Day 5 (Malaysia): Buns & Home Cooking

Stayed home today.

Breakfast. Chee Cheong Fun (rolled rice noodles with ground bean paste).

Day 4 (Malaysia): Mid Valley Mega Mall

Too much shopping and food.

We began the day with some kaya bao (steamed bread buns filled with coconut jam) and lo mai gai (glutinous sticky rice).

Day 1 (Malaysia): The glorious food journey begins.

Be warned. This is a long post with lots of pictures of delicious food.

That said, we begin with my dinner on the Air Asia flight to Malaysia from the Gold Coast.

As a kid, I loved plane food. All the different compartments were like bento boxes, super fun.

This… less fun. I’d ordered the vegetarian meal, and thus got vegetarian lasagna. The quality was akin to a frozen meal – oily tomato sauce packed with dried herbs, more cheese than pasta, overcooked spinach and what I presume were two thin slices of mushroom. The meal also came with a bottle of water, handy given my sore throat.
