Southeast Asia Foodie Guide (Abridged)

Finding tasty, affordable, and local’s everyday restaurant is an eternal question during travels.

I’m sure everybody all has their own way. And here I’ll just share a couple of my tips during my Malaysia/Singapore travel when it comes to pick a restaurant.

• Does the restaurant has a big menu board on the wall packed with a huge variety of dishes in tiny font?
• Is there a corner in the restaurant stacked high with boxes of canned or bottled drinks?
• Are there local condiments on each table for diners to add as they like?

This Mamak restaurant I found in Kuala Lumpur fit all above perfectly. And as expected, I got really good Nasi Goreng, fresh and hot. Equally memorable is a glass of Milo that is so sweet, just like taking a nosedive straight into the sea of chocolate syrup.
