The Boring Side of South East Asian cuisine

I have been really out of the internet "loop." There was as much internet access as there were roads in Borneo (i.e. none) so I haven't posted much. We spent quite a while trekking around the jungle living on instant noodles and trail mix. When we returned to Kuching we ate a lot more of the local specialty: chicken and rice.

The most interesting dish in Borneo is Laksa. Laksa is commonly eaten for breakfast. It's a spicy, buttery, coconut based soup with a huge helping of rice noodles, deep fried bean curd, a few green beans and bean sprouts. 

In Kuala Lumpur (peninsular Malaysia) we were able to eat some delicious Nepalese food near Little India.  The best part was gingery-pork filled momos (Nepalese dumplings).

Stay tuned for some more exciting meals/photographs!
