City Square Mall Johor Bahru

Went down to City Square Mall in Johor Bahru last Saturday; which was also the first day of fasting month for the Muslims in Malaysia. The mall was decorating its atrium area for the Hari Raya festive sale. The few camels that were on display were an attraction; many people took the opportunity to take photos with these camel figurines.

City Square Mall is currently undergoing major renovation. Certain areas are opened for business; and hopefully more stores will be opening soon for this Hari Raya festive sale. I will visit this mall again in early August to see whether I can buy some Malay cookies and food at their Hari Raya promotion sale.

Nasi Lemak in Johor Bahru

Nasi Lemak is a popular food and is commonly available in many restaurants and food outlets in Malaysia and Singapore. Each time when I stayed in a hotel in Malaysia, I can definitely find Nasi Lemak being served as one of the dish available on the breakfast table.

I am not a big fan of nasi lemak as this food is very high in cholesterol; but it is definitely a delicious meal to have especially when I am hungry. In the hotel, nasi lemak is normally served with anchovies, peanuts, egg, and the red hot chilli sauce. When you eat this food that are sold in food stalls, there are more variety of side dish you can add such as fried chicken, fried fish cake, long beans, cabbage, fried fish, achar ( pickled vegetables ), etc. 

Anyway, here is one of the packet of nasi lemak which I have ordered for a quick lunch recently. My preference is that the rice should have a light coconut and pandan flavor; and the chilli should not be too overwhelming hot and spicy.
