Kuih from outer space
This morning I had breakie with hubby. We went to one of the cafeterias at my workplace. Both hubby and I took this kuih. At first glance, it looked harmless enough. It was your ordinary spring roll. You know the type, one of those fried popiah thingy. So I took a bite and hubby asked what the filling was. And that’s when I thought it a bit funny. Already the thing was so oily, I had to us two serviettes to take out the oil. And then I discovered why it menyerap too much oil. The filling was pulut. Glutinous rice. Pulut! Was this some kind of traditional kuih that I never knew existed? Or what it some new-fangled cyber-era kuih? Has anyone tried this kind of kuih before, I wonder? But it was tasty. Really good.

Ok, this is gonna be a short one. I’ve got filing to do. I hate to see them papers all stacked on my tray. You know how it is….
