We went to Chiang Mai Recipe Corner to try out the famous dish, mango with sticky rice, also known as Khao Niaow Ma Muang. The rice is coloured a blue/grey tint and there is a small portion of milk to pour on the mango. Well, it is absolutely delicious!

It's worth noting that Chiang Mai Recipe Corner is a non-halal restaurant mainly targeting Chinese customers.

Chiang Mai Recipe Corner has both indoor and outdoor seating

I'm excited to go back and try other items on the menu, but especially for my new favourite dish, mango with sticky rice!

Views of Kuantan taken from The Zenith Hotel

Kuantan is a small town on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It has been my home for 7 years. Following is a series of photos of my adopted hometown, most of them taken from the very top of The Zenith Hotel.

East Coast Mall describes itself as 'the most happening place' in Kuantan, which at least holds true from Fridays to Sundays when people from the northern state of Terengganu come down to Kuantan for the weekend. The heavily Muslim state of Terengganu hold their weekend on Friday and Saturday. East Coast Mall is here visible from the gym at The Zenith Hotel

As it looks over Kuantan, The Zenith Hotel illuminates in colours of purple, red, green and blue every night

Behind the mosque lies SK Bukit Sekilau. The open ground at the front left is being prepared for a Ramadan Bazaar. The Muslim fasting month begins on 10th July
