Nice to see the department store providing mats for the public.
Can you see the number of people in the crowd checking their phones? 🙂
Photography Notes: This is a very tough nightfall scene for any camera to handle.
The Sony Zeiss FE 55mm – A7R combo handled it with ease and beautifully.

Rain or shine, Malaysians are all smiles when they see durians. Amazing how a roadside stall can bring traffic to a standstill.
Upon sighting the durians, many motorists made emergency stops, left their cars haphazardly by the roadside and ran hurriedly to the source of the scent.
Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd, I suppose.

These are actually vermicelli-rice flour string hoppers awaiting steaming on top of a pau steamer cover. The rattan dome is wrapped with a white cloth.
I found out that the South Indian Putu Mayam is from Venus and Putu Mayung is from Pluto. The pakcik hawker at the Ramadan bazaar noticed me giving the name on the banner a double take.
The intuitive man explained that in the north, it is known as Putu Mayung. It tastes just as wonderful with grated coconut and ‘gula melaka’ or coconut palm sugar.
I inverted the image and called it Plutu. The asteroid belt is out-of-focused points of light and people outside the tent.

I asked the operator and he said he extracts (or blends) the juice from the watermelons without adding water or sugar, as other sellers would.
The stall brands itself as Kaw-Kaw Tembikai Blend. Kaw is the Hokkien word for thick.
