Date: 2nd July 2010
Venue: First World Plaza, Genting Highlands
Country: Malaysia
Cuisine: Asian
Still feeling disappointed over the dinner, we walked around the First World Plaza to look for some snacks to brighten our mood.
Single Scoop - Junior (RM6.50 / US$2.05)
Well, call me a froggie in the well, this was the first time I tasted Baskin Robbins ice cream even though I had passed by the ice cream counters numerous time. Spoilt by the choices available, we decided to go for a single scoop of the flavour of the month - Caramel Chocolate Malt. All I can say was that it definitely helped to curb my cravings for B&J ice cream.

Steamed Corn Kernels (RM4.00 / US$1.25)
While walking around, we saw people eating steamed corn kernels which we thought it looked pretty good and decided to buy a portion to try out. Best to be eaten when hot, the simple use of seasoning such as margarine and salt brought out the sweetness of the corn kernels. Simple comfort food in the cold weather of Genting made you unable to stop digging into the cup and finished the corn kernels.
Tip: When buying steamed corn kernels at the rest-stop on our way back to Singapore, we spotted that pandan leaves were added when steaming the corn to give it an extra fragance.

Fruit Rojak (RM6.50 / US$2.05)
Rojak is the malay word for mixed and I would think that this dish is the distant cousin of salad as the method of preparation is very similar. While waiting for our order of steamed corn kernels was being prepared, mum being a rojak lover couldn't resist the temptation to order a portion of the rojak as our late night snack.
Different from the version we get here in Singapore which normally contains you-tiao and tao-pok, this version was made up of only fruits and vegetables fruits such as guava, green mango, cucumber, pineapple and starfruit mixed in slightly spicy shrimp paste and sesame seeds. Mum loved it so much that she cleaned out the cup that was used to serve the rojak. Watch your cholesterol level, mum!
