The Silver Chariot

The annual festival of Thaipusam saw thousands of Hindu devotees take to the streets of Kuala Lumpur last night. The 15-km procession of the golden statue of deity Lord Muruga on a silver chariot started around midnight and ended at Batu Caves just before noon.

Photography Tip: To add some glow to the chariot, overexpose it slightly and apply either some greasy  fingerprints on the lens filter or use a software haze or fog filter.

Who says Puchong is like a cowboy town? It is like New York City where the Royal Malaysian Police Mounted Unit patrol the streets, ready to gallop after a snatch thief or trample a mugger.

I was pleasantly surprised to see these two officers and their horses in Bandar Puteri Puchong yesterday. Not only do they inspire a sense of safety but the men gave a hat tip and a wave after hearing the sound of the shutter click.

Combine straight off-the pan crispy fried chicken with egg yolk-soaked santan (coconut milk) rice and we have a simple but delicious dish that drives so many people into a dark back lane.

Bumbung is along Jalan 21/17, Sea Park, Petaling Jaya.
