Hey guys! It’s technically Day 51 of the Movement Control Order here in Malaysia. I will be resuming work at the office tomorrow. After nearly 2 months, it’s time to say hello again to traffic jams. Originally, the MCO was supposed to be lifted on May 12 – but the government has already allowed businesses to reopen from May 4. It’s all very confusing: on … Continue reading Quarantine Meals ! – Of Dimsum, Nasi Lemak and Char Kuey Teow
Nasi lemak. The perennial Malaysian favourite, and the country’s national dish. The traditional version – often wrapped in banana leaf in a pyramid-like shape – consists of rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan, served with sambal (spicy sauce), fried anchovies and peanuts, sliced cucumber and a boiled egg. While the dish is primarily served by Malay vendors (but enjoyed by people from all walks … Continue reading Food Review: Best Chinese-Style Nasi Lemak In KL @ Peel Road Nasi Lemak, Cheras
The weather has been sweltering hot these days – If you’re looking for a quick thirst quencher in a no-frills setting, look no further than Kwong Wah Ice Kacang @ Happy Mansion in PJ. The shop is small and jam packed with tables, so don’t expect to linger on for hours – strictly a “drop in-eat-and go” kinda place.

Cosy interior, mishmash of modern and traditional elements. Like its namesake, it sports a ‘canteen’ style look but more upscale. Their signature is Nasi Lemak, but … Continue reading Review: Poppo Kanteen, Bandar Puteri Puchong – Nasi Lemak and Fusion Cuisine

One of Malaysia’s best and most well-known dishes, hands down, is the nasi lemak. If you’re a tourist, no trip is complete without trying this at least once. 🙂 It’s like going to the Philippines and not trying their adobo! Nasi Lemak literally means ‘fat’ or ‘oily rice’, because the rice is cooked in coconut milk (santan) and pandan leaves, giving it a rich and … Continue reading Malaysian Flavours – Nasi Lemak
