Earleaf acacia
SKYWATCH FROM MY BALCONY
The sky looks like the sea today
Bahay Kubo
Bahay Kubo or nipa hut is an icon of Filipino culture. "Bahay" means house in Filipino and "kubo" means cube. In Malaysia, these huts are popular around beaches and resorts.
Dinner — Buta No Kakuni
MALAYSIAN STREET FOOD
Claypot rice
Think Malaysian paella! Essentially, it is just rice cooked in a claypot with ingredients like Chinese sausage, chicken/pork and/or salted fish, resulting in a crispy crust at the bottom.

ReplyDeletePhotos taken in 2002 and the place is amazing:) Happy new week:)
ReplyDeleteThat first collage is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your photos, shame about that resort.
ReplyDeleteThe Pagoda flower and Earleaf Acacia are so beautiful. Your skywatch is always so special!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day, Veronica!
Oh I love the photo's of the abandoned ski resort!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of photos. I really love the ski resort in the snow and that Pagoda flower is new to me -- it's a stunner. Happy day, Veronica!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I love the photo that the sky resembles the sea. I thought it was the sea at first. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteI want to taste some of those claypot rice!!
ReplyDeleteI love all them, the flowers, the skywatch it is beautiful. Excellent photos.
ReplyDeleteI"m loving the food! Pork is one of my favourites, we mostly have it roasted with crackling and I'll use the leftovers in my asian style noodle soup.
ReplyDeleteLove the interesting photos you shared, always a great story behind them...
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Acacia is a beautiful flower with many meanings also esoteric.
ReplyDeleteThe skywatch is amazing.
I would like to taste the Malaysian paella: looks delicious.
The nipa hut really does have a fun beach vibe. It would provide the perfect shaded place to hang out, and enjoy a fun and relaxing day at the beach!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing the food where you live. It looks delicious.I would like to browse and see all the street food. That is a charming hut, but the roof doesn't look too sturdy to me. The yellow flowering bush is lovely, as well as the Pagoda flower. That one looks like Autumn. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.

Beautiful photos as always lovely scenery too and that lovely food I want some lol ...again :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a scenictastic week 👍
As always, your food photos are making me hungry!
ReplyDeleteJust abandoned? Someone should make a horror movie there. That would make a great setting.
ReplyDeleteDearest Veronica,
ReplyDeleteAlways so nice to be fed with images from flowers, foods and things that both of us have known for several years... Terima kasih banyak!
As for the abandoned ski resort in South Korea, what a pity and also quite a loss on investment.
When you took the photo, the clock was standing still and now it even looks rusted...
Hugs,
Mariette
That clay pot rice looked delicious!! Oh how sad about the ski resort! It must have been beautiful during its "heyday" so to speak. I don't like when things like this close and then stay empty forever. I like buildings to be re-purposed if at all possible. If those buildings and ski lift chairs could talk! What stories they would tell!
ReplyDeletebetty
familier with those flower...in my village i ever see them
ReplyDeleteclaypot rice looks so yummy
Oh dear such nice historical pictures!thanx for sharing!Ilike to know everything about Korea north and south and all the asian countries
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful and i think the people are fantastic!
Nice food too Nammmmm! :))))
I always enjoy your photos and seeing life from another part of our world! The flowers are beautiful; the food looks amazing, and what a sad loss of such a once-fabulous resort! Wishing you a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI had claypot rice in Vietnam and it was delicious. I am quite sure that the Malayan version is equally appealing. The abandoned ski resort will slowly return to nature unless some entrepreneur figures it can be revived.
ReplyDeleteThe lovely sky really is a sea of sorts. Sometimes, with all the Covid restrictions, it literally feels as if time is standing still and we’re stuck in this moment together.
ReplyDeleteA lovely potpourri.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2022/01/seen-on-blue-ridge-parkway.html
Cool food ❤
ReplyDeleteAn amazing series of photos Veronica. I'm sorry, I thought I had already added a comment here but when I am on my iPad (on my laptop now) my comments sometimes don't make it through.
ReplyDeleteWoW! I LOVE your gallimaufry! I think the most interesting is the ski resort. We have some old ghost towns in our area and it is interesting to see there are "new" ghost towns in other areas of the world. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeletedear all your photos are amazing! So good quality:) You put all your heart in those;) follow:) hope U follow back:)
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad that the ski resort was left abandoned. What a great variety of photos!
ReplyDeletethe view from your balcony is always GORGEOUS!! a really nice gallimaufry of images, i think i would like the rice cooked in the clay pot!!
ReplyDeleteHaha , is it always 20minutes past 10 in your world? very funny. I love that you are scanning in your older travel photos, I keep thinking I will do that. With your newer collection, I never know if I best love the skies, the flowers, or the food. I think I'll go with the food today, because I'm hungry and I wish I had some of yours so I wouldn't have to get up from my chair and go cook :>)
ReplyDeleteSad to see the abandoned resort. The sky is amazing and looks like waves rolling in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post, Veronica! Love the tower with that big clock. The picture of that typical food are also beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week :-)
Me encanto la flor de pagoda y la paella malaya. Que pena lo de la estación de esquí.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Veronica. The Claypot Rice looks like a delicious dish. It's really sad about the resort being deserted and abandoned for so long. What a waste! The time on your photo and the others is indeed uncanny. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteDelectable Malay food and such stunning travel pictures, dear Vero.
ReplyDeleteHugs. Stay fabulous my friend.
What a shame the ski resort had to close. Looks like a good opportunity for a budding entrepreneur to have another go with that lovely building.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks yum 😁! And I like the "bahay kubo" also 😃!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo mix. It brings mom back to the times she spent in that part of the world. She never went to that creepy ski resort in Korea, though. She did usually go shopping and went to North Korea in the DMZ zone once.
ReplyDeleteThat Pagoda flower is gorgeous! Lovely collage to say how you live your life without saying a word. Love it.

Such great photos! The pagoda flower is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe pagoda flower is amazingly beautiful, Veronica. That now abandoned ski resort was interesting to see and I wondered what will become of the buildings. Did you also go skiing there with your family? The clay pots looked good.
ReplyDeleteVeronica - love the flowers. And what a tragic story about the bankrupt ski resort!
ReplyDeleteDear Veronica,
ReplyDeleteBahay Kubo is wonderful and exciting places - I like it and it was so exotic for me,
Greetings
Kirsi
