Hand Wash Kettle

Hand wash kettle of the food stall  located at the second floor of Kota Kinabalu’s Central Market

Malays usually eat with their hands and it is not unusual to see a kettle with water on a dining table. That kettle is not a beverage receptacle, rather an apparatus for cleaning one’s hand with water right before eating.

Nasi Lemak

Leave a comment Posted by on September 21, 2012

Nasi Lemak is usually eaten for breakfast. Aside from an eating house, one can buy this from a street vendor early in the morning.

This is an easy to carry breakfast pack in a newspaper and banana leaf packaging. Cheap and portable and I have a thing for sambal.

I just found out the name of this street food I’ve snacked on in Penang. It’s rice noodle eaten with shredded coconut meat and brown sugar.
This is similar to a Philippine palitaw in taste but instead of rice cake it’s a rice noodle.

Barber’s Pole

Leave a comment Posted by on September 15, 2012

I have a thing with barber’s pole since the time I’ve known its history. Every time I see a barbershop I’d check if it has a barber’s pole.
Here is my photo collection of the barber’s poles in Malaysia.

This one with green helix. Usually it’s red-white or red-white-blue.
