| Lunch at the Shanar Curry House. | Sue's lunch. No fish. | Bob's lunch. With fish. | That is a whole fish, head and all, tempura fried. Sue can't look at the head with eyes looking back. | Raj's lunch | ||

| Pandan - like baked Lays potato chips, or a very light tortilla chip. | Eggs on the warm shelf. Most countries don't wash the protective film off fresh eggs - US does so US eggs have to be refrigerated afterwards. | Next to the eggs, an altar for daily prayer. | All the gods. | Raj in "The Bathrobe" | ||

| Still looks good! | Dinner at the "Basil Thai Nudle Bar". Yes we are constantly eating! | Again the menu has great photos. | Wonderful veggies. | Chicken curry | ||
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
||
| SourSop juice (with some fruit at the bottom) | Pandan-leaf wrapped chickent (very tender!) | Mango salad | Appetizers (yes they did arrive last :-) | At the grocery store, these are pineapples. | ||
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
||
| Lots of fresh veggies that are familiar looking... | And some we've never seen, like these Arrow Head-Ngaku. | Bean sprouts kept hydrated in water. | Jambu Air Madu - also known as Water Apple. | |||
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
||
| Fish balls :-) | Tofu everywhere. | "Hey Dahl" | "UHT" is Ultra High Temperature processing (like very fast pasteurizing) UHT milk has a room-tempurature shelf life of 6-9 months. WOW. Why don't we see this in the US? | Two 'Non-Halal' signs, feels like they are yelling "unclean! unclean!" | ||
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
||
| And if you missed those two signs, there's a 3rd huge-er one overhead. Halal is the Muslim equivalent of Jewish kosher. | Anything pork or alcohol is by definition non-Halal. | The only US beer we saw (well, if Bud can truly be called 'beer') | Lots of choices | |||
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
||
| Corona too. | Cute Coke bottle! | Because Root Beer and Ginger Beer have 'beer' in the name they must be in the non-Halal section. Which means over half the customers will never buy this. Malaysia is majority Muslim so they set the rules. But this is just silly to ban an item because it has beer in the name! | Concise way to say "buy 1 get 1 free" | Cool mural on a building | ||

| Cooking satays on the street. | Raj measures Sue's head size for the bike helmet. | Or perhaps Sue is having her head examined. | ||
