Malaysia, the Taste of Asia




Malaysia is not just for shopping. It's a food paradise as well.


The magic of this place is at Jalan Alor. A long street of hawker stalls offering the best in Chinese and Malay food. The food is divine and it is cheap. The sights and sounds are a splendor to look at. You'd be lost and be tempted by the glorious smell of food being grilled, fried, stir-fried, pan-fried, steamed, etc. Each and every store has a story to tell and a dish to be tasted. Reminds me of the old esteros of Ongpin in Manila. Only this is cleaner and more authentic.




Can you imagine eating chili crab by the streets? How about a freshly-cooked char kwai teow? (Malay noodles) This is one of the sides of Malaysia that needs to a be experience. A gustatory delight you'll definitely savor.
