This is not just a typical food blog, as this blog recommends the best foods in Malaysia, perhaps also the best in the world. Why not try them out if you have not tried it before. Share with me your feedback on whether you agree on our choices!

A bit of introduction on myself; I’m a medical doctor by profession, a foodie by passion and also was a owner of a restaurant. I love a good meal which gets everyone excited over. Local cuisines are especially my favorite because every place has their own unique local food. Local foods are really special as I’m not sure what to expect and it’s amazing how these local food continue to surprise me with their delicious taste and flavour.

I have tried more than 10 Michelin star restaurants (each ranging from 1 – 3 stars each), I still personally feel that local street food is the best although the environment and services is not on par with those Michelin star restaurants. I’m not particularly fond of nice restaurants or romantic environment but more passionate on authentic nice street food which is seldom recommended by social media.

Which brings me here! To ease your search on looking for the best local food as I’ll be sharing with you the best local food on this blog here. As a Malaysian and for Malaysians, if we do not talk about food, we can’t really call ourselves a Malaysian. We are spoiled for food choice and these are some of my personal recommendations. The food here is recommended by me, you can always search it up on the internet for more details.

I am blessed by many friends who recommended me yummy food. Special thanks to Dr Doreen Yeap for training me on how to enjoy good foods. I also thank Charmaine for willing to share this blog with me. And also, Melinda for contributing as well.

If you are a fan of what I write here, and if you know a good place to recommend, please don’t be shy to let me know! We’ll be more than happy to try the food out and blog about it.
