This online shoebox contains random pictures, notes, whatever. I've been a professional writer-photographer for so many years now. It's a damn good excuse to carry a camera around.

Nasi Lemak! That's rice boiled in coconut cream, and served with deep-fried chicken wings, stir-
fried veggies, roasted fish cake, peanuts, dried anchovies, Singaporean love (that's not a lot) and
plenty of chili:

Btw, nasi means "rice", and lemak means "fat". Mmmmm....

Warung Kopi Indra is a true blue-collar hangout for everyday working Tarakans. As the photo
suggests, you don't need to buy kopi susu to sit at a table here.

But those who do order coffee here will be surprised at how good it is. It's sock-brewed, mixed
with condensed milk, and is totally delicious.

And the roti kaya - homemade bread topped with margarine and traditional kaya spread - is to
die for!
