Phnom Penh Railway Station

That building is the Phnom Penh Railway station. I found everything in this capture is very oldish. So I decided to "sepia" it... how do you like it?

Yup, the picture was taken on a toktok on-the-move, I turned my back to get this shot.
Yup, the motor-rider here doesn't wear helmet...

The Answer!!!

So here you're... this is the answer : Bamboo tube filled with sticky rice & red beans.

hmm... I dunno about the taste, as I didn't try. But this is very common in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The texture & contents you've seen in previous submission are the herbal & ingrediant to make the rice taste better. ^__^

This local lady simply took the rice with her hands, she didn't use any spoon nor fork nor knife to break the bamboo. Really amazed me! I guess the bamboo became soft after cook. *winks*

A peep at the sky...

Dear SanShu, especially for you & your family... *winks* from... ME!

p/s: This is my 3rd uncle's house - where I stayed in Mentakab, Pahang, Malaysia during CNY(Chinese New Year) holidays. As you may see there're some typical decoration for the event.
I was outside taking some pictures on different angle of the house for my uncle, then I saw the sky from this angle, so thought of capturing it to share with you. How do you like the sky in Malaysia? *winks*

A Sunset at Mentakab

Would you vote for this one or the original copy?
