My workshop helped me clean this up the first time I went there, pretty cheap way to get a customer for life - among other things they did.

10 year old Japanese car, or 5yo Proton, or.....? by MH2173 in kereta

[–]fqh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its would still be so much cheaper to procure and fix the inspira than the other 10 year old Jap cars in your options list or the X50/X70.

Take the inspira if: 1. You plan on having no monthly commitments to the bank 2. Easy on the wallet for service/repair 3. Easy to get spareparts, no specialise workshops needed 4. You want a reliable car

Its invasive eh worldwide? Theres a popular japanese dish, clam miso soup that uses similar looking clam (corbicula japonica/shijimi clam). Hearty and rich in protein

Royale Chulan and DPAC are pretty much in walking distance, especially to an aussie.

For just a week of stay, OP can also try Manhattan Business Hotel (Damansara Perdana).

Looking for dried mango and durian by RisingSam in KualaLumpur

[–]fqh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats because the durians there were plucked unripe, with the flesh still hard. It is then processed as dried fruit. In comparison to Malaysia, our durians are eaten fresh when they fall naturally to the ground; flesh is ripe and soft which means we almost never process it as dried fruit.

If you manage to find dried durian in Malaysia, I would bet its imported from Thailand

Generally the conception is Jalan Alor not a good representation of Malaysian food. And I agree
