Indo-Chinese cuisine is not just #malaysia & #singapore #tootsea
“origins of Indo-Chinese food go back over 100 years and lie in Calcutta.
In the 19thC, thousands of Chinese migrants arrived for work in the city, then the capital of British India.
Cantonese migrants worked in carpentry and the ship-fitting industry, while Hakka Chinese worked in the tannery and food business.
The first Chinese eatery was opened in the 1850s.”

Synopsis: Set in a dystopian Malaysia in which different races are forbidden to mix. A Chinese family moves into their new house to find a scared Malay girl still hiding in it. Should they get rid of her or try to smuggle her back to safety?

Here there's a phrase "penunggang___" most usually "penunggang agama" which is about the kind of hypocritical polemicists who like to give the impression that they're upholding their religion or their race or their country but these things are nothing more than metaphorical vehicles or pack animals for them to ride to success or fame. These personalities often come with the attitude of "terpaling___" or "the most___-ed" eg "terpaling victim"
Anyway, of course they can't commit to this, god forbid that would mean actually addressing the Rohingya problem.

讀：
“馬來西亞外交政策最大的轉向時刻還是發生在馬哈迪（Mahathir bin Mohamad）時期：馬哈迪在1983年宣佈不結盟運動，以及大英國協（Commonwealth of Nations，又稱共和聯邦）在馬來西亞的對外關係中不如伊斯蘭世界重要，標誌著馬來西亞的外交政策整體上向伊斯蘭國家傾斜。“
”巴解主席阿拉法特還曾經在1984年、1990年兩度到馬來西亞訪問，並受到馬哈迪的接待。但是在近20年來可以觀察到的是，馬來西亞政府傾向於和加薩政權哈瑪斯組織互動。尤其2013年納吉對加薩的訪問和哈瑪斯領袖對馬來西亞的官訪，是雙方關係升溫的轉折點。“
”有評論指出，PCOM的設立是因為2006年法塔赫（Fatah）的官員在選舉落敗後不願意撤離大使館，所以哈瑪斯才需要成立一個非官方組織來對接馬來西亞的事務，與法塔赫控制的大使館競爭。在寇斯對巴勒斯坦自治政府駐吉隆坡大使館官員的訪談中，PCOM更被該官員「認證」為哈瑪斯在馬來西亞活動的非官方「大使館」。“
The Twin Otter was originally designed by De Havilland Canada in the 60’s.
It is a twin-engine turboprop aircraft that can carry up to 19 passengers and is designed for rugged terrain journeys.
In Malaysia, it is usually used to transport passengers and cargo to remote locations where the Short Take-off and Landing (STOL) ports are located.

Trying to decide if I should take this journey in Nov or Dec. In Nov I had booked myself 4 days of leave. In December I have a week. Instead of stopping at Taiping, however, I'll be going on to Penang. It feels like it needs more than a week to do. Shifting some of my leave to Dec feels like a good idea.
Global Peace Index. I'm actually shocked that Malaysia made it to the top 20.
But I've always taken our peace for granted because I see so much tension in the political scene.
Grateful to be in a peaceful country.

I’ve unfortunately learned that there is a sport that combines sepak takraw and table tennis. It is called teqball, and it somehow has a curved table
Malaysians are such that this year's Michelin announcement of more additions from Malaysia has barely registered - I only saw it days back from my news feed, and I've yet to see it gone even mildly viral. Compared to last year, but mainly it was in the disbelieving tones of, what the fuck is this, and, if this makes the list where the fuck have they been eating, and, cheh KL Penang only Bib Gourmand only, and not to forget, well ok that's one more place we'll just let the tourists and expats go. Hater game strong 🤣 (I'll probably check them out... When I remember to. That said, quite a bit I can't go to anyway which just means I'll forget hahahaha) #TootSEA #Malaysia
Motorcyclists in Malaysia took part in a big rally to show support for the people of Palestine.

