Lulu La Delizia – take 2!

Sometimes restaurant cravings are really annoying. I mean, I love going back, but they cost a lot! And they tend to take a bit of planning, reservations wise.

One quirk I was bemused by was that my first leg from Perth to Kuala Lumpur had a plane decorated both inside and outside, with anime style girls – an ad for a Chinese mobile game called “Girls Frontline” apparently.

I had a five hour stopover at Kuala Lumpur airport. In order to save money, I didn’t opt for lounge entry. Instead, I’d planned ahead and packed myself a good book to pass the time.
