Working in Malaysia - Experiencing the cuisine

I was sent there to support the new project. In Kuala Lumpur I met a very motivated team of engineers and it is a wonderful experience to work together with them. Unfortunately I haven't got a photo of all of them, here you see Maryati and Hasni - our telecommunications engineers - together with Serena - the Executive Secretary and soul of our K.L. office.

I can remember times when I was on travel and felt alone - never in K.L. Serena and her husband Calvin spent all their weekend time with me and I did really enjoy it.
They are Chinese and here we could enjoy the homemade Chinese cuisine - me, my colleague Peter, Serena, Calvin and Serena's friend Wendy. Wendy's husband Jimmy took the photo, he's very interested in the German soccer league - more than me... surprise, surprise.

A typical Malaysian-Chinese speciality is called "Steamboat" - a kind of a Chinese fondue. Fish, seafood and vegetables are cooked in a chicken broth or Tom Yam soup inside a pot on the table. Served with crabs and Asian side-dishes it is a very special experience...

Something typical for Malaysian cuisine is also Hawker's Food. A variety of Chinese, Malaysian and other Asian food is served from small foodstalls next to the street. It is affordable and very tasty.
This fruit is called Durian. It isn't easy to open it and after opening it smells quite unpleasant. But try to overcome the smell and taste the soft fruit inside - it's very sweet and you will know why it is called the queen of fruits.

These pictures are here to show that we did more than eating in K.L. Jeanni is responsible to keep control on the finances in the Asia Pacific region.
On the other side you see me together with Ralf-Peter from our system's factory and Gerald, our project manager in K.L. during the setup of the local production and assembling factory in K.L.
