Lempeng is banana/sweet potato pancake and no place makes it like Haslam!! Gawd.. i love lempeng.. sometimes i even traverse hell's jam, just to get my fix, i do !



not only does haslam do excellent lempeng...

it has this KILLER cincalok... and,

killer STINKO Tempoyak ! Tempoyak, a Sumatran dish using fermented DURIAN, is a force to be
reckoned with i tell ya. Some days, when iv had
one-too-many chinese meals, I could just KILL
for ulam tempoyak... i swear.
Today was one of those days ;P

i also like the FLAYED ikan bilis... coz it's more shear and 'crunch worthy'...
