What do you do when you have 5 hours layover in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia?
For me, as a foodie, and a true Malaysian, I hopped on the 28-minute KLIA Ekspres straight into downtown KL for some serious chow. Inflight food? No thanks! I have better grub for my stomach…(more picture after the jump)
3:30 pm–Arriving at KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport)

4:30 pm–Feasting on these yummylicious chicken satay and peanut sauce (I slurped it dry), fresh coconut juice, and more food–a dish that I have been missing for years…

Chicken Karaage (Sesame Fried Chicken) Recipe
Near the Sensoji temple in Asakusa, Tokyo, where many street vendors set up stalls to sell various snacks and street food, chicken karaage (唐揚げ) is one of the popular offerings. A quick walk around and you can find many vendors with a big wok/pot of boiling oil, deep-frying their chicken karaage to golden perfection. I had my first real taste…
Ice Kacang/ABC (Malaysian Shaved Ice)
Other than BBQ, my summer favorite has got to be shaved ice—a thirst quencher and lovely dessert for the hot summer days. Shaved ice is very popular in Malaysia; called Ice Kacang (in Penang) or simply ABC elsewhere in Malaysia, it’s a popular dessert commonly sold by street vendors.

There is nothing like eating satay on the street in Malaysia. I’ve never had anything that tasted as good.
I salute you… you will do anything for food, ya? :-D
The satay looks so yummy! I’m sure your effort is worth it. :-)
Lucky you ..!! i wanna go home too..!

I guess satay is one of the best Malaysian food. It’s something that can be rarely seen in overseas I guess. I miss them so badly when I was in UK.
wow you’re making me soooo hungry!
By the way, I’m a new reader to your blog but you just got a new frequent reader! haha
I just went to a Malaysians Basic cooking class and you basically have everything that was taught in the class here! And gorgeous pictures too! I am just starting to learn food photography myself, so seeing your photography really gives me motivation to keep trying =)
Thanks!
Ohh man that looks good! Wish you had a recipe.
Gorgeous photos!
Gotta love those long layovers in Kuala lumpur. I bet it would be worth missing your flight! hehe. :-)
While “merantau” in Holland for a month, I was fortunate to stay with a Surinamese friend who can make something like our satay sauce but sweeter with kebabs. However, the first I did upon coming home was to run to the nearest satay stall. Nothing like our own satays. LOL
Wahh…you really seize the day! Am impressed! Hahaha!
oh my gosh, chicken satay look sooooo good.
Heard about this stall but haven’t try it out yet. Maybe next round when I am in the area. Cheers!
