Now for some more touristy/locally-flavoured update. I've been meaning to put this up for a while now.
It's the middle of the Ramadan month now and the special thing for only this month is there are 'Food Bazaars' at certain spots around town. Plenty of people come to the bazaar, not just Malays/Muslims who buys food to break fast with but also Chinese/Indians as well because there they can find all sorts of local dishes at one place. At other times, they actually have to make an effort to hunt these dishes down.
Anyhow, this is one that is quite close to my place. It's one of the biggest around, with about 200 food stalls. I took pictures of those which I thought were the most interesting but if there's a demand, I can always pop over to get more pictures...

The crowd, this was at about 430 pm so the after-work crowd is not out in full-force yet
Ayam Golek or Rotating Chicken. Basically whole chickens which have been marinated with some herbs and spices cooked slowly over charcoal fire
Similar concept, different marinates and cuts.
Rice is a must for Malaysians. I have friends who would go through a lot of trouble just to look for a restaurant that serves any kind of rice dish whenever they travel overseas. Here you can see the various side-dishes to have with it. Typically it's 1 serving of meat (chicken, beef etc), vege and sometimes fish
Various drinks to break fast with.
Thirst quenching fruits like watermelons here are always popular...
Grilled fish. The stall sells different fishes that has been marinated and grilled together with their special sauce. The best in my opinion is the stingray. There's always a queue here...
Ever popular coconut drink
And a favourite - freshly pressed sugar cane juice
