Katie Sokoler

Katie Sokoler cut out human forms from black paper.

She taped them onto the walls and sidewalks around Brooklyn

She then waited for people to walk by and took a picture at the exact moment they matched up with the shadow.

satay

Introducing our iconic food - Satay! Unlike the rojak which doesn't go down with foreigners, the Satay is a hot favourite among my foreign friends.
Think stick-skewered (kebab) marinated meat strips barbequed over a charcoal fire grill and dipped in a spicy peanut sauce.

The marinated meat - chicken(ayam) RM0.60 kambing(mutton) RM0.70 beef(daging) Rm0.60 and rice squares(ketupat) Rm1.oo

The sticks of satay are barbequed over a charcoal fire grill
