I thought I would share some of the breakfast option in Penang. This is noodle fried with gravy on top. It is called Sar Hor Fun (there are some other variations of preparation but this is my favorite) and the best part is it cost only RM3/plate (US$0.85). For those interested in knowing how to prepare it the formula can be found here . This is an Roti Chanai. You can think of it as an Indian Pancake served with curry. It cost RM0.60 per piece (US$0.17). You can learn how to make it here . However, for those who have not seen it, the preparation is rather entertaining and can be seen here .

Look at the beautiful of the tropical forest observed from the cable car going up to Genting Highland from the Genting Skyway. This happens to be longest cable car in South East Asia.

Pyramid Parking Originally uploaded by strovek Just visited Sunway Pyramid this weekend. I found that the new parking lot for the convention center is fantastic. The following is a photo taken from the Star web site. Notice the light at the top of the parking lot. If it is not occupied, it will be green. Once occupied, it will turn red. This makes it much easier to find vacant parking lots. I also found the parking lots to be very spacious and well lit. Bravo!!
