On my way back to Singapore for CommunicAsia next week, I decided to drop by Jakarta, staying at Marriott again. …Okay, that is oxymoron ;-) Anyway, I am here for a day before pop’ing back to Singapore tomorrow.

Hawker Center
Was wandering in downtown KL yesterday and walked pass this very old hawker place. I remember as a kid that I used to go to hawker center like this, old, rundown, bad plastic chairs and tables but the food are always great. This is a great contrast to Singapore which is always clean and these […]
