In a nutshell, Emma says that, so far, the only thing we have eaten here (in the food courts and hawker stalls of Malaysia) that was noticeably better than what e have had in New York City was the Samosa at a corner shop on Queen Street in the Little India section of Georgetown, Penang. The dough was thin; the frying oil was not excessive, the fillings of chicken or vegetables were generous, the spicing was excellent and the price was amazingly low. Aside from that, the only other notable dishes were Laksa, a fish broth filled with noodles and greens and Cendol, a shaved ice dessert concoction to which noodles, beans and other tidbits are added. The chilled coconut, with its wonderful liquid and gelatinous flesh remains our overall favorite.

| Once in a while the wait is not boring. |

| Cuttlefish bone is one of the more exotic dishes. |

| The gods need food too. This temple stall supplies some goodies for them. |
Tomorrow we fly to Singapore and connect to Colombo, Sri Lanka.
