It has been 6 long years since we last set foot in Malaysia. Apart from visiting our good friends and relatives, there’s always something else that entices us across the causeway. Yes, you guessed it – the food!
There are 3 parts to our Malaysian food trip.
- Part 1 – Kuala Lumpur
- Part 2 – Ipoh
- Part 3 – Penang

We could tell you how tasty they were and how much we enjoyed them but nothing beats giving your taste bud a treat by making a trip yourself.
Special thanks to @chewchuiling, @amandatwh, @sonicpuff and @bc_ontherocks for sharing the local tips!

Travelling around the city is super easy these days with GRAB (do avoid the peak hours though). The average fare from our hotel in Bangsar to any of the restaurants we mentioned was about RM22.
However, if you are strapped for time, there’s always Hutong @ Lot 10 where you will find popular Malaysian local street food under one roof. Did we mention that it’s air-conditioned? 😛
Stay tuned for our next post – Malaysia Part 2 – Ipoh
