Had a very nice dinner with hanaan and her father. Took them to Gombak and treated to tom yam sotong, kailan ikan masin, ayam gajus, udang tepung and siakap masam manis... yummy. I was afraid that the tom yam would be a bit too spicy for him (he is after all, a kenyan living in dubai - how much chili can he take?). But tengok, tengok, dengan malunya, i was the one who starting sweating first! It was quite pedas, and pekat but very nice.
Had a very good discussion with him - he's an intelligent man, with lots of experience. Learned tonight about the origins of coffee. Apparently, coffee is the sixth most popular drink in the world - #1 is tea, then milk, then canned soda drinks, then beer (!!), then coffee. He also gave me some advice about family and how to manage my children some day, by using how he has brought hanaan up as an example. Just learned so much tonight, i almost feel embarassed that the dinner only cost RM70++ for 3 people! Should have taken him to a 5-star hotel! :) Hope to be able to meet him again someday.
