Sat Apr 20 03:21:25 2002 (rr) Book: Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei LP Location: Malacca In Malacca, where we are working on our drawing skills, inspired by the beautiful and varied architecture. The food is a melange of different influences. Last night we ate some Nyonyan (peranakan, or Straits Chinese) food, including some incredibily spicy Devil Chicken and some flavorful (but not spicy) fried chicken and a plateful of chop Chai, a cabbage and tree fungus dish that cooled down one's mouth after some Devil chicken. Also, some Tiger beer. Most of the restaurant was occupied by a large group of people who had maybe just played an intra-company bowling tournament? We're not sure, but they were from two different locations and were having a great time. At night, the fancifully decorated trishaws light up with strands of Christmas lights. The street near our hotel came alive with a night market that was a blend of hot snacks, chinese cafes, and knick-knack stalls. |
