This morning, after
packing up, we walked down to Lotus Food Corner for some more roti
pancakes and fresh orange juice then hopped aboard the coach and
headed down the mountain – and into the requisite crawling traffic.
The bus dropped us back near the malls and we walked back to the our
old hotel, the Malabar Inn, where we hung around in the room until it
was beer o'clock. Then it was back to the Monalisa Cafe for some
beer, chips and cards. The guy serving us noted our interest in card
games and returned with two fresh packs – freebies from various
beer companies.
For dinner, we went
to a Chinese restaurant called Teksen that Tony had recommended –
and judging by its popularity, gets recommended by a lot of other
people, too. The food was good, but the portions were small and
expensive, so we were still hungry when we left. We wandered the back
streets for a while to see if we could find something else to eat.
Kate hit paydirt first, coming across a cart selling sesame-seed
covered red bean and lotus balls and buying a couple of each. We then
swung by Ho Ping, where Zoe got a barbecued-pork bun, and finally
stopped in at a very local-looking tandoori restaurant where Sarah
and I got some really good naan straight out of the tandoor, which
was set up right out next to the pavement.
