Lovely weekend

It was a wonderful weekend. We spent time in shopping. You bet, girls are just getting excited whenever time arrived for shopping!

Finally I have bought those Khurti which i wanted to buy so much before coming to India. While shopping around the shoes stalls / shops, some indian ladies even watched my shoes in awe and wondered where did I buy them! (Perhaps I should be considering to start up some wholesaler business here!) lol!
Some souvenirs caught my attention - ANG PAU! haha! Well, the shopkeeper told me that was the paper packets. These are made up of hand-made paper. There were various kind of them - crushed paper, weaving paper, and leaf paper. The leaf paper is something the images of leaves are stamped on the papers they are dried up.

Indian is really famous for its spices. As food service student (again..!), interest in spices and some authentic foods is something deep rooted inside me. There are a lot of digestive stuffs (sort of dried plums) available here! You guys must be interested! I am so addicted to one kind of them - called AJWAIN. I bought some to bring back..

Then we followed Aiesecer Raj back her home. It was a nice windy place! Perhaps it is located in the 7th floor, so the room is just sooo ventilated and COOL! Her parents were very wise and warm persons! We had our dinner at about 10.30pm (sounds like my supper!) We were served authentic Southern Indian food in the northen India! How cool it sounds! See, we were trying to make the rice noodle! This is 100% home-made rice noodles: from boiling the rice into paste, adding salt and moulding it like kind of kuih, then stuffing the kuih inside the equipment to push the noodles out! Guess what, the rice noodles (or can I call it bihun, sounds more familiar to you guys) are being fried and accompanied with lemon dhal. Imagine the flavor...come on, use your imagination!
Besides bihun, we have something called dosa (which is what we called thosai in our country). The dosa is stuffed with onion potato. Really nice it was, I tell you!

Spending night sitting by the windows, listening to the wind.

The breakfast was cool! Cheese and butter toast! Raj is really a great host!
Sunday, this was the day our another Malaysia intern joining us. His name is Arun. Well, now the house is getting more lively, I guess.
Still hot...people are just wanting to lock themselves under the roof in the afternoon. You know, to prevent sun burn...
