Charcoal-fired, rotisserie-style roasting of chicken at a Ramadan bazaar. Known as Ayam Golek, the chicken is marinated with a special grandma’s recipe, as every vendor claims.

Despicable Meow
I think my cat is watching too much of that apprentice show on TV. Even with evidence clearly stacked against her for attempted murder, she said the dog is to be blamed. Despicable! Fortunately, the little minion didn’t hang around to chew on the evidence. He ran for dear life and escaped.
This cat is one of many strays I caught for my personal Catch-Neuter-Release project. After coming back from the vet, she refused to leave and adopted me.

Dreamy Supper
While many were sleeping, party people from the now defunct 11 L.A. Disco used to cross the river for this dream supper at 4 am. It was the original and the best “Roti Banjir Special” (Flooded Indian Pancake) in the business
Two soft-boiled eggs hovering gently over a shredded piece of roti canai (flour pancake) flooded with dahl (lentil bean stew) and topped off with a dash of spicy sambal (chilli condiment).
Always consistent, the eggs were perfect with the smooth whites tasting like custard and the runny yolk was delicately encased until you spill it to fuse with the rest. Heavenly!
The cooks I used to know have retired and gone back to India. The stall is still there though, popular as ever. They still serve the same Roti Banjir Special. Give it a try when you are shopping at the Midnight Pasar Ramadan in that area.
