Exploring for Food

After 6pm, the streets of Chinatown seemed to turn all cold - shops were closed, traffic and human traffic were rare, except for a couple of tourists like ourselves. Undeterred, we asked the local guard on the nearest place we could find dinner. And we were directed a rather odd route. We had to cut through a hotel to get to our destination!

We found our dinner place not too far from the hotel. It was a dark street with two rows of shophouses flanking a road, selling several types of food. We finally settled for nasi lemak at one of the stalls, having our dinner on makeshift tables and chairs, right beside the road. I guess it must be quite an experience for the Canadian students with us, since hygiene seemed rather lacking there. But we trusted the many locals who were eating there as well, and gulped down our food. The food was just okay, but when we were hungry and had no other choice, we could live with it.
