I thought I’d be able to blog easily while on vacation in London.I was so wrong.
Not having access to the internet has been utter misery, most of all because I am unable to blog. Bald Eagle isn’t complaining, as he is now able to see more of me!
Going to London is like going home. Hearing the words “Mind The Gap” is equivalent to a “Welcome Home” to us. 🙂

As I read The Times this morning, I came across an article on Malaysian cuisine. I read on and spotted my friend, Adly’s name in that article. Adly – you’re famous now! 🙂 It’s a great article, and hopefully, Londoners will be tempted by the wonderful descriptions and gorgeous pictures of Malaysian food and make a trip to Malaysia to sample our diverse cuisine. Sounds like a sales pitch? Well, who wouldn’t be proud of our local cuisine? Malaysian food rocks.

My friend in Norway, Gard Karlsen, has been constantly prodding me to work on a Google Map which shows the location of the eating establishments which I have been blogging about. Well, his nagging has paid off! This is the first version of the A Whiff Of Lemongrass Food Tour. It is not intended to provide directions to the location, but it will be useful if you’re looking for food in a certain area. Details of the restaurant and location can be found when you click on the flag. This map will also be included on the sidebar for easy reference.

Hi there, Zitrongrassie! Was wondering when you’d blog from abroad.
Remember the blood pies, rabiit stew and whatnot… ^_^
Enjoy yr holiday dearie! In fact, one reckons you shld take a blog holiday…
Remember to stuff yr face with roast beef and yorkshire puddings, lots of custard, cream teas with scones, roast duck from bayswater, GBK burgers, crepes from Hampstead Heath and etcera etcera just like how the King would say in the King and I.
Hi Meena. Thanks for posting the map…I guess I will have to try it now while I’m in KL. Last night we ended up back at Precious at Central Market where you took us the last time and we even had some top hats 🙂 Hope you are having a great time in London and sorry we missed each other 🙂

Sista, take a break from blogging ok? Enjoy your holiday and forget-me-not when you savour the roasted duck!
Hey woman, hv fun!! But u always do anyway. 😀 Looks like this time u have to fit in food ‘testing’ on top of all that shopping! Hmm, maybe then u’ll come back with 18 bags instead of 20. 😉
Oh yes, i MISS “mind the gap”. Heck, I miss the smell of the air in the undergound, especially when a train is coming in. The Jubilee line, which is deeper underground has the best breeze!!!
Miss London…..
the gurls were right, take a complete break and update us only when’re back 😀 happy holiday!
Wahhh WIFI cannot find meh? 😉
Better tell me where I can get free one otherwise very susah oh 😉
hahaha
Hope you’re having fun! AND DON’T FORGET SELFRIDGES SALT BEEF! Can’t wait!

All the festival menus are up…..
Looks likes all 3 KL Hilton restaurants are pretty pricy…but the menu listed probably will make me die once I am finished with them….Sigh….so little money, so many choices….
*must resist Lafite’s offer* (that is one hell of a price)
Any food bloggers want to divide and conquer the MIGF this year.
Free wifi at chez msiagirl so don’t worry, though I think you will be too busy to bloglah! Hope you are having plenty of good craic and get in touch with what you want to do while you are here. xx
no wonder..i was waiting for new post … have a fab time in London!
Enjoy your holiday! I love London! Can’t wait to hear all about your stories!
btw, out of curiosity since I’m planning a similar trip next year, how much was your airfare? Whatever I’ve been quoted has been horrendously high!
[still in “i hate you” mode]…harumph….
while minding the gap, make sure you mind your wallet…my mother’s been picked twice, my sis once, and i almost got picked too, luckily so fat, so not so easy to whip out my wallet from front jeans pocket. felt kinda sexy though, as the perpetrators were young girls. youth of today. tsk.
What happened to my earlier comment??? I was saying that if you were to blog, how about a live feed of you feasting on roast duck! hee hee…
How’s London so far? Or have you been moving around the British Isles by now, leaving languishing Englishmen in clamour for your lemongrass scent? 😛
But anyway, stop blogging and coming online… enjoy your trip to the fullest! The Internet will still be around when you come back! LOL
