Malaysia 🇲🇾

Kuala Lumpur

Tips

  • Malaysia has incredibly good fruit, definitely try durian, soursop, dragonfruit, and papaya

Attractions

Batu Caves

A bit further outside of KL, but the colourful steps are iconic! Don’t bring plastic bags, the monkeys here are aggressive and they’ve learned to steal those from you

Food

Village Park Restaurant

Famous place for Malaysia’s national dish, nasi lemak!

Lot 10 Hutong Food Court

Located in the basement of a mall with lots of options! Really enjoyed the ice kacang (pictured, try it with durian or soursop) and beef horfun here

Leens Middle East Kitchen

Syrian cuisine, the smoked hummus with fresh bread and kebab khashkhash were incredible.

Big Singh Chapati @ TTDI

Amazing Indian food, cheese + garlic naan with various biryanis and curries

Kompassion

I never went here, but my family LOVES this Thai restaurant - especially the crab laksa. Not cheap by Malaysian standards, but supposedly very worth it
