At least Kuala Lumpur has the Petronas Twin Towers it can identify with.My Mum calls them the Corn on the Cob twins.

The abundance of lowrise shop/flats make up Kuala Lumpur but you won't see them featured by the Malaysian Tourism Board.

Wow, hope my ignorance doesn't come shining through here but the mere mention of the word "unagi" has me drooling for possibly one of my favourite dishes of all time, 'unagi don' (which I think means bowl of eel?).
The thought of the eel being incorporated into a 'set' has left me speechless!
And hungry.
He Dad, nice of you to drop by, thank you. Japanese fodder is way too expensive for most of the folks in South East Asia except the rich Singaporeans but it's still at least a third of what we might pay in London!
You are the James Brown of blogging - the hardest working man in the blogosphere ! I also dislike the term congee, it's simply 'juk' to me. Enjoy your trip !
Mr Noodles- Erm, also an excuse to dump my photos somewhere. Juk is right on, in the case of the above; chee chup juk.
