Foodie Weekend!

This past weekend, we had an opportunity to spend a couple of days in the city. Kuala Lumpur, is the capital of Malaysia and is a really fun city - beautiful buildings, and amazing food! Since not all of you reading this blog has been to Malaysia, I thought I share some pictures with you to show you the food paradise I live in!

We ordered this CARNIVORE PLATTER....it was a HUGE platter and it took the three of us quite a while to work at it. Even then, we ended up packing half of it back to our room!
They also gave us this cute apron to wear while we dug into those yummy sticky ribs!
These pictures are from the food court at a mall - it has the most amazing collection of hawker food or street food. The choices are amazing. It was almost a torture to have to choose one!  We had breakfast both mornings at this food court - I feel so spoiled!
This is from another mall, and it is a seafood bar serving up fresh oysters. I have not seen this before, I checked the menu and it was super pricey. Its a good thing I don't enjoy fresh oysters.
This is not in the city, but 5 minutes from our home. Its called Hawker's Delight. Once again, it has an amazing selection to choose from - chicken rice, noodles of all kinds and sorts, dim sum, toast and sausages, curry, etc. How do I choose, how do I choose???
We ordered this briyani rice with mutton curry and we paid the hefty price of US$3.00 or for my Kenyan friends, it was KSH 240!
This noodles comes in a nice thick tasty gravy with chicken and shrimps and cost the same as the rice.

 Now you understand why I call Malaysia a food paradise! I have travelled to quite a few places and wherever I go, I enjoy the food in that country - whether it was in the rainforest of the Congo, Kenya, Singapore, Thailand, Macau or America. However, whenever I return from my trips, I am always ready to enjoy the food Malaysia has to offer. I guess one of the main reason I appreciate Malaysian food is because it is so affordable and that we have so much variety.

I hope this post will inspire my non-Malaysian friends to visit me soon and for my fellow Malaysians - may we continue to enjoy our food paradise!!!

Many of my aunts, uncles and cousins consider me to be American and westernized since I've been away from Malaysia for so long, but you can't take the food culture out of the former Malaysian! I'm getting hungry already! I'm also very blessed with a wife, although Caucasian, loves Malaysian food! Even durian!

Anyways, I want you to know that I appreciate the comments- tells me someone is reading what I am writing - I wonder sometimes!! Ok, two evenings ago I had another invite to join an evangelist to Goma, also in DRC. They are doing a crusade there- I cannot tell you how much I want to join them but I can't - not this time anyways. We are in the midst of preparing to return to Malaysia for two months to reconnect with churches and friends who supports our work here and also to give our report. We are also trusting God to connect with more people and churches who are interested in our work here. We need to raise so much more to empower and release more laborers to a ripen harvest in AFrica. I am so overwhelm wit...

ONE YEAR LATER!!! Yes, it's one year later since our return to Malaysia and Max made it and is still with us :-) I cannot believe that it was a year ago since I posted my last entry, and I am finding it even more amazing that we have actually been "home" for a little over a year! I can say that life in Malaysia has been full of suprises and is fast and furious. I was inspired to blog again when I was going through our digital photos and doing some digital decluttering. I was amazed by how much has happened in just a year. So, over the next few days, I am hoping to get you all caught up withn all that has happened the last 12 months and I will try to post as many pictures as I can.....I am not very patient waiting for pictures to upload :-) Max - survived the 24 hour journey and seems to have adapted pretty good to Malaysian life. We are so glad we brought him with us! Reunited with their youngest cousins ... Annabelle and Isaac. I think they will featured q...

The Secrets of a Pastor's Marriage

Recently I posted a picture of myself and a beautiful bouquet of flowers,,,,It was one of those special moments in our marriage. I had been feeling pressured with an unending to do list and preparing for a missions trip. I was sharing with Tony how stressed I was before leaving to have a quick dinner with Vickie. When I returned home, Tony suprised me with this beautiful bouquet. He just wanted to bless and encourage me.  Yes, he's sweet and thoughtful and let me just put it out there once and for all, HE IS ALL MINE :) I was surprised by the number of people who liked the post. I suppose many are "curious" what a pastor's marriage look like...is it perfect? Is it easier because both of us are pastors? I thought I share a few pictures and thoughts on the subject.   Firstly, our marriage is not perfect - it's just like yours - there are always up and downs, the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, the sweet and sour! In many ways, a ministers...
