what to do what to do

I feel like good things seem to come to me all at the wrong times...... for sure I need them but to have them all at the same time means that I only can choose one and this decision making process is where I will most probably mess up. It is like going to the bazaar Ramadan and with so many stalls with smoke from the bbq or ayam golek and the unmistaken aroma from such a variety of glorious food.... I just have to go buy food from three stalls which are probably the worst.

Read somewhere that Ramadan is more of a 'feasting' month here than a fasting month. I cant agree more. With buffets skyroceting to 50-100 bucks per head, look around KL and you will think that we just have too much money to spend. Now how much food do you need to eat to make you feel that the 100 bucks are worth it? If they serve lobster maybe 2-3 tails would do it.... but I dont think that many buffets have lobsters....

Yes indeed I went to the Taman Equine bazaar which is the nearest to my house for the first time yesterday, but the food that I got were not too good. I usually go to the one near UPM cause they have more variety, and for some reason I have this mindset that old, kampungy places (like Serdang...) have better food?? This is just based on my 'feel', no fact to support this. But so far all the foods from Serdang bazaar have made me happy during breaking of fast.

And then the Putrajaya bazaar. Out of boredom I just decided to take a drive there and see what can we find there. Dam the biggest bazaar so far. So many stalls with so many variety.... you can smell the smoke and aroma from one mile and salivate all you want.

Theres this roti john stall which have always had at least 10 people lining up for the roti.... very curious about this but so far I have managed to control the urge to just get in line to find out what the fuss is all about. Also a popiah stall with as many people lining up always... how good can a freaking popiah be??? Never tested this also. A stall selling 'satar'... I have never heard of such a thing before, apparently its like otakotak of some sorts but in pyramid shape.

Then theres this kerang bakar stall. The first time that I had it it was like the most delicious kerang bakar ever. The kerang is marinated with spices similar like ikan bakar; the kerang itself inside the shell gets the marinade somehow. Before this when I had kerang it has always been the kerang taste purely like kerang.... no spiciness or marinade and what not, but this one was so different. But the second time was not so good. The spice-marinade thing was still there, but the kerang was not fresh, at all. I had to throw away the whole thing. But Im gonna give the kerang makcik a second chance, just because of her spicy wow factor.
