After 6 months of exercise ....

...this is how much has melted off .

My tummy is still visible but I am not gonna suck it in for the camera .

It's taken 6 months of hard exercise ( despite some periods of illness and pain ) to get to this stage .

Cotton On haul - 1 Bomber jacket , 5 Coar

Omg I went mad just now in the store . There were plenty of the stuff that I was looking for and I ended up with yet another 6 pieces from Cotton On 

Harum Manis mangoes - how not to get cheated

A 3 hour drive from Penang gets you to the border of Perlis , the tiniest state in Malaysia .

Thailand lies beyond , but now being June , sees our presence here for a sampling of the famed Harum Manis mangoes . This species of mangoes thrives best only in this state and is only available from May to June thus we made it just before the season ended .

That clutch of mangoes below weighs approximately 2 kilos and cost us 50 ringgit for the whole lot .

You might be turned off by the black spots and think that they are not perfect but not to worry , the fruits are still edible .

Icing on my cendol cake

While walking along Gurney Drive this afternoon , there were these 2 mamat motors sitting there .

It's ramadhan and the muslims are fasting , and some of them choose to sit in shady or cool areas for a while , to take their mind off food , since they are not allowed to eat till dusk .

So happens that there are a lot of tourists in this area and they must have thought I was one too because one of the men started nudging his friend as he said ....

Loke Sok Seafood - fast forward 2017

This kopitiam is actually famous for its fish noodle . But if anything is to go by and you observe like I did , and notice that most of their loyal old customers end up looking like garoupas with too many visible age spots on their skin , that's a huge No Thank You from me . 

We are what we eat after all .

I hardly take belacan and prawn paste but I do like fish occasionally , so what am I doing here actually ?

Well , there is a chu cha operator that opens till around 2 pm or so . The old cook from last time is no more around but these guys are just as good and this is what we called for .
