My day started out as usual. Excessive perspiration and uncontrollable frizz. By the time I got to the office, I looked as though I have travelled on foot and done hard labour for half a day. Lunch time was better. I knew not to eat too much (irony). I got all those in the picture plus two more pieces of liver, ice tea, and a sago drink for $3.00. Of ourse, I didn't finish eating all the rice nor did I touch that plate of chicken sitting in the back.
Dinner: Went to this fancy mall with same co-workers. I got to see a bit more of Malaysia and saw how the traffic flows. You have to be aggressive in KL or else you won't get anywhere. No one really follows the traffic laws and mortor cycles will whizz through any free space and red light if they can. Got Udon for dinner. Chicken wasn't cooked properly so I ended up wasting the four pieces of chicken entirely. Ate the livers from lunch and the two pieces of chicken in the package. Japanese food in comparison with others are pricy. This udon alone cost $3.00. Again, I couldn't finish the food. And, you can't exactly pack in Malaysia. You either pack the thing entirely or you don't at all. Of course exceptions do exit.
Temptations: As we were browsing through the mall, we came across Haagen Dazs store. They serve cakes as well as icecream. I went in to try one of their ice cream cakes but ended up ordering this sushi platter instead. Pricy? Yes! But, definitely worth it. Fresh fruit and delicately hand crafted pieces of ice cream with assorted nuts and flavors...who wouldn't want to try them? Over all, this dish alone cost $10.00 but they were having a promotion and therefore got two free scoop of ice cream for my friend that would have costed about $6 on its own. They have so many more exciting presentations but for the sake of my budget and my wasteline, I really have to start watching out and stop giving into my temptation to try anything new.

LOL!! Is that banana leaf? The soup looks good. The ice-cream bit really got me though this past weekend was really cold here. Looking forward to so 'many more exciting presentations'. :)
