Idrus Abu Bakar's photo.It was a beautiful morning in June and I thought that I would write about this happening that was organized by our daughter Lin. She with her students from the University Malaya starts a new project call Kedai Jalanan [Street shop] starting on Saturday May 17, 2015 afternoon at Jalan Panggong where the Dapur Jalanan takes place every Sunday. It would be held once a week and at time at other location of the city. This is a charity project where used clothing and still in good condition are distributed free in a proper manner [all clean and hang and not just dump] each homeless are allows to take two only. This is a social science projects to give exposure to her students about the reality of life of the homeless and the urban poor in the city of Kuala Lumpur. At the same time help the homeless to get new clothing and others good for their daily uses. 

Here is a writeup by Blogger Wong Ee Lynn who also give a helping hand for the success  of the project. She was there too on that day.

Ikan Singgang....

Ikan Singgang is  one traditional Malay dish that is simple to do. Yet it is not only delicious but nutritious as well. Its one dish that you can find in the Malay world, perhaps call by other names, nevertheless it is still Ikan Singgang. It is the creation of our ancestors where fish have always been their main protein source; sort of the wisdom of the old. A wise creation indeed and because of it we still kept enjoying it  I have always love Ikan Singgang especially when Ikan Aya [Tuna fish] is use but it always taste as good even with other fish like Tenggiri or Kerisi. When making this simple dish one herb/spice that is a must is Lengkuas [Galangal] for without it the Singgang is not complete. The above image of Ikan Singgang is made with Ikan Tenggiri. Delicious as usual. Taken with steamy white rice and Budu [Anchovies sauce] or Sambal Belacan [Shrimp sauce] it is heaven already.  I posted that image on Facebook and below are two informative comments made there by two of

According to the data I had the sun would rise at Teluk Cempedak at 7.01am that morning. When we arrived at the beach there were already others there waiting for the sun to rise. I had brought my latest camera the Canon EOS M10 with me. It is a Mirrorless camera, the new new generation of the DSLR. It is much smaller than the DSLR and have interchangeable lens. As soon as I got there I walk along the beach and enjoy the freshness of the morning air. Yonder at the horizon I could see some light as the the sun makes it