The sense of betrayal you feel when you decide to take a chance on another restaurant and the fried rice that came to you is so bland it might as well been white rice. I can cook better fried rice wei, and that's not saying much.
Now I feel like ordering from my usual nasi goreng shop to overcome my deep unfathomable disappointment. 🍚

The best nasi lemak are the ones that fit in your palm. If it's too big, it's just too much of a good thing. We have a Malay word for that - "muak". But this fist sized nasi lemak is just the right amount.
I wanted to tell the makcik selling it to up the price from RM1 to RM2, however. But I made sure to buy her kuih and lauk to make it better.
You know what's tragic? That I discovered Super Ring only during the COVID lockdowns. Like, what kind of Malaysian am I? Better than an RM14 bag of Lays, I tell ya.
And what's worse is I also only discovered Tiger milk biscuits then as well. Legit the best bikkies to dip into black coffee.
Yesterday, randomly came across a #Cdrama where someone needed a super rare blood type. Super tickled that they had to *fly over* the blood from #Malaysia to save that person.
Eh dei, as far as I know there is only a number of blood types and unless we have mutant nasi lemak blood pretty sure you can find that rare blood type from among the billions of people in #China 😂
Malaysians are so mysterious people think we have magic blood lol.
Just another day in the tropics! Spotted a flattened snake on my morning walk. This brave man and his equally brave poodle removed the snake from the road before it could be one with the road forever.
When #Malaysia and #Singapore fight we throw jokes at each other.
Better than nukes la
Leave it to Malaysians to make a post about being racist the funniest thing on Reddit 😆
This is one thing you need to understand about Malaysians - when we are confronted about social issues like these or about the dumb assery that is Malaysian politics - we make memes.

Saw this coffee spot this morning. Reminded me of Adelaide's CBD for some reason.
I miss city areas where they cordon it off from cars, allowing pop ups like these to mushroom and for people to just lounge around.
Suggest this to Malaysians and they will riot at the thought of not being able to drive 200m to their cafe joint.
I love recipes from my part of the world. Here’s one for ‘vegan salted egg fish skin’. A vegan version of a popular snack from there. https://eatwkriss.com/vegan-salted-egg-fish-skin/
Check out this recipe for a southern Malaysian Malay sambal kicap, however I doubt 20 birds eye chillies is the right amount for anyone not from that part of the world (try 8 if you think you’re a spice head)
Gonna make Ji Hu Char lite today. Lite because I don't have all the ingredients, including the must-have cuttlefish strips ;D Anyway, in this video it's close to how my mum makes it, except that she would slap my hands if I dare to cut my pork belly in big chunks like this. In my family, the pork belly must be cut in fine strips so that the fat will "melt" into the vegetables.
So this morning I was craving wanton noodles but there is nowhere in the city that makes it in the exact style I want (KL style dark soy sauce wanton noodles with fried wantons in a triangle shape). I went to a Cambodian grocer and butcher in my neighborhood and got, for $12, enough raw materials to make 6-8 portions!
Confession: I don't like Ramli burgers.
I like to watch this video a few times because I didn't realise as a Penang lang I have committed all these sins.
Fav one: Saying "Penang one better!"
So I finally had a taste of this super famous egg tart that everyone queues up for.
All I can say is... Thank god I didn't queue up an hour for this.
I mean it's good lah, but it remains a mystery why people would queue up in long lines for this. 🤷♀️

I'm starting to wonder if "Kuala Lumpur is not what I expected!" is some kind #Youtube SEO hack. 😆
I mean it's nice & cute that they are so amazed we are so modern, green and developed, but after a while I wonder if people are actually exaggerating for clicks.
yeah, I'm cynical lol
PS: The latest video I'm watching - the Youtubers were SO AMAZED our trains have....
toilets.
Okay then.
I was very worried I passed #Covid to my parents, whom I met for breakfast on Sat. Fortunately, they are negative. I think #Malaysia has gotten lax over masking. Masking mandates have been lifted, but not for public transportation (as far as I know) but more than half are not masking. I believe I caught COVID last week when I was in a packed train to KLCC. -_- Most were not masking. I was, but it's almost a pointless exercise.
I think I will be avoiding crowded LRTs & malls from now on.

A planned Sun Yat Sen museum will open later this year in Penang, Malaysia
Many important East and South Asian revolutionaries had extended visits to Southeast Asia to shore up support and money from the local Chinese and Indian populations respectively (many of whom did not receive Malayan or Singaporean or Indonesian citizenship until after independence so they were often still citizens of China and India, even if they’d never been)
Walking around KLCC Park. Always really glad this park is public. There's even a public swimming pool in the middle of the park.
