Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur can so easily be rechristened as
Asia’s food capital. Someone who has been to this city will neither
disapprove of this statement nor raise any skeptical eyebrow. KL, as
in short, is clearly high on food. So, someone who likes to flaunt
the badge of a foodie won’t mind doing the repeat visit to this
city which is literally brimming with cuisines and gluttons the way
Shakespeare’s novels brim with romance and melancholy. If you need
a clear picture of KL’s food joints, you should spend some time
over the net and leaf through personal blogs by devoted foodies from
around the world.
India
itself is a den of foodies who live in a hush-hush manner and show
their true colors only when they land up at such tasty corners. You
may think them to be anorexic food-haters or people indifferent to
different cuisines but the moment something like over-fried noodles
or coconut-enmeshed rice materializes before their eyes, they forget
all their well-faked manners and transform into greedy wolves. Well,
we can’t blame them, given the deliciousness of this city. Just to
show you a little more promise, Malaysia
packages are far less expensive than you may be thinking. So the
day is not far when you can run your tongues over foods which are
anything from bizarre to steal-worthy.
It is
said that a true food destination is one where the best meals are
served right on street. Forget the hygiene factor, they are dirt
cheap! Oh, and by the way, they are quite hygienic too and you will
not be able to resist a third helping.
Nasi
Lemak is one of the belly-filling dishes in the city. It is basically
a rehash of rice but with coconut mixed in it. The result is a yummy
combination of fat and lure; something which will seem adequate for
an empty stomach and one which will not burn any hole in your wallet.
Nasi Lemak has its many avatars and experimenting with them can be
risky, but adventurous.
But if
you are a safe player and abhor the idea of toying with your food
habits, you can easily find the familiar Chinese cuisines and even
those Indian naans and parathas. Then there is udon which is a fresh
form of noodles. No doubt, it is sumptuous but more than the taste
you will cherish the newness it brings to your plate.
There
is so much more to say. But we will not reveal all the cards. You go
there and find out yourself. No matter what else you do, eating and
eating at street stalls is amongst the tastiest activities
to do in Kuala Lumpur. So, don’t you dare skip it!
