So this black blob doesnt look like anything to shout about. Why would I want to even do a post on it, right?
Wrong!
What you see here is an awesomely wonderful tasty meal ....
... of lamb cooked in, of all things,
coffee!
It is the yummiest caffeine high yet!
Made with the local Tenom Coffee, served at the Tenom Coffee Cafe, I had tried it some years ago. It made a distinct impact on me - I was so high that as I sat on the toilet to pee, smelling the caffeine-laced discharge, I called up my friend who introduced me to the dish, telling her in a giggly way what I was doing.... groan.... am I posting this? OK, OK, I will. I mean how often do I do confess such loonyness.
Anyway, as you can see, it made an impression on me. So when a new friend came to town, I madly remembered this and took her to have lunch.
And the rest is history....
No, no, no. I didnt go peeing and phoning again.
I just had a meal over conversation and then went home.
Honestly.
Muaahahahahaha!
Wrong!
Which is exactly what happened the other night! Apart from the exquisite food that was served in delightful textures and tastes, there was this bicycle on the table.
But actually the bicylce was an ornament - a very cute little ornament with functional parts. And at the back of it carried some keropok, fried banana fritters and yam flakes. Yum!
We were having an Indian meal. In a nice posh place. The ambiance was unlike anything I had ever experienced and most conducive to a lovely evening with other folks who had worked hard together on a conference.
The Spice Island. Definitely a worthwhile stop. I heard that we might be going there again next month! YUM!
The blackened areas seem to be permanent despite the recent showers of rain.
So much work still has to be done, just to make it safe. I wonder how much damage was incurred by the shop next door.
I am told that the downstairs of the main shop remains all right though. Interesting. The different levels must be well insulated.
This is a cul-de-sac where our friends house is located. We had a lovely few days there in outskirts of London with them.
This is in the picturesque town of Amersham. The church grounds to be precise.
The well-tended gardens and lawns are one of the outstanding features of the English countryside.
For some homes, there is not much garden. But the owners are not to be deterred - they find creative ways to bring some colour to their houses, like this hanging flower basket.
Colours galore.
