Amazingly, due to the lack of alcohol last night, I wake up feeling refreshed - which made a nice change, as I have been caning it (relatively speaking) recently so I need to curb it a little bit otherwise I’ll be miserable. I am having lunch with Keith and we head into Cheras and go to this really local Chinese place called Cheras Flat Woo Pin Head Fish Noodles for some fish curry – and it was delicious. I don't think there are too many Western visitors to this place, and unless you know someone that knows it exists, you'd miss out: there is no way you'd just stumble across it as a traveller - and certainly not as a tourist. After lunch we head to Bandar Tasik Selatan – a park in Cheras area that, like so many other parks here in KL, is deserted and probably very under-used. Most inhabitants prefer the cooling air-conditioned shopping malls to the lovely warm outdoors.
OK, it's effing hot and humid, and we walk around the park in the searing heat and realise that it’s actually huge – did we turn back and forget the exercise, or do we carry on and sweat to death?
We carried on and did the full circuit and the thought of rewarding ourselves afterwards with an ice cold drink kept us going. Nearby there's this place called Station One, so we head there. The menu consisted pretty much of smoothies, teas and ice drinks made with every combination of fruit possible... and (weirdly) Strongbow cider. I guess that's a fruit drink of sorts, and I was very tempted - however, I settled on an apple and strawberry fruit smoothie instead and felt virtuous.
