MAKAN! MAKAN!


The home of three distinct cultures living under one umbrella: Malaysia. Perhaps one of the greatest culinary destinations that nobody talks about? Fiery south Indian curries, luxurious laksas, wok hei char kuey teow, and everything inbetween.

Malaysia truly has some of the best food in the entire region, but thankfully does not suffer from the same bellend brigade that descend on Thailand with their stupid football shirts and pink faces. We'll keep this place to ourselves, thanks.

Some places are for the lazy Sunday coffee with an iPad, others are reserved for true coffee nerds, but with a little guidance you'll be resisting the urge to order a "Grande" and settle for some true local charm instead.

If you enjoy eating hot food in a sauna, then Melaka is just the place for you. Plagued by incessant humidity, this seaside town hardly gets a whiff of cooling winds, however the food scene slightly placates the intensity.

The UNESCO heritage city has a lot more going for it than old shopfronts. Despite having a soft spot for peeling paint, the real catch here is the variety of excellent cuisines.
