Last week, while trying a Tiger Radler (a kind of shandy), we watched the final episode of Marry Me Mary, our latest K-drama.

While some find it "cute and romantic", even "adorable", some are not so convinced by the plotting.

I'm kind of half-way between the two. The plot-line, it is true, is not so much baroque as rococo. And it's definitely not a good advert for the Korean older generation. All four of the young characters were afflicted with annoying parents. (But then the real-life older generation has not been looking that flash this week either.)

But I enjoyed the music. And the clothes. "What is Moo-gyul wearing?" became a recurring question.

Now we're on to a new K-drama, Medical Top Team. All good fun...

A higher-brow look at love was offered by a dance performance and art exhibition at KLPAC. "Amorous Delights" draws on the Sanskrit couplets of the Amarushataka, and was indeed delightful. You can get a taste of King Amaru's subtleties here or here.

The Baroque bit of the week came in the shape of an MPO concert. We enjoyed last week's Brandenburgs so much that we decided to do another two (the second and the fourth). Along with Handel's Almira Queen of Castile suite and Sammartini's recorder concerto, they formed a very elegant and graceful little programme. (And now I really do regret not following up Nigel's suggestion to hear the whole set.)

Sunday brought our reasonably familiar walk to Petaling Street for breakfast.

We try to do this on a first or third Sunday, when many of the central city roads are closed. That way you get to enjoy not only the convivial atmosphere, but also the marching band. We've snapped these guys before, but in different uniforms:



After breakfast you can amble along some atmospheric little streets, taking in the art.



And, like us, you might stumble upon a renowned supplier of egg tarts, namely, Bunn Choon. We were a bit early for egg tarts, but the almond and pineapple specimens we took away were quite delicious, with the shortest, crispest pastry you can imagine. So we'll be back...



And the rest of the week? Well, Wild Honey seems to have extended its range of salads, so I tried out the roasted cauliflower offering. Excellent, as indeed all their salads are. Supporting the cauli are couscous, toasted almonds, chick peas, feta, and -- the source, presumably, of that lightly herbal zing -- za'atar. I was amused to note that the Singaporean version of the menu specifies that it is "Israeli couscous". But that would definitely not be a selling-point here, so the adjective is omitted...

We followed that up with hojicha and noukou matcha ice-cream from our favourite Japanese tea-supplier, Matcha Hero Kyoto. Fabulous.

Love KL...
