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)
3:35 pm–Calling up my fellow flogger Delicious Asian Food to make “makan” (means eating in Malay) plans
3:40 pm–Hopping on KLIA Ekspres
4:08 pm–Arriving at KL Sentral Station
4:10 pm–Meeting up with Delicious Asian Food and then onto KL’s famed Chinatown/Petaling Street or in Cantonese “Wai Sek Kai” which aptly means Gluttons Street.
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…
…to be continued in my next post!

There is nothing like eating satay on the street in Malaysia. I’ve never had anything that tasted as good.

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!

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
