35 Years On

This week I am away in Kuala Lumpur - a town that I first visited 35 years ago. Doesn't time fly when you’re having fun ;-)

And I have just finished a fantastic Dim Sum lunch at the hotel that we used to work out of all those years ago. It was called the Merlin then but it's the Concorde now - on Jalan Sultan Ismail. Of course the place has changed a lot - but still recognisable. I wonder what has happened to the old PPK crew?

You might know Dim Sum as Yum Cha - how about some steamed jade crystal dumpling, deep fried phoenix prawns, bean curd roll, and mango custard pudding. No wonder it's called yum. Just fantastic.

And for some reason the KL streets are choc-a-bloc today but not a big ugly 4wd to be seen. How refreshing. But there is a bit of wealth about - just spent 10 minutes gawking at one of these - outside the Concorde.
