not a food blog
A nice morning walk with Pokemon Go and roti canai at mamak.
For folks who are planning to visit Malaysia/tourists: In this video, no-one is wearing mask (us included) because we are outdoors and we are doing sports activities. Please note, mask is MANDATORY for indoors area, especially public area.
My friend, an American-Korean, asked me: “Do you (Indonesians and Malaysians) have cold dishes, like cold noodles? Or dishes that’s specific for summer?”
I said no, we don’t have it. Then I realized, yes, we do not have such dishes.
Also, we don’t assign dishes based on seasons. I guess, it’s because we are in the tropics where the seasons and the weather fairly constant all year long. There are dishes based from seasonal fruits, though.
I guess that’s the perk, yeah? And perhaps, we have hot dishes even when it’s hot outside just so we will get sweaty after eating and the breeze will cool us down ?
I had bi bim guk su (spicy Korean cold wheat noodles) for lunch, and it’s pretty refreshing. Even though cold noodles usually available in Japan and Korea during summertime, it’s available all-year long here in Kuala Lumpur.
It also reminds me when my friend once commented that “it smells like winter,” when she whiffed a scent of cinnamon.
How about you? Do you have seasonal dishes in your country?
I used to have an Apple Watch, until I gave it to my son along with my old iPhone.
I found myself not suitable for wearing Apple Watch — note the wording and the sentence there. In fact, I don’t think I can wear wristwatch ? My skin will get itchy really fast, and it will bleed due to me scratching it.
Another reason is, I hate to track things. It’s like… Instead of feeling motivated, I would see myself as a failure if I couldn’t keep the streak. Oh, I missed one day? That’s it. I don’t want to continue.
However, tracking things is important. It shows progress, discipline, and determination. How do you all track your progress?
A month too late, but I just stumbled upon IKEA France’s Tiktok video, hinting a possible collab with Animal Crossing. Unfortunately, no further information about this other than IGN picked up this news when the video was posted.
