A Malaysian with her Food and Travel Blog
Ever think of things to buy from Malaysia to bring back home to your family and friends? From the cliché batik, key chains to pewter serving ware, have you ever thought of the cheap snacks and food you can grab from Malaysian hypermarkets and groceries? Here are a few of my favorite picks: (Some items […]
Setia Alam breakfast food scene had always been missing a proper dim sum. Many independent dim sum houses had come and go, after failing to impress aplenty of disgruntled customers. When Zok Noodle House opened their branch in Setia Alam, we were ecstatic cause we had already tried them (Puchong HQ) and liked it. Finally! […]
Macha & Co Banana Leaf Restaurant is one of the emerging players in the highly popular banana leaf rice competition. I didn’t notice its presence, when it first opened in Kota Damansara. It was through a friend (whom I always hang out with at Kanna Curry House) who texts me, said that its business is […]

Some time ago, I heard from CS, who heard from his colleague that there’s a famous kambing bakar (grilled mutton/lamb) at Jalan Meru, but I brushed the idea off, as I dislike getting trapped by traffic there.
