Greetings from the cultural melting pot that is Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia! We're going to have a fun contest in this blog and see if anyone can guess what Jeremy is holding in the photo below (and the two below that).

This replica took 300,000 Legos and four people working for 30 straight days to make. (Too much time on their hands, perhaps??)

Mahalabia - rose-flavored custard. Kunafa - We don't actually know what it was, nor did the exceptionally nice manager (in English, anyway). But it was really good, something resembling fried pumpkin and soft cheese.

Bizarre Foods - Malaysia

What is it?
Its definitely lung of some sort. I am gagging as I write this. Are the potato chips to help you swallow without holding your breath? Hope the remainder of your voyage is safe. Enjoy!!

It is some variation of the Ais (Ice) Kacang. Looks like it has ice-cream, shaved ice, corn flakes and big red beans. I won it. I won the contest. Paypal accepted. Now you should go for the durian. This is the fruit that brought Andrew Zimmern to his knees. He can drown anything except the durian and he admitted this to Jay Leno in an NBC Tonight Show.

Jeremy's weird food
I can't even begin to imagine what he's eating. Some kind of meat custard? Ugh, it turns my stomach just thinking about it lol.

A little disconcenrting.
Great photos. I've heard about KL. It's a little disconcenting to realise that in quite a few ways, North America is lagging behind Asia. Just be careful and keep the great photos and blog coming and thanks for the note, Jeremy. I would have paid money to have watched Jeremy take that little 'walk.' hugs, Joe
