had meat- don't ask me which kind! :)
And then there is the glorious night market where all of your dessert and drink dreams can come true....
In Kuala Lumpur we went to a very Indian Restaurant where they came around with banana leaves for the placemats/plates. We got the rice first and then a choice or 3 different curries. And let me tell you that it was some of the best food I've had in a while. Yum... and I'm holding a lassi- an Indian yogurt drink.
