It was a very colonial affair and Ian felt right at home. It was indeed very civilized and mostly tasty - but even after 5+ years of living in Britain I still have serious doubts regarding the sandwich tastes of the Brits. Egg and mayo on Wonder Bread is not classy, no matter how much you try and dress it up. And further, eating dainty finger sandwiches with all the crusts trimmed off as if the patrons were all 4 years old and then eating said sandwich for a fork and knife is also remarkably silly. I have nothing to say against the quality of the tea, croissants or scones, full marks. At the weekends they serve a Malaysia High Tea which is served in the same fashion but instead with Asian savouries like spring rolls and Thai crab cakes. We'll be back.
We are booked in to look at several flats today in Bagsar which is frequently referred to as an 'ex-pat ghetto.' It is superb area with excellent restaurants and shopping but still has a nice residential feel despite being in the city. Hoping for sucess and curious to see what Malaysian estate agents are like, I suspect as useless as everywhere else in the world.
Also, we saw our first urban monkey yesterday.
