KL voluteering day 8, 9 & 10

Another few days volunteering. I got taken to a new market and breakfast spot and we continued our tradition of eating too many desserts. At a vegetable market Lili asked me if I wanted to buy any fruit or veg that I hadn't tried yet. I handed her what turned out to be a bitter melon (not a sweet melon, more like a squash) and was VERY bitter, even when expertly cooked up by Popo with lots of garlic and soy 😅
One evening the two retired sisters who live next door, knocked saying the durian man was parked down the street, and that he sells very good, very cheap durian. Me and Lili followed these two little old ladies down the street with Popo in tow, bought some durian and sat round eating it. It wasn't that good. Was actually worse than the first time I tried it, more sour! I think one of the neighbour ladies had dementia, so she kept asking me the same questions (which I didn't mind at all), but then she kept getting me to try the durian even though I said I had already 🤣
Another evening I found some halloumi in a shop, which is one of the foods I've been missing a lot. Was £5 for a little block! But was so worth it, I cooked it up along with something resembling tabbouleh and an aubergine stew.
I could stay here with Lili and Popo forever, and did consider staying an extra week before mum get's here, but think I should get back in the swing of travelling, don't want to get too comfortable. Plus there's some beautiful looking islands I want to go visit.
On my final night, Popo cooked us up some delicious noodles and then we went for one final dessert ❤️Read more
