Heritage walk in KL


Weather sunny then wet. We caught another train to Pani Seni for our free heritage walk. Absolutely excellent. We had to wear a headscarf and long coat to walk around the Mosque, Masjid Jemak and we learnt about Islam, which means 'Peace'. Went through Indian money lenders area, and visited a Chettinad food restaurant - all food fresh ingredients, and served on a bannana leaf. This is food from South India and you eat it with your fingers. We went to a chinese Taoist temple, and it was explained to us that the temple's purpose is mainly for teaching, money from donations are given to poor people as a bursary for education for those poor people and they have to apply for it every year. After the heritage walk we spent time looking around Central Market, which was the old wet market in years gone by, We had ginger chicken with rice and mum had seafood goreng, from the 'Little Wok'. Tomorrow our 'Mum' is back, but we did manage with not too many difficulties. A wonderful day.
