It was ages ago so I decided to post my latest again. Read More

My dad loves to explore new places all the time. He recently recommended Hung Kitchen located at Kampung Ungku Mohsin to the family.

Basically, the place has been operating for years and people start noticing this place due to their affordable pricing. Hung Kitchen is hidden in one of the houses along the street. Despite the location, there are lunch crowds flowing in during weekdays. Read More

[M’SIA EATS] FANCY GORENG PISANG EXPERIENCE IN KUCHING | SARAWAK

During a trip to Kuching last month, I was impressed with the development of the state.My first impression on Kuching, Sarawak is a less developed state as compared with other states of Malaysia. But after I arrived,I was wrong and Kuching has more than 180 hotels cater to travellers from all over the world.Hotel deals are on various platform including HotelsCombined. No worries on the hotel accomodation here.
So,I accidentally came across this fancy rainbow goreng pisang through Instagram. This triggers my interest to give it a try.Apparently, rainbow goreng pisang has been selling in different states of Malaysia quite sometime. However, I have not come across this yet and I am excited to give the first try. If you are not familiar with goreng pisang, this is a deep-fried banana covered with batter and is known by locals in Malaysia, Singapore, Philippine and Brunei. Read More
