It was raining yesterday evening which was good as it cooled down the weather a little. We took 8 (altogether 10) of our nieces and nephews to the night fun fare. That must be one of the best of my holiday back home in Malaysia.

Joyce & Sharon learning to fly!!!

My best friend’s daughter, Joyce, came and visit us recently. She is also a very good friend of my girls, best friend to my eldest daughter. It has been such a real joy and delight to have her with us for about 2 weeks, so much so, that when she left we really miss her. She promised to return next year, for a much longer holiday. We even videoed her making her promise…*big smiles*. She said we are very dangerous……haha. Actually we had so much fun together that we persuaded her to extend her holidays. She was just all too happy. Finally she managed to extend another 2 days to 12 days here altogether.

Very spicy fried rice noodles (kway teow)

Let’s talk about authentic, exotic Malaysian food. The list is endless but there are some very popular ones which will always remain as my favourite. I had written about it before but this time it’s special because I went with my daughter to this Malaysian place in London to eat. It’s commonly called Malaysian Hall Canteen. It serves the cheapest and most authentic Malaysian food….cooked by Malay chefs.

Malaysia Street Food (Hawker Food)

I love street food, also known as hawker food. To me, it’s better than restaurant food. If I am to visit another country, I would dive for street food and not those at the restaurants. There is something about street food that fascinates me and keeps me craving for more. On top of that, they are way cheaper than restaurant food.

On my recent trip back to Malaysia, a very good friend took us around for a few days trying out all the best street food in my home town, Sibu, a town in the state of Sarawak…….the best coffee shops for the best local food and the best drink. In Malaysia, street foods are mainly sold in small coffee shops or sometimes at the evening or night markets, called ‘pasar malam‘.
