It's been more than 2 months, I didn't update this blog.
So sorry, been busy with works and life. Especially last May, I've been travelling w/ my hubby to Manila and KL at the same time. So for the 1st week, we went to Manila, but it is for working purpose. And we transit back to our beloved town, Jakarta, for only 6 hours, dropping our dirty clothes and change it into our clean clothes, and straightly back into plane going to KL.
But anyway, it is really an experience for us. We never been like this before, the sleepy and tired body, didn't make us stop.
So this time, the stories that I would like to share is, our experiences not only shopping, but tasting the Malaysian food.
Most of us, we knew this past years, there're some rumours from the news about our country, Indonesia and our neighbour country, Malaysia, been fighting about some food that proclaim as one of our or Malaysian local food.
Anyway, for me, we had same geographic area, we had same ingredients that lay around our land that can grow mostly the same, but most importantly, it is different taste. For example, Beef Rendang in Indonesia had different taste and texture with Malay Beef Rendang. And there're still many more food that had the same name and shape, but for sure everyone will say, it'll be different taste and texture.
For me, the food louvre, I enjoy every taste of it.
So begin with our 1st day reaching KL.
 |
| Chicken Curry |
Chicken Curry or Gulai Ayam as we said in Indo. It tastes real curry, but it's quite different with our local gulai. The curry is red, more oily and thick sauce. But anyway, it is still nice to taste.
 |
| Curry Laksa |
Curry Laksa in here is quite different w/ what I used to eat in Singapore. It is still use the curry sauce, but the curry sauce is a little bit red in color, same like chicken curry that I taste.

Char Kway Teow
|
The next day, my Malaysian friends brought me to try some other malay local foods. They are:
 |
Me and Hubby w/ all the foods we're going to try
|
 |
| Roti Boy ala Papa Rich |
 |
| Ipoh Koay Teow Soup with Steamed Chicken |
The Ipoh Kway Teow w/ steamed chicken. It tastes pleasantly beautifully. The soup broth, it is beautifully cooked, and the softness of the kway teow just make it easily to chew inside your mouth. Ant the steamed chicken, perfectly pair w/ the kway teow.
This is one of the best food, I came here to eat. Nasi Lemak is almost the same w/ our Nasi Uduk, but the side dishes is quite different. Nasi Lemak served w/ dried ikan bilis, fried peanuts, boiled egg, cucumber and chicken curry. It makes the meal very rich of flavours. Especially when you eat it w/ sambal.
A friend of Nasi Lemak is Otak - Otak.
Otak2 usually we eat it w/ nasi lemak. I used to eat otak2 while I'm back in Singapore. In Singapore, they grilled the Otak2 w/ pandan leaves. It is quite different in here, they steamed it. And still the taste incredible tasty.
Dinner at night, we had an Indian Food:
 |
| Indian Mee Goreng, Crispy Prata and Teh Tarik |
Mee Goreng in here is quite different with the one I was thinking. Mee Goreng that I used to eat in Singapore is slightly dry compare this one. It was spicy and quite wet and sticky. But the taste still nice. And the crispy prata, it is the same prata, but they made it into a thinner layer, and still serve w/ curry sauce too. And we drank teh tarik.
So, some people didn't really know how the real prata was made. So here it is, I took some picture, how the real prata made.The baked and grilled it just stick it into the wall. How amazing it is.
For the dessert, after a long queue
here some what we had
Tong Yuen were called Ronde Jahe in Indonesia. But they served it just w/ water sugar in here. And inside of the Tong Yuen, you could choose either peanut butter, mung bean or black sesame. Tong Yuen was made of glutinuous powder. It taste sweets but for sure everyone of us will love it.
 |
| Ice Mango |
Ice shaved served with Mangoes cut and Mango Syrup.
 |
| Soya Bean, Bean Curd ginger sauce w/ char kway |
 |
| Lok-Lok @ P.Ramlee |
I've tried Lok2 before in Macau, but it served differently. In here, you'll eat it at the side of the road, and they served it inside of a car. You could fried or boil the fish ball, sausage, satay or even meat ball. It's something different that we don't have in Indonesia.
Our last day in KL, we had meals in the airport.
 |
| Assam Laksa |
It made of thick rice noodles served in aromatic fish-based tamarind broth with shredded lettuce, red chilli, cucumber, onion and lemon grass. Topped with shrimp paste and mint leave. I don't think most people will like this meal. As it had a smell strong and fishy soup. But it is good to try.
 |
| Beef Noodles |
So, that's our last meal and last day in KL. What an experience we had.
Sampai Jumpa lagi di Wisata Kuliner berikutnya. ^___^
