For some reason, they taste better there. I recommend the sweeter kind, like beras kencur, made with kencur root and rice powder.

Last week, Preval had said he understood the frustrations, and quipped that if people started to protest, they should stop by the palace and pick...
...minute walk away from the palatial Islamic Cultural Center where hundreds of Sunnis gather each week for Friday prayers, stands the Ahlul-Beyt Islamic Center, the only Shiite house of worship in Ireland. There, Imam Dr. Saleh and Ahmed Ali flip through Arabic satellite channels and drink tea, recounting tales of fleeing from Iraq to escape Saddam Hussein's persecution of Shi'ites. Although Ali, 39, came to Dublin in 1999. At that time, there was peaceful co-existence between Shi'ites and Sunnis. He says one could even crack Shi'ite-Sunni jokes in mixed company. That...
