印尼特色糕点 Sri Gandus (Indonesian dessert) @ Sri Gandus stall at KL Chow Kit, Jalan Raja Bot

@ Sri Gandus Apam Balek stall at KL Chow Kit (click here to Google Map)
Jalan Raja Bot, Chow Kit, 50300 Kuala Lumpur
GPS Location: 3°09'55.7"N 101°41'58.1"E
印尼特色糕点 Sri Gandus (Indonesian dessert) rm$2 for 5pcs 👍👍😋 😋 
Budget: MYR$2
Cuisine: Indonesian dessert (Kueh)
Highlights: freshly made
Public Transport: Chow Kit Monorail (5 minutes)
Thoughts: Mr Ronishah (a 2nd generation Indonesian Malaysian), runs the "Sri Gandus Apam Balek stall" at Chow Kit, selling the Indonesian desserts/pancake called Sri Gandus and Apam Balek. Mr Ronishah, in the early 30s has been helping his father (from Indonesia) since 11 and is now taken over the business from his father.
Sri Gandus is a thick pancake with fillings of red beans, pineapple, coconut, or kaya (offered here); I have not see this dessert before. The kaya filling and pineapple fillings were very appetizing. And cost only $0.40/pc (5 for rm$2). 
Rating: 7 / 10 👍👍😋😋

扣肉椰漿饭 Braised Pork Belly Nasi Lemak @ Tasts Legendary Nasi Lemak at KL Chow Kit Market

04.01.2017 Breakfast
@ Taste Legendary Nasi Lemak at Chow Kit Market KL
Jalan Raja Bot, Chow Kit, 50300 Kuala Lumpur
扣肉椰漿饭 Braised pork belly Nasi Lemak $6.30
奶茶 Teh C $1.70
Thoughts: I have no idea on the Stall name but the GPS is (N 03 09.900, E 101 41.963) and is located at the heart of one of the most notorious place in KL which is Chow Kit. Fire broke out at the Chow Kit market on October 2015, it destroyed 2 blocks of the dry market, the iconic areas of the Chow Kit Market for street photographers. I have never visited Chow Kit since the fire, today I found the destroyed areas were already sealed off. Luckily there are parts of the photogenic areas reminiscent of the old KL still exist. And I can still find the pork belly Nasi Lemak! 
The choices are Kangkung, curry patato, sotong, pork curry, and of course my favorite which is the pork belly. Suffice to say, the coconut rice is definitely unforgettable in every visit. The stall is not exactly easy to locate but perhaps ask some of the Chinese at chow kit market, they maybe able to point the direction. 
Today's anchovies were very very salty. Well, I was feeling the Masala Tea was too sweet and the anchovies were too salty! Perhaps its nothing wrong with the food but my aging biological body of signaling what I should be eating!

Black & White @ KL Chow Kit Market

31.03.2014 Camera Times
@ Chow Kit (click here to Google Map)
Camera: Olympus OMD EM5
Lens: m.zuiko 45mm f1.8
Thoughts: Turning the EM5 into Black & White mode, 以黑白写实题材用心去拍照! I was satisfied with the 45mm lens, even at tougher lighting conditions, it was able to deliver some good shots.
