Street Eats in Malaysia

David spent April sampling the best food Malaysia has to offer in Penang and Kuala Lumpur, befriending some of the best local chefs and Southeast Asia food connoisseurs.

His love for street food was infectious as he ate his way through Penang.

While in Kuala Lumpur, Marina Mahathir, from the organization Sisters in Islam, and Ivy Josiah, from Women’s Aid Organization, even convinced David to try a dish featuring his kryptonite — durian, the world’s smelliest fruit.

But he followed it up with a day of cooking and eating fresh crab dishes that left our mouths watering.

Hawker Culture in Singapore

In Singapore, David was quick to dive into the hawker culture. He visited (and ate his way through) the East Coast Lagoon Food Centre and other hot spots, where his local friends helped him find and cook the best dishes.

David loved the passion he saw from the owners and chefs of the hawker stalls, and was quick to show his appreciation.
