For the love of good food: Kuala Lumpur Food Trip


Even while planning the itinerary for Kuala Lumpur, all I could ever think about was their food. I have been in this city before and I knew fairly well that good food was inevitable so i I didn't mind coming back.

KL is one of the advance cities in Asia where life has gotten technologically ahead, yet the culture and the diversity that comes along with it have remained in tact. In fact, KL is a home not only to authentic Malay cuisine, but this is also the place where I have learned to love other cuisine that's relatively foreign to my tastebuds. 

To anyone who plans to visit KL in the near future, by all means, I highly encourage you to treat your tastebuds to a gastronomic adventure. While the tourists spots such as the Petronas Towers and Batu Caves are definitely worth the visit, I suggest to make "food trip" your ultimate agenda.

A little insider note though, as a South East Asian city, indulge yourself in eating hawker style or some mid scale restaurants. Lucrative restaurants are expected to serve you with exquisite dishes, but these are also lucrative in the pocket, so I suggest you go out on the streets and experience Asia the way it should be. Not only does it feel truly "South East Asian", it also gives you some more bucks to spend for dessert! 

I've written down some of my favorite dining spots within the main tourist spots in the city so you don't only enjoy a visual delight but a gustatory adventure too, hitting two birds with one stone.

What Makes Malaysia, Truly Asia?


Being in Malaysia wasn't much of a culture shock for me because most of the people looks exactly from where I come from, hearing the language even made me feel like a local. Or maybe just a little bit. But there was something distinct about Kuala Lumpur, it could be due to its laid back, albeit modern and forward feel that makes it really interesting. Whatever it was, I had six days in Malaysia and I was crossing my fingers that this would suffice for me to uncover why they call Malaysia, Truly Asia.
