Trip to Malaysia - Cont'd

I am so lazy to update this blog of mine. I just don’t have the mood since I came back. My entire joints still aches a lot and the medicine the doctor gave is not helping much with the pain and the cold weather didn’t help either. I have been reading online about this Chikungunya Fever which I suspect that I got from Malaysia. It said that the older you get the longer it will takes to heal.

I better continue posting some pictures of my trip home. My niece Amelia already starts complaining that I take too long to update my blog. Anyway, here are some pictures of the food I ate back home. Amelia, hope it won’t make you miss home too much ;)

The much awaited local Durian. It taste sooooooooooooooooo good.

Yong Tau Foo from Pudu



'Pun Choy'

The famous Cendol from Melaka

The famous chicken rice balls from Melaka



Dim Sum









Japanese Ramen Noodles


Cakes

Mee Goreng Mamak from the Clubhouse

Western food from the Clubhouse

Nasi Campur from KLCC food court

Famous fried chicken from 'Wai Sek Kai' in Pudu

Fried Noodles from 'Wai Sek Kai' with lots of 'kerang'

Yau Char Kwai and other fried Chinese bread

Dumplings

Fresh Spring Rolls
After loading up all the food pictures I am feeling hungry now ;)

Cat, I went home for over 7 weeks so I don't think that is a lot of food over that period of time. By the way, those are the food I ate before I got sick :) :)

Zue, for me the white one taste better as it has a bitter sweet to it.

Lesley, I hope my joints won't be so painful once the weather get warmer. It is still very cold here.

Ummi, maaf..I ni malas sikit nak update.

Elsie, Thanks for stopping by and your comment. Where are you staying? Is there any special medicine which I can take to make the pain go away?

Yatie, bila you nak balik Malaysia? When you balik you can makan puas puas :)

hi Gertrude, i stay in Jakarta...i am not sure what will relieve the joint pains but chloroquine phosphate is said to help. the pain will stay on for up to 3 months or looooonger for those who are older. the good news is you are not likely to get it again as you will have the antibody for it..really hope the pain will go away soon.

ICook4Fun said...

Elsie, thanks for the info. I too hope the pain will go away soon. It's really painful especially when I get up in the morning.

Gert, I'm going to start making a list of food to eat when I'm back in KL in Oct. Unfortunately, only for 10 days. I think I better get to the gym more often to lose some before adding on. Hope you get better soon. The beautiful spring flowers should life your spirits.

so weirdla Gert..took sooo long for you to recover...why dont you do a blood test and ask the doctor to check if there's any viral infection...

btw...now you make me craving for durianla!!!!

Dawn said...

Gert,
These food pics just makes want to get back to M'sia soonner! how much I yearn for popiah!

Hope you feel better soon.

ICook4Fun said...

Charming, thank you. Yea I am so looking forward to spring. Don't worry about diet. Eat all the yummy food in KL and then diet after you go back to Australia :)

Laracroft, I pun tak tahu lah. Why it took so long to recover. Tahu lah I dah tua so it takes longer to heal :)

Dawn, thank you. Are you going back to Malaysia this year?
