Prole's Travels: So much for a lazy day.

it wasn’t too busy but we did a few things. First went to another mall on the way to where i thought the toy museum was. it was quite new and nice, right on the waterfront. It looks like it could be on reclaimed land by the way the seawall is.

After getting some supplies, bottle of water, snacks, coffee frappe from Starbucks etc, we headed off to where i thought i had seen the toy museum the day before. The bus driver didn’t know what i was on about but we got bus tickets anyway. we got off where i had seen the life size plastic toy figure and immediately realised why the driver didn’t know what i was talking about, it was a daycare. Great, now what are we going to do. Might as well have a look around. So we had a wander down the street and found a beach, it was ok. th more exciting thing we found was the giant bees on the vine near the beach.

After a little look around we caught a bus back to near where we are staying, Sharon had spotted a place that sold frog porridge and i was quite keen to try it. It was closed, sing saying off day. across the road was a small hawker centre so I asked there. Yes the place over there sells frog but you will need to wait until 6pm when they open. no problem, got some drinks and played travel rummy for 3/4 hour. cool 6 o’clock, frog time. I went and ordered, price will be RM15, how would you like it cooked, fried with chilli or no chilli, well i want to taste the frog so no chilli. it came out, i got stuck in. I thought it was going to taste like chicken, WRONG, it tasted like a delicate fish. it was chopped up, as most asian dishes are, and cooked in a sweet ginger sauce with chives. Delicious. The skin was crispy like fish skin goes when fried. Sharon even tried a little piece, on the way back tto the hotel we were thinking how good it would be in a chowder with scallops and other seafood.

Its not all pretty here, in fact so far we haven’t been far out of the city so not realy pretty at all.
