I want!


I'm currently trying very hard to buy this rabbit and make some rabbit satay for all Asean clan members.


You wanna go to Penang, don't you Aero? Try the laksa there... out of this world!
I don't like oxtail soup. Gimme som tum anyday.

@sweet: Is there any ingredient that's considered typical in Burmese cooking? Like Thai have the naam pla (fish sauce), Malay have the belacan (shrimp paste).

Id Owned u .................

I wanna join

Please give me d head ,I love d ear.

Now the Bali food is famous in Bangkok ,and the Spore style bun is famous too.
I not sure these food is Malay food or not ,but these Halah food are famous in Thai

Ox tail soup ,hot and sour


Biriyani chicken rice

By the way Lets Lao dreamer in. More halfie chicks

Lao_Dreamer. It's always nice to have more girls in here.

@AERO: must you tempt us with those food pics? Not all of us are based in SEA you know. It's not as easy to get yummy food just off the roadside here.


If you come to KL and wanna make merit for all those naughty things you've been up to, I'll bring you here. Wat Chetawan. It's not as grand as the wats in Thailand though.

If I go to Msia ,I really have to behave. Espacially about dirty joke. I heard for d Chinese is ok ,but no no for Malay espacially girls ,but Tamil or Indian love dirty joke

Lets post d picture of d city ,I want to see d city in SEA



MBK THai shoping mall ,with new Thai movie ads




Sky Train

^Mahboonkrong, I like.

If you come to KL, you can choose your tour guide. Malay?Chinese? Indian? At your service. Service with a smile. The smile can mean many things, just like the Thai smile

Don't ask them to act in your cucuk films.

Why do you like SkyTrain photos so much?
KL's LRT, don't have as much advertisement as Bangkok's.

But once you're in downtown, the Monorail is actually more useful.

This is going to sound really ignorant, but which city is more developed?

KL or BKK?

Singapore !

^Yes, Singapore is developed with lots of skycrapers.

They are beyond Bangkok and KL for sure. And I quite sure that this city is clean

Heh, KL or Bangkok? I think both are developing quite nicely. But I got more complaints about KL I guess, cos I grew up there and see more things that can be improved on.

True that Singapore's more developed and organised than the two.

The durian-domed buildings to the right are the Esplanade. Very good performances there.

You guys see that piece of land at the left. The whole strip is earmarked for future skycrapers. The skyline's gonna look even nicer in future

Lonely Planet's just published its latest 400-plus pages coffee table book called The Cities Book: A Journey Through The Best Cities In The World.

Basically it lists the 200 top cities as ranked by its authors and travellers. I use Lonely Planet a lot, and really liked the book. ASEAN cities which made into the top 200 (with its rankings were):
008: Bangkok, Thailand
023: Hanoi, Vietnam
025: Singapore
041: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
052: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
054: Luang Prabang, Laos
056: Phnom Penh, Cambodia
069: Manila, Philippines
071: Chiang Mai, Thailand
123: Hoi An, Vietnam
129: Yogyakarta, Indonesia
139: Yangon, Myanmar
180: Georgetown, Malaysia

Tony Wheeler, the co-founder of Lonely Planet, added Jakarta as one of 10 ten cities which didn't make the list that he himself would've included.

Just look at Vietnam with three entries!

YAY! Hanoi is higher than Singapore!

Some random snap of my city (hochiminh city- vietnam)

Traffic jam at 5pm near theatre



This scene is everywhere in Vietnam:


peaceful sight

^
The city look so clean ,Hochimin city lookalike ChiangMai. From d picture seem like Viet people love bird.

IMO interm of the size of d city and d population Jakarta is win SEA bigest city ,I heard dat in every area got their own giant malls

you know what would be nice if everyone here is invited to a BIG POTLUCK!

damn for sure I'd bring something and my empty stomach!

Great pictures!

Malaccan gonna bring his rabbit ,I am still looing for d dogs

What's BIG POTLUCK?

But I dont eat dogs or rabbits...so bring another type of meat also

There's a lot of soi dogs in Bangkok, isn't there? j/k!

For you sweet, I''sacrifice some of the Japanese carps I keep.

For the potluck, Happy can bring some pho, and JMAC can bring balut.



I read in Msian newspaper that AirAsia will start joint ventures in the Philippines and a country in Indochina within the next 18 months. I've got a feeling it's gonna be Vietnam. It already has sister airlines in Indonesia and Thailand (but this is currently problematical, right Aero? ) It's really trying to build a pan-ASEAN brand

aww ok cool


thats great...thanks for sharing the info

Vietnam gonna ownz SEA

I 2nd that.

Such confidence from our brothers! Vietnam's well on its way, the GDP growth is higher than any other ASEAN countries.

IMF rep weighs VN against ASEAN stars

Go on folks, ASEAN needs stronger economies all around

VietNam is behind but don't underestimate its people, while other countries' growth could "freeze" VietNam's economy could also "boom" like South Korea in the 80s or China at present Either way, VietNam will go forward!

^ some of the info is abit iffy




^ this is wat i want

^Yeah, that part makes a lot of sense.

So that there's absolutely no misunderstanding, the reason I quoted that article was to show that nowadays increasingly individual ASEAN countries are analysed or referred to in relation to its neighbours. You know how things are with the facts and figures, they're always subject to debate and scrutiny.

I would like to sign up!

hehehe for the opening toast everyone is required to slurp a balut its imperative actually to enter the Potluck

No problem, I will bring Pho Bo, Pho dac biet and Pho chicken


There is no misunderstanding at all, te article simply pointing out one good side of ASEAN's growth, especially VietNam, the region sure is competitve

Welcome tengkuafif!

You can bring the durians for desert.

Here you go!

Maybe we can play this during the potluck..

congkak

Look interesting.

ewwww Durian.

I'll bring these for everyone's noses:

Thanks for the durian. but not for the things above.

Hey nikki nid

whats with your siggy? it looks like you just dropped a ripper (and very proud of it) and everybodies bailin for the door?

Ooooo durian, yummy! I think I'll play takraw instead of congkak afterwards though.

Yo Jason, you wanna join? And do you know it's only about 3000km from Perth to Jakarta compared to the 4000 km from Perth to Sydney?

Lets make some Durian ice cream.

I miss eating Mangosteen.

Yeah sure...I'm a viking when it comes to food!

Can i join?

Yes.The membership fee is USD10 per year.Please pay via the PayPal to malaccan.

I ain't payin's $hit!

Afif, have you been soliciting money under the auspices of our clan?

Welcome jason76! Please catch us a kangaroo. I've never had roo satay before.
And Mabuhay sango27!

Let's learn a bit more about ASEAN currencies:

Brunei : Dollar
Cambodia: Riel
Indonesia: Rupiah
Laos: Kip
Malaysia: Ringgit
Myanmar: Kyat
Philippines: Peso
Singapore: Dollar
Thailand: Baht
VietNam: Dong

May we all have plenty of in the future.

^hey whats the second highest currency after dollar?

^Iono sweet. Economics is not my forte. Do you mean in terms of strength or actual value of currency?

But if you wanna take into consideration purchasing power parity, many of ASEAN's currency are undervalued. I think this is what it means anyway. Sorry, no comparison for the kyat.

count me in for this clan lolz

Again, a common ASEAN currency would be great.
