A relaxing weekend

I had a wonderful lunch at Passions of Kerala last Saturday and the settings were just authentic for the Indian cuisine offered.
Banana leaves were set out as plates for us to eat off.
Then the vegetarian dishes were served.. And if you're a first timer to the banana leaf meal, it's good to note that all the dishes and rice can be refilled buffet style!

Rice was poured on and the accompanying light dhall curry and pappadam was served.

After that I met up with my buddy Ben who's just gotten back from Russia on summer vacation from his medical studies.So we visited Sunset Bistro, which is located along a beautiful patch of Penang's beaches, for some beers with my laptop for checking out his travel log and a cigar he'd brought back from his trips around Europe.

It was only 4p.m. and the place was teeming with a bustling crowd of sun-loving revellers.
Sadly, that night, my grandad was admitted to the hospital due to constipation and a slight infection and luckily everything turned out well on Sunday afternoon. So all's well that ends well.

Cheers!
