Chicharrones

This junk would be unavailable in Malaysia coz it is non-halal. FritoLay deep fried pork rind!

I choose the spicy flavor. A big pack costs USD2.25

It was indeed spicy!

I like the crunchiness of the deep fried pork rind. The cubes are light and airy inside. The texture is similar to keropok, except that it is made of pork rind😁

It was so spicy that I have to standby with glasses of water!

No, I did not attempt to finish it in one setting. That's crazy as it will burn my stomach.

During the evening on the 4th working day, I 'dated' mr-nice-guy after our working hour.

We went to....ahemm....Westin hotel.

Yes, that blue-ish greenish building on the left (see below picture)

nah, we just passed by there on our way to the mall😉

It was after office hour....hence, there's evening traffic jam. We made a wise decision by walking to the mall instead of taking a taxi or Uber.

the evening rush hour 'scene' in Costa del Este. This part of the city looks like Miami.

More high rise apartment while on our way to the mall. These buildings are located at the coast, facing the sea (Pacific ocean).

There are banks, hotels, offices, malls in the vicinity.

At some quieter streets, u'll see some expats having their evening jog and taking their cute doggies for a walk.

Very close to the sea, but inaccessible. There is no beach. It's walled up.

[Below] There goes our destination - the mall!

known as the 'Town Center' mall. 

It consists of a few blocks, interconnected thru an atrium. At night, there would be lights and water fountains...a very happening place indeed.

Finally, there's a cool place to hang out. After some 20 minutes walk, we were sweating like hell.

Such a pleasant to reach the mall with aircond😂
