Part 2 of 2

We enjoyed the food so much in Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi that I had to continue with a separate blog post for the food we had in  both these places. Below is part 2 continuation of our >> earlier blog post on Malaysia.

Some of the popular dishes that Malaysia are known for is:

• Nasi Lemak
• Curry Laksa
• Char Kuay Teow
• Ikan Bakar
• Nasi Kandar
• Ayam Percik
• Beef Rendang

Nasi lemak is a Malay fragrant rice dish cooked  with coconut milk and pandan leaf. It is popular enough  to be considered the national dish. It is also popular in neighboring areas such as Singapore and Thailand.

Below are some pics of some of the yummiest food we had  in Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi.

The  famous “Durian” Fruit stall (above) at the Jalan Alor  street markets

So tell me more  about Durian ?

Durio zibethinus is the most common tree species in the genus Durio that are known as durian and have edible fruit also known as durian. As with other durian species, the edible flesh emits a distinctive odor that is strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Wikipedia

For those not in the know about the fruit’s smell, food writer Richard Sterling once wrote, “its odor is best described as…turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock. It can be smelled from yards away.” … Singapore has banned the transport of durian fruit on the subway.Nov 7, 2018

Malay food is generally spicy. Dishes are not always necessarily chilli-hot per se, but there will always, at the least, be a chilli-based sambal on hand. Traditional Southeast Asian herbs and spices meet Indian, Middle Eastern and Chinese spices in Malaysian food, leading to fragrant combinations of coriander and cumin (the basis of many Malay curries) with lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, cardamom, star anise and fenugreek.

The Dkhas cafe(above)  where we had  the mango with sticky rice (pic below) – This is the first time we had something unique like this and totally enjoyed it

The Mango with sticky rice and warm frothy milk dish at cenang, langkawi

The restaurant “Rathas Raub”  where we stopped by on our way to Pahang in Malaysia, we were so impressed by the unique  taste of the Indian curries over here that we picked up a few packets of their instant curry paste ( ..which was finger licking delicious).

The food below we had at Rathas Restaurant in Raub, The dishes were yummlicious and we just could not stop eating as you can see from the spread below. It had  a home cooking like flavour yet was do delicious. They serve Indian food with a Malay flavor

Some of the pics from the “Rathas”  restaurant, this was one of the biggest spreads we ordered and cheapest meals we had in Malaysia.

Below is the one of the  best prawn curry soups  that I have ever had in my life. It had a sweet and sour kinds taste and it was just heavenly. We had this at “Tweenz Corner” located at the oriental food court in oriental village in Langkawi.

Below is the pic of the Oriental food court.

This was a the mudskipper (catfish) that  was cooked at the Chinese restaurant  for us,  I did not know that we could actually bring our own fish and the restaurant would cook it for us until I visited  this restaurant in Malaysia. This turned out to be  of of the best  steamed fish dishes that I ever had. They steamed the fish  with soy sauce and ingredients that they would not tell us.

If you are in Kuala Lumpur and  got that felling for some  tasty Indian food , this is the place you would go”Saravanaa Bhavan KLCC”. I didn’t know this was an international Indian chain of restaurants until I visited here.

As you can see from the  above pic, they only serve vegetarian food here, but  the taste is so good that it might want to  to switch sides if you also eat meat. Good tasty authentic Indian food. They are based  in the KLCC Mall in Kuala Lumpur. I had a good Beef rendang at the Kuala Lumpur airport @papparich which definitely came close to a good Indonesian beef rendang , but forgot to get a photograph of it. But hopefully next time for the real thing!
