We used to joke around with our friends that privileged information (i.e., gossip) shared between us had to be under a “cone of silence.” Here in Malaysia, it’s more punitive. Reveal anyone’s secrets, and we’ll make you eat a cone of butter.

We’ve Moved to Sao Paulo!

This is so entertaining…I would gain a ton if I could eat all that wonderful food for as cheap as they sell it in Malaysia. Miss you both much and I enjoy getting my daily Malayasian (food) Fix each day, compliments of the Kaufmans. Keep it coming : )
Oh…the cone is disgusting and looks to be a germ magnet.
Ew, is that seriously what that is?!?! That’s disgusting!
I’m pretty grossed out. Did you eat it?
David: Yes, it really is a cone of butter. Real, unadulterated butter.
Melanie: No, we didn’t eat it. It’s a cone of butter available at, not surprisingly, a toast place. We get our toast with kaya, which is a local young coconut jelly.
Kittygirl: Glad you’re enjoying the blog! I love posting on it and telling people about living here. 🙂
My Dad will squeal in delight if I promise him there’s a 4 foot butter cone somewhere in KL. Holy cow this is amazing!!
