There’s an Stall at Taman Segar Pasar Malam It’s worth your time to track down this couple’s 20-year-old stall at the Friday night pasar malam as their apam balik is really wonderful. Here the pancakes layers are not very thick and they are unbelievably liberal with the coarsely ground peanuts. You can likewise order
bananas, corn or simply the plain assortment. Our most loved is the one with ready cut bananas, an ideal combo with the toasted peanuts. They additionally trade at the Sri Rampai pasar malam on Thursdays and work on Saturday mornings at the market in Taman Sri Sinar, Kepong.
Address : Right in front of Gold Car Care Services, Jalan Manis 7, Cheras, KL.
Open from 5.30pm every Friday.

Popiah
Popiah is a Malaysian dish made of a filling of ground white rice wrapped in thin and crispy round bao dough then deep-fried. The wrapping is traditionally made with the leaves from plants such as taro, pandan, or even lettuce but most often it is used today with plain white flour dough. The best popiah is found in the morning and sold fresh by street hawkers from vendors with food stalls on pavements. It is commonly eaten with a green chili paste which gives it a hint of spiciness.
The popiah is made of thin, soft rice flour pancakes filled with various fillings like turnip, tofu, fish fillets and roast pork. The fillings are usually sweetened by adding a sauce made from mashed preserved plums, tamarind juice and sugar to it. To enjoy eating this delicious street food item, it should be eaten with a special peanut sauce and wrapped with lettuce before putting the sauce into the mouth.
The most common popiah are:
The rice-filled popiah is made of white or brown rice, a filling of minced meat or fish, crushed egg, crushed peanuts, and sometimes hot pepper sauce. The filling ingredients are usually prepared in advance and wrapped in banana leaves before being steamed in the ground over charcoal fires until they expand to double their size.

Restaurant Jin Xuan Hong Kong :
This restaurant serves delicious food with a blend of Cantonese, Chinese, and Malaysian styles. They offer delicious dishes such as congee, chow mein noodles, fried rice, Malaysian curry, and chicken satay and most importantly Dim Sum to those who visit it. It is also immensely popular among locals who have been visiting this restaurant for several years now. Besides the dim sum, do try their Portuguese egg tart. I like the texture of the tart’s pastry. Unlike the normal tart where the pastry are very firm and filling, the Portugueses tart one is more flaky and soft. Their Portuguese tart is a must to me every time I order food from JIn Xuang Hong Kong. Price-wise, at least RM 50 – 60 for 2 persons, depending on the types of food you ordered as well. Jin Xuan Hong Kong has few outlets spreads across KL and Selangor. My favourite one is the one in Damansara since it’s the closest to me

Way Modern Chinois
Way Modern Chinois specialises in Chinese food. They have an extensive menu that offers traditional dishes as well as some fusion dishes. They also have other specialities such as fish, dim sum and vegetarian options. Their menu is meant for sharing.
This restaurant’s bestseller is their signature Phoenix Claws. They have three varieties to choose from braised seafood, spicy pork or chicken. It is recommended to share this between two or more people. This dish is a must-try, even if you’re not a big seafood fan. The meat falls off the bone and it’s incredibly flavourful. You cannot really go wrong with this one!
Another popular dish here is the shrimp wontons. They are fresh, and they are steamed to perfection.
The location of this restaurant is also amazing and strategic, I would say. The area is also full of restaurants, bars, etc. Mind you that this restaurant’s modern interior design and ambience are amazing—a cosy and dark place with a luxurious feel.

There are many types of Laksa out there, definitely. From my own research ( a laksa enthusiast), there are nine types of Laksa in Malaysia: Curry Laksa, Assam Laksa, Nyonya Laksa, Sarawak Laksa, Laksa Kedah, Laksa Kuala Perlis, Laksa Kuah Putih, Johor Laksa and Singapore style Laksa. There are many different variations in flavoring and ingredients. This is from my own understanding and research. I’ve tried some of the laksa and I would say that each of the laksa is very different from one another. Although they fall under the category of laksa,, each laksa prepared and uses different ingredients, according to each state.

Wow! That kind of sounds like using a wallpaper no? Red is a really difficult colour to work with in house spaces. I am thinking she probably used a darker shade of red? I don’t think the metallic red would look good on the interior of any house although pinkish-red would look good for a baby room? Don’t really have kids right now so maybe not that kind of pinkish-red for me right now haha!

Definitely! My thoughts were to use bright colours to make my living room look bigger (since it is joined to the kitchen area). As for the rooms, I was thinking of a darker colour palette for the Master Bedroom to give that more mysterious and cosy ambience. Still thinking of the other two bedrooms. Definitely not many furniture coz the space is not that big in the first place (being my first house and whatnot) Thank you I appreciate the input 🙂
