speechless moments

Sometimes, I come across some questions from people who do not know Malaysia well, but implied the less developped image of Malaysia.

For example, a guy once asked me, what kind of anaesthetic techniques do the Malaysian doctors use? I said, the same inhalational agents and ventilators. Then he stopped asking. I was thinking, did he expect me to say: we use chloroform and no patients monitoring in an unhygiene condition, like many would think how a developing country should be?

Perhaps people who are sceptical about Malaysian healthcare system, should make a short trip to observe for their own eyes. I have to admit that lots to be improved, but certainly it is more than sufficient to ensure the safety of the patients.

Malaysian restaurant in Vevey, Switzerland

Since today is my dearie's birthday, we decided to go to a Malaysian restaurant in Vevey, a city about 15 mins away from Lausanne.

This resto is opened by Chinese Malaysian from Malacca, not sure how long they have been there but certainly worth a try.

I had a malaisian fried noodles, which taste more like fried mee in chinese shops back home, without the pork fat. Then we had chicken curry, mixed vegetables, wantan soup and rice. Lastly, we shared a fried ice cream and tea infusion.

It was surprisingly crowded in the restaurant, but remains quite cozy. The staffs are extremely friendly and smiling all the time. Guess the business is going well.

Heard that the owner of the resto will eventually sell it off and return to Malaysia. This is what chinese have in their mind: return home with prosperity. If they will live better this way, it is a wise choice.
