So in my goal to finally see Angkor Wat, i convinced my cousin Kirbe and officemate Cherry to join me in a semi-backpacking trip across South East Asia. The entire trip lasted for four days since Kirbe had to get back right after Holy Week for their med school's immersion trip and Cherry and I needed to rush some design projects right after Holy Week.
First stop was Kuala Lumpur, where we stayed for two nights and one day. We arrived at around 1:00 am since our flight was at around 8:00pm. Tired and a bit dizzy with the new smell (LOL), we made our way to the hotel. We had beds reserved at My Hotel and it was funny seeing people's reaction when we asked for directions: "Do you know where we can find My Hotel?"
We were too hungry to sleep so we decided to leave our stuff in the hotel and searched for something to eat. Since it was around 2 or 3am, there were no open malls and food junctions, save for some street food carts. Normally we wouldn't even dare go near these places but since were so hungry, and the vendors were really friendly, we gave it a try.
cheeseburger of gold
Not a bad decision after all. Manong "My friend" (we called our food vendor that) served the best watermelon and orange juice- they tasted really good, they were even incomparable to those served in pretentiously expensive restaurants here in Manila. The chicken cheeseburger was kinda weird but in a good, weird way. It tasted of sweet onions, oyster sauce, and that kind of cheese you'd use for philly steak sandwiches. After a good midnight snack, we settled in to get a quick shut-eye before that day's adventure. Too bad, my clumsy self reserved a room for May 28 and not March, so i had to pay for a new room with a Queen Size Bed. definitely my miss. =))
