A morning in a museum does not prepare one for midday heat. Oh dear there is a megamall between me at the hotel (refer yesterdays comments on shopping). I stopped by at the foot court and ordered a 'durian cendol' dessert so that I can have an opinion on durian, 'the stinky fruit '. It was crushed ice shaped into a cone, coconut milk poured over, and topped with cold red beans yes just like what Eddy doesn't like, a local soft green vege called cendol, and mashed durian. It cost MYR5.50, about $2.20. I sat on the edge of a big pool with huge fish, expertly dipping my bare feet in the cool water, on the quiet. The dessert was interesting, tasty, and even though I've since had a big lunch of fish and rice with two glasses of carrot juice, the durian taste is burping up as constantly and as stealthily as the feet sneaking into the pool.
