Bollywood Nights

And another one bites the dust! Yet another friend is leaving KL. Our friend MBA is Cambodia bound where she'll be joining her boyfriend before starting business school in Singapore in January.

In an attempt to whittle down her possessions before her movers came on Saturday morning, she invited us all over on Friday to help her polish off her booze before the mooove with a pool party! We were diligent.

The party also included pizza, donuts, and CHOCOLATE! I couldn't believe the volume and the assortment of chocolate that MBA has accrued this past year. The most amazing piece??

Bacon Chocolate. Who has ever even heard of this? This particular bar was dark chocolate with apple bacon bits in it. Very interesting taste sensation. One could definitely taste the salt of the bacon, but I don't believe that I would have identified the chewy substance floating in the chocolate as bacon had I not read the label.


Mr. Happy was luckily wrapped up in conversation so he didn't notice the meaty sweets being passed around the table.

On Saturday, everyone gathered for the Baker's birthday take 2. We had dinner at Tamarind Hill. The atmosphere isn't as beautiful as Tamarind Springs but I rate the food higher. The menus are considerably different too.

The big winners of the night? The duck and lychee salad and the duck served in chocolate sauce. It turns out our group is a big fan of meat & chocolate products.

The staff brought the Baker a birthday treat of mango with sticky rice! Yum. This is by far my favorite Asian dessert. You should definitely try it if you have the chance.

We had to skip ordering additional desserts because we all had tickets to see the Merchants of Bollywood. Some of us dressed in our Indian finest.

Mr. Happy worried he’d nod off during the performance so he ordered a teh tarik. He was given it in the traditional Malay way. When a drink is ordered “to go” you get it in a plastic bag! Cheaper than a cup!

This was a very entertaining play. They had HUGE dance numbers set to Bollywood music.

The story was pretty lame, but we all had a lot of fun.

Tonight…Mr. Harry Potter!
