For the foodies - Malay and Indonesian food,,,,

I've been eating some delicious food in this part of the world. Roti chandi, which is a bread used to mop up sauces is pretty good - the curried meats with it have been even better. Had a great chicken tikka in KL along with kidney in a marinated sauce - which sounds a bit 'erghh!' but was fantastic. It was a bit of a surprise as I thought it was chicken but a tasty surprise! In Singapore, my favourite dishes have been an indonesian dish called rendang lempur which is made with beef and elicited an "Oh my God, this is so good!" response from me as the waiters watched this diminuitive woman demolish the very large serving (apparently I do eat a lot, I've been told!). A pretty rousing prawn curry in Little India has been memorable along with local Singaporean dim sum which had some very interesting food combinations. All washed down with lime juice which is really refreshing and cleans the palette after anything spicy. My mango obsession STILL continues! I think traditional culinary delights might take a bit of a nosedive once I leave Asia. I've been told that Australia is famous for its.......pies! Although, in the words of a born and bred Australian, 'they are really, really good pies!"" I think I'm going to need a bit more convincing on that point after the food I have eaten over the last 7 weeks.
