We’ve been flinging ourselves around Malaysia for the past two weeks and after all the commuting of the past week in Thailand I’m (somewhat ironically) looking forward to relaxing in Kuala Lumpur and enjoying some of my Malaysian favourites one last time.

The most torturous part our Malaysia holiday is all the planning and waiting for it to finally begin, I’ve become more than a little obsessed with finally making it to back to Thailand – massages, seafood and beaches? Bring it on!

It’s day 2 in Penang, despite the sheer variety of food available to us here our trip isn’t all about the food (shockingly), we’ve got a packed day ahead of us with temples, more temples, durian, snacking, food courts and the occasional naps we manage to squeeze in between.

I’ve been looking forward to Penang, knowing that it’s closer to the ocean I’ve foolishly assumed that the weather will be cooler. I’ve never been more wrong in my life. The humidity is almost punishingly heavy and I’m sweating within seconds of leaving the car, my hand-held fan my only salvation.

It’s hard to believe we’ve been traveling for barely been a week on our Food Blogger Trip and we’ve somehow managed to hit Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur, Melaka and the Cameron Highlands on the way to Ipoh. We’re off in search of breakfast again and Billy taken us to Ipoh Old Town in search of a famous coffee house.

Once again we’re tackling the winding roads from the Cameron Highlands down towards Ipoh, it’s a place close to Billy’s heart, he’s lived here for most of his life and a lot of his family is still in the area.

It’s a somewhat quiet morning, we’re starting on the first major part of our road trip, heading up to Cameron Highlands. Stomachs are obviously still suffering from the abuse the previous day and our breakfast plates are noticeably smaller.

Anyone who has been to Malaysia will know that while Kuala Lumpur is shiny, apart from shopping and eating there’s not a hell of a lot to do there. We decided early on in our planning to hire a van to drive us around Malaysia, road trip style!

Welcome to the first of my Malaysia Mondays posts! Rather than subject everyone to a barrage of Malaysian posts I’ve decided to space them out a little and post weekly updates. Be warned the posts are heavy with text, an inappropriate amount of rambling and yes, a truly ridiculous amount of food.

During our 4 days of extensive shopping in KL, there was one particular thing that we noticed. Each shopping centre had a Madam Kwan’s- Truly Malaysian Cuisine franchise, which was always packed despite the time of day. So when we were exploring the Pavilion shopping centre, we spotted a Madam Kwan’s, which was actually quite [...]

While in Malaysia, what does one do, but shop and eat. After basically visiting all the shopping centres/malls in central KL, Howard and I decided we wanted to go somewhere different, somewhere not too mainstream, The Curve shopping mall. As we wanted to experience the public transport system of Malaysia, we caught the train and [...]

Edit : Sorry guys it seems the photos have dissapeared! After a year of continuously slaving away at work, Howard and I were looking forward to a short break to Malaysia and Singapore. Prior to boarding the plane, we decided we wanted to go on a food expedition while overseas so we spent many lazy [...]
