After returning to paklong and maklong (my brother-in-law and his family) on Wednesday, the first thing I noticed was how fast these workers outside were building that new “Elmina Valley” – the first of the roofs were about to get ready:
Our adik and family also joined us again, and together we visited iCity:
Aqilah and her mum Zu on a train carousel:
On Saturday, Mitchie was invited to visit some of her former classmates and alumni and friends/husbands, but I didn’t take the camera there. It was nonetheless very interesting, and for the second time in my life I also ate Durian, this time in form of a cake. Nice, but not that easy to digest.
In the evening, both our families brought us back to KLIA – the header image is from a short stop on the motorway, not too far off the airport. At 2am on Sunday morning, our plane was to leave, so we had to say goodbye and terima kasih (= thanks) at around 1 o’clock. It was great to see them all again, and 6 years in between was way too long – so we hope to meet them again soon. My joke from yesterday: for my next birthday I said I’d wish for nothing special – just a cake, like the one maklong had. Available at Secret Recipe (in Malaysia only) 😉
Other things to try, should you visit Malaysia: Nasi Lemak and/or Roti Canai for breakfast, and Laksa, like Zu made it. Delicious like the whole Malaysian cuisine. One request of my brother was to write down the recipe of my favourite dish there – we bought him a book instead…
Thanks for reading, and for viewing.
