A taste of Malaysian food

When it's hard to curb our food cravings, there's only one place we go. And we have never been disappointed. Yummy food and light on the pocket too.

I am talking about the eatery near Bukit Bintang. I don't know what it is called though. Hubby and I call it "kainan sa likod" (literally eateries at the back) because it feels like it is just at the back of our apartment. It's actually a street next and parallel to Bukit Bintang.

It's a whole street of restaurants on one side and the tables and chairs are set on the street. It's far from fancy. But the service is fast, the food filling and delicious and most importantly cheap considering it is a touristy place!


This is one of the restaurants. It's our favorite spot.

Grilled stingray fish.

Buttered prawns.

Sauteed kangkong with chili.

Fresh coconut juice with meat.

Char Keow Tew - must have food for me.

All these food plus two rice and two more drinks for only RM65 ($18). Beat this! :)

Haha! Good for you for trying KL's street food ;) And spicy food at that!

My favourite is roti canai and teh tarik (or milo ais) from a mamak stall. Hotels just can't duplicate the taste somehow!

Oh yes, we're adventurous! Hahaha. Haven't had roti canai and teh tarik yet though.

Stingray fish? Sounds like an exotic delicacy. Those buttered prawns look yummy!

Rachel - The buttered prawns are oh-so-yummy! The stingray fish is a wonderful discovery. We've come to love it!
