Le Midi

Wanted to try someplace new, so we made reservations for Le Midi in BSC, Bangsar. The food was wonderfully delicious. I'm just surprised i've never heard of it earlier!

Squid ink tagliolini with scallop, cherry tomato, parsley bread crumbs, carrot orange sauce, topped with bottarga
Tagliolini with Boston lobster, cherry tomato and fresh thymeDuck confit flambed with brandy, accompanied with potato gratin, ratatouilleIlly coffee affagato
Definitely a must try. Make reservations for the window table with the magnificent view of KLCC. (+603 2094 1318)

from the "Culture and the Universe"

"It's not humankind after all
nor is it culture
that limits us.
It is the vastness
we do no enter.
It is the stars
we do not let own us."
-Simon J. Ortiz

The more we work the poorer we become

"The worker becomes all the poorer the more wealth he produces, the more his power increases in power and range. The worker becomes an even cheaper commodity the more commodities he creates. With the increasing value of the world of things proceeds in direct proportion to the devaluation of men. Labour produces not only commodities; it produces itself and the worker as the commodity -- and does so in the proportion in which it produces commodities generally."

-Marx, Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts (1844)

So true isnt it. We're all in one way or another buying each other's labour, each other's time. Our 9am-5pm goes to the highest bidder, and in this day and age, it is our life that goes to the highest bidder.
