Pickles is a must with Lebanese cuisine, and they were always served as complementary, normally eaten together with Lebanese bread and dips.

SLIDE BATU

Nak panggil papan lungsur, ia dibina daripada batu. Maka dipanggil slide batu.


There are a few huge 'slide batu' around Taiping Lake Garden. I still remember when I was small at one time I called the Lake Garden as 'Bilik Garden', hehe. It was our favourite spot on weekends. The very slide in the picture was already there since I can remember things. Revisiting the slide with my nieces and nephews brought my thoughts to the good old days in the 80's, when outdoor activities were more preferred over video games.

The slide looks old and aged, with rusty metal staircases and its surface were also not as smooth as I used to remember.
