Mangosteen pavlova with kaffir lime candied cucumber. Catfish mango salad. Cheeeeeeese cake. And more to come.
Many meals later: They sigh, one after another. Finally someone says it — “Why can’t we find food like this back home?”
Ah. More satisfied customers – the only way our guests should be.

This isn’t an itinerary! It’s an eatinerary!!! :p
@Sean: Good golly, so right you are – it IS an eat-inerary! *chuckles*
Mangosteen pavlova – bistro a table???
I’m taking a random guess here
@Michelle Chin: Bingo on Bistro à Table! *winks*
One of the best parts of meeting with friends is the eating part :)
@Selba: Absolutely. (But the meeting friends part ain’t half bad either, haha.)
Good to be ur friend, can eat so much good food but bad also, bring back home a big tummy >.<
@Choi Yen: Haha, I think the tummy can be a good thing – it’s evidence of many, many good meals.
Wow wow wow.. drooling at the eatinerary! Hehe Can I be your guest too? perhaps at some point in future? :P
@iamthewitch: Hahaha, sure. But “guest”? Aren’t you my neighbour? *chuckles*
god village park is perpetually crowded
@kc: Not on a weekday mid-morning. Was just there today! Parking is more of a problem than getting a table, really. *chuckles*
*GASP* You forgot Banana Leaf Rice! Hokkien Mee. Nasi Kandar. Assam Laksa. Curry Mee. Tempoyak. Chicken Rice. Char Siew.
But I guess that why our visitors return for more, year after year. ;D
@HairyBerry: Heh heh. So much food. So little time.
burp.
@ciki: Make that a durian burp as we went and had some the next day!
sei for loh! eat like that, how not to get fat??!
@lena: Exactly! *looks at own ever-expanding waistline*
I have never heard of Tom Yam Ka Moo (clear tom yam soup with braised pork trotters)! Bring us when we land in June :-P
@kopikosonggirl: Oh, totally! The list of places to bring you guys keep growing and growing… You might all wanna extend your stay in KL… *winks*
