Nirwana Maju

After meeting my friends, I went over to my sister's place at Damansara Perdana.

Here's the view from the balcony..
view of the opposite condominium..



The next morning, ie last Sunday, we went for banana leaf curry rice in Bangsar.

Restoran Nirwana Maju

a big banana leaf was put in front of me..
then the rice was put on the leaf..

added the dhal..sambal..

curry potatoes..fried brinjal..and a plate of fried squid

Scrumptious..


I wanted to try this special rice for quite some time already 
but I just couldn't find the time..

Finally, I made it!

    You were managed to stay a night at KL, great. Otherwise it would be too tiring to travel back to Ipoh again.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
