We were so taken with the orangutans we didn't want to move too much this weekend. So we only covered 43 miles in this time (43 on day 48 - a big fat 0 on day 49!) and so we we had more time to spend with them.
Well as we were visiting the orangutans we had lots of time for eating (hurrah!).
Malasian cuisine is so great as it benefits from the mixed heritage of Malaysia: Malays; the influx of Chinese during the Ming Dynasty who married Malays and are called "Nyonya," and three centuries of Chinese and Indian migrants. We devoured the national dish of Nasi Lemak- a rice cooked with coconut milk and served with anchovies, nuts, cucumbers,a slice of egg, a chili paste known as sambal and a choice of curries. For pudding we had "Han Chi Peng" a fried sweet, salty doughout which looks like Swiss roll (as well as banana fritters for greedyguts here)!
