December 23, day before christmas
Wakes up after having slept very badly at 7am and still has pain throughout the body. Today it is Christmas Eve and I am still sick and it does not feel good.
I stepped down to the reception to get some breakfast and then I went to Komtar’s shopping center. Previously seen they have a pharmacy there. Must find painkillers.
Many shops in the shopping center are closed but fortunately not the pharmacy, I find fever pills and painkillers.
Christmas EveToday I wake up much better, my pills seems to be working, and after breakfast I decide to search for a restaurant serving some christmas eve dinner.
Few blocks from my hotel I found a restaurant corresponding to my wish so I stepped in and booked a table for the evening.
My christmas eve restaurant
Shortly after 7pm I enter the restaurant, already quite a lot of people and the staff are busy serving everyone.
A young girl from the staff hands me the menu, and it looks like this.
The starter was salmon, followed by a buffet main course with chicken, beef, fish, and roasted potatoes.
For dessert, there was some sort of ice cream with a creamy filling over a soft brown cake served in a glass cup
Probably not a menu that most Swedes would recognize, but I’m in Malaysia now, so I have to adapt to where I am.
The restaurant also had live music performed by two sisters, the “First Sisters,” who played a mix of classical and modern music on the violin and banjo.
The Christmas dinner was really “delicious,” though it probably would have tasted even better if I had been fully healthy.
Around 10:30 PM, I headed back to the hotel, crawled into bed, and tucked myself under the thin brown blanket.
