The last couple of days have been spent working, learning, and attempting to catch up on sleep and become acclimated to my new environment. Needless to say, I've been eating a great deal of Asian cuisine, and thus far, it has all been quite delicious. For lunch this afternoon, it was a Korean pancake. Shaped like a personal size pizza and cut into similar triangle-shaped slices, it was made with fresh green onion and prawns and was rather delectable. Other than food, cab rides, training, and sleep, there hasn't been too much excitement these last couple of days. Monday night, however, was a great deal of fun. My colleagues and I wanted to find a spot to share a glass of wine, and after being dropped off in the middle of a street without much further direction, we found ourselves at Neo Tamarind, a gorgeous restaurant that is known for it's imitation of Bali. There were statues of Buddha greeting you in the entrance way and small, serene ponds with small fountains throughout the walkway of the entire restaurant. The best part was that, as is the case with most restaurants here in KL, Neo Tamarind is open air and the breeze at night paired with the intimacy and serenity of the decor created such a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere.
When we first sat down, we were immediately brought shot glasses with a green-tinted, syrupy liquid. After some contemplation and hesitant sips, we realized they were shots of lemon grass juice, and delicious lemon grass juice, at that. I've posted a few pictures below.
Love from Kuala Lumpur.
