I had a great time in Kuala Lumpur, the food was my favourite part. I did a Malay cooking class with LaZat (translation = delicious) and learned how to make 4 Malaysian dishes, prawn fritters (YUM!!!!!) Beef Reading, spicy cucumber salad and for desert, coconut balls steamed in banana leaves. Saadiah was our wonderful teacher. I had so much fun and it was so delicious! That evening, I did a food tour with our awesome tour guide, Michelle. She knew all the best places to go, where all the locals eat. Places in the suburbs that you wouldn't find on your own. She kept driving us to new places and feeding us until we couldn't eat any more! Some of the things we tried were, Nasi Lemak, curry, chilli pan mee, durian (a spiky fruit known for being very smelly), curry with a variety of different roti and to finish, satay, including stomach satay, which had kind of a hard jelly like texture but actually tasted quite nice. My last day in KL I went to the Batu caves. It isn't very far from KL. Only 30 minutes by train. The cave is described as a huge cathedral like cave. It is a work out to get up all the steep steps to the top! And there are cheeky monkeys everywhere. Some had little babies clinging onto them too.

I can't remember the name of this delicious roti, it was thin, crisp and sweet! So Yum.
Durian, which I thought tasted quite nice actually
