KL Tour First Stop: Bah Kut Teh + Durian

At 11am, we drove to where Margit was staying - YWCA. It's situated in KL beside Methodist Boy School (Lyssa's Bf calls it the Monkey Boy School because he studied there but I think Mad Boy School is more appropriate :p). It was quite a search because none of us have heard of it but we managed to locate it with the help of a girl from a church nearby.

First stop: Bah Kut Teh at Pudu

Restaurant Sun Hong near Times Square

This place was highly recommended by Lyssa and her Bf. Apparently, his family are regulars at this place. Unfortunately, it was after we sat down that we found out that Margit is a vegetarian! Fortunately, she takes seafood. We ordered Bah Kut Teh, Lala (shell like seafood), cabbage with preserved tofu and deep fried tofu with chili sauce.

I apologise for not having any pictures of what we had because I was so busy eating I forgotten all about it. The restaurant must be quite famous because groups of tourist were arriving by the bus loads every 15 minutes. Business was obviously booming.

Margit was very happy with the Lala because there aren't any fresh seafood in Austria (she's from Vienna). She was especially fascinated by how the cabbage was prepared and was curious about the preserved tofu (Later we brought her to one of the malls and showed her the bottle of preserved tofu). Being a vegetarian, she's glad to learn more methods to prepare vegetables.

Durian

Since we were a bit disappointed that our initial plan go as planned, I suggested trying out the King of Fruits - Durian. There was a stall nearby and we bought a Durian for Margit to try. Her friends told her it was horrendous and the smell is very strong. But when she smelt it, she loved it. The aroma of the Durian was not very strong because it was at the roadside but the taste was delicious.

Both of us enjoying the fruit

"Tastes like Honey Melon," says Margit. (does it??? O_o)

Margit was very brave to try it and she enjoyed it thoroughly. Who says "ang moh" don't like Durians ah???

Durian Kiss
