The lack of Malaysian restaurants abroad astounds us.

We've fallen in love.

Savoury scents of Indian curries

Wafting from lunch buffets

Cease our exploring

To queue to fill a plate

Tempeh, lentil curries and veggies

Pay by portion-size

Our stomachs deeply satisfied

Even foreign-started, locally successful 

Kickapoo joy juice.

Entertains Ethan with its retro label

Mee goreng, char kuey teow, and Hokkein mee

Bring noodles to life.

Nasi lemak, laksa soup, and rendang 

Which dish to choose?

Vegetarian options and adaptations galore

Kuala Lumpur is our food city.

Flavours and variety rarely disappoint

Except in the case of durian cake

Whenever Ethan and I discuss places we'd return to in a heatbeat, Malaysia always comes up and the food is a big reason. Sadly, I didn't take enough food photos on this trip, both shots of the meals are from Penang, Malaysia on my first trip there in 2012. The first I believe is char kuey teow and the second is a Penang Hokkein Mee with prawn.
