sen wise or foolish?

we were at a very popular kopitiam franchise in USJ, taipan... we ordered a basket of curry puffs...

it arrived...

in the basket... costing us RM2.60 (before tax), were 2 very very extremely small curry puffs which did not taste fantastic... nor looked fantastic...

why why... why would anybody order that ever again?? ... why would anybody allowed that to remain the menu. whatever happened to value for money??????

ho chi minh

waded through 1 feet of boogerized water, weaving through bikes and cars and buses, in the rain, covered in a plastic sheet, to get to rum and raisin ice cream...

had super yummy vietnamese fare consisting of a variety of rice cakes, pho ("fer"), vietnamese coffee, beef steaks, wan tan noodles (ok... that's chinese) with humongous wan tans, sanwiches with beefy floss, ....


checked out the hcm post office which was super huge and had telephone booths which are air conditioned! and nice looking tiled floor...

swam in ocean, ate yummy fresh sweet steamed? crab on Vung Tau beach, then ate (again) yummy food in a beautifully landscaped place overlooking the sea... called binh an ("peace")

ate yummy fresh shrimp on rice flour cake fried in lots of oil, sitting on short short stools

saw handicapped ppl made amazing looking lacquer ware with egg shells! and mother of pearl...loved the USD3300 partition.... so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

waddled through a tiny tiny tunnel, used by guerilla during vietnam war, which resulted in achy thigh muscles for the subsequent 3 days

massage and pampered from head to toe in an amazing spa called dragon's nest, under very trained and practised hands... with rosemary scented oil...so nice...

met nice new friends sim (from hcm) and rie (from japan)

had vietnamese fare in Gold Fish with waiters who were speaking to us in japanese, and we (malaysians) replying in vietnamese and japanese, together with a pretty japanese girl who speaks to waiters in japanese and to us in english.... so globalised...


so good...
