Hi Rasa Malaysia

Thanks for the summary! Nice pics on your blog.

Intriguing recipes too - cincaluk with steamed egg is a new one for me! I love cincaluk fried with fatty pork - the asam jawa and cincaluk really whets your appetite....have to eat copious amounts of rice with it :raz:.

Welcome rasamalaysia. Your blog is a wonderful guide. My best friend and I were in Malaysia just after finishing university in 1992 and we ate almost exclusively at food stalls, which we found by simply stumbling upon them. I can only imagine the experience I will have the next time I visit, when I am armed with such great information. Thank you!
