An American Cyclist In Little India

Saw this backpacking cyclist in Brickfields today. The area is also also known as the Little India of Kuala Lumpur. In a brief chat, found out he is from the USA and his last stop was Bali. I like the colourful backdrop provided by the Indian ornament shop.

Happy Fourth of July – Independence Day to followers from the United States.

Langat Kaya

The Kuala Pansoon area is well-known for its picturesque kampung houses, hills, rivers and eco resorts. At the village square, is a nondescript kopitiam famous for its kaya or coconut egg jam. The family started making the breakfast spread some forty years ago. Branded as Kaya Sri Langat, it has become so popular that they now make around 12,000 jars a month.

The kaya is preservative-free and their pandan-flavoured version is made with real pandan (screwpine) leaves. Don’t just take-away but try it there with their steamed or toasted Hainanese bread (fluffy Roti Benggali), half-boiled kampung chicken eggs and black coffee.

Nam Wah Coffee Shop, it seems, is also popular with the cycling community and is at 18th Mile Hulu Langat.
