Malaysia Fest 2009

I managed to make my way over to Malaysia Fest last weekend which is a general mash of Malaysian cuisine. I mean, let's face it, every time I go back to Malaysia it's either for the shopping or the food.

I've been pretty skeptical of Australian-Malaysian food after having tried the real deal. I'm not much of a food connoisseur, but Malaysian food in Sydney tends to be really crap, or just crap but expensive. So I wasn't too keen on emptying out my wallet that day even though I had an empty stomach. Despite my initial feelings, the food was pretty good. It was still expensive ($6 for a few sticks of chicken satay?) but at least it tasted good! We ended up going back for more despite the lines at each of the stalls.

There were some performances on their main stage and a small mosh pit formed. Seems like the majority of the crowd was around the 20-30 age. I don't understand and Malay aside from basic road and building signs that I've been able to figure out, so most of the music didn't make sense. It was amusing to hear a few western songs in a different language though.

All in all though, it was a very lazy way to spend a Sunday (as Sundays should traditionally be spent!). I managed to borrow a friend's 5D Mk II, a camera I've been considering purchasing for a while now, and had a fun play around with it. I think it's pretty much put the nail in the coffin for me as the difference in quality between my old camera and the 5D Mk II is light years apart.
