Petaling Street pt.7
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire... Well, not so much an open fire as it is heated coal. The only open fire we Malaysians have right now is the one causing the horrible haze that blows in from Sumatera. I digress. Roasted chestnuts. There's nothing quite like 'em on a cold night. So, this one goes out to all of you who are grooving into winter. As for us here in the heated country, we wait for the chestnuts to cool.
I'll be taking you out of the main thoroughfare for the last few shots of this series. Till tomorrow.

I love to eat this, yummy.
Kacang goreng, ya?
Edwin, okay could you take my order... do you deliver?
Also, what is the floating water bottle... is it magic?
ohh roasted chestnut is very common during the winter in Budapest. I even love the smell there when i walk along them.
LOL @ floating water bottle! ;-) And are those little black thingies coffee beans? Cocoa beans? Rocks? My MIL roasts chestnuts during the Winter here...but not over an open fire! LOL! =)))
yes, tis most important to have warm nuts in the winter
I love those (I remember it as "Tenshin-Ama-Guri" as commonly found in Japan). Sadly, I never seen it in NZ.
quand le froid commence, on voit sortir à Paris des marchands de marron. belle photo.
when the cold starts, one sees leaving to Paris the merchants chestnut. beautiful photograph.
amboi, sedapnya!
have to ask Zsolt where he gets his supply
Chestnuts! You make me think of Christmas.
I agree with Annie, roasted Chesnuts recalls the atmosphere of Xmas, winter, and Charles Dickens novels...
Somehow I don't think Pod was talking "chest" nuts....crotch nuts perhaps? I didn't really say that! ;-)
this is one of the modern version with the auto-turn thingy.
waiting to see the last few shots ;-)
Great shot. Such rich color. Thanks for stopping by my site.
Perhaps I am wierd...but I tried roasted chestnuts for the first time just last month and I found them to taste oddly like roast beef. Is that what they taste like to everyone else? I confess...I chucked it in the bin. I love roast beef...but not in a nut. :)
2 visits Ame? You must miss me as much as I miss you ;)
Yes Poddy, keep those nuts warm.
I'll try and deliver some to you both, Rudy and Kris. i wonder if DHL does hot boxes?
Yup, Christmas is just round the corner...again! Annie and Alex, sorted out your holiday plans?
The Wellspring...beef? You sure? that's really odd.
Loved them! I like the colour of the chestnuts against the dark coffee beans!
Yum yum! One of those things I remember Petaling St of. The water bottle placed above the wok looks like some mechanical contraption to pour water into the wok!
what supply you mean kris?
It makes me think of my time in England when as a child you would tie them to string and have battles with your best friend... trying to break their 'conker' before yours breaks! Fun as!
Mmm, I can smell them. Had them always in Istanbul, then Paris. I wish we had them on street corners here in E.L. Tried cooking them myself once and burned them, after gathering such nice ones by the Grand Palais. Smelled up the whole apartment.
I like those, as you say on a cold winter night. I get fed up quickly when I eat some but being next to the fire staring at the chestnuts is soothing and rewarding.-)
You STILL have the haze? How many months has it been?
Reminds me of Paris, I love roasted chestnuts.
The latest post at Hyde DP is Autumn Chestnuts and I've included links to some other chestnut postings including this one.
