I have no idea how Anthony Bordain, the famous celebrity chef ended up at this restaurant. Nilai is really, not a place of attraction. It’s in the middle of no where, and has no touristic significance at all (except for this restaurant, maybe).

The food…Oh my god…the food! It’s malay food the way it was cooked and tasted 100 years ago I would imagine. I’ve been here 6 times in one month! It really is that good. Go for it!

This time we had guests, from Germany. We ‘forced’ them to use the Malaysian technology for cutlery..our fingers! Chrissi seems to be struggling.

Her boyfriend Martin…was calm, cool, collected, and seemed to have everything under control.

Everything, except for the hot mussels. No one could step up to the plate, and face the ultimate spicy, hot Malaysian red hot mussels.

If you’re interested. Here’s Aunty Aini’s Restaurant contact info. It’s all worth it people. Go for it.

And here’s more foodie pics…just to get your taste buds pumping.

Ovua!

I setup a new blog where I’ll provide some travel tips (sorry, It’s in Malay language, mainly for Malaysians). I’ve traveled quite a bit throughout the world, and very seldom I see fellow Malaysian travelers out there.

This new blog is to help my fellow countrymen/women to reach out, get out of that comfort zone…and start traveling. There will be exciting tips, advice, and guidelines on where to travel (more to backpacking) to Europe. Hopefully it’ll create more interest!

See you.

Morton, a 37-year-old triathlete nicknamed Ironman Joe, was on a business trip in Malaysia when he saw mangosteen, a white delicacy wrapped in a blood-red leathery shell, on the dessert menu.

That was the start of an idea to create a multi million dollar company, growing faster than Yahoo, Dell, Microsoft and even Ebay!

Melaka and George Town in Malaysia have been added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List by The World Heritage Committee.With more than 500 years of trading and cultural exchanges, traces of Asian and European influences are well preserved in the two cities.

Melaka, the capital of the Malaysian state of Malacca, is also known as the ‘historic city of Malaysia’. No historian has been able to pinpoint the founding year of the city, though it is estimated that it was founded between 1376 and 1400. The government buildings, churches, squares and fortifications in Melaka demonstrate the early stages of history originating in the 15th-century Malay sultanate, as well as the Portuguese and Dutch periods beginning in the early 16th century.

George Town in Penang, on the other hand, represents the British era that began towards the end of the 18th century. But George Town is not only influenced by Britain as Chinese cultural heritage in the city is hard to be missed.

Photo enthusiasts in Malaysia has lately really taken advantage of the beautiful
landscapes of making the perfect outdoor shots for a wedding.

I’m glad that because of this, scenic paddy fields, water falls, villages and beaches
have put Malaysia out there for the world to see.

“We have already been to some stunning tropical beach locations, but i
would say that Coral Beach (on Perhentian Kecil) takes some beating (photos to come) and
unlike the Thai islands it is wonderfully chilled out and relaxing.”

Then I found this website which has quite an impressive list of things to do within certain radius of Kuala Lumpur. Just what I needed. Among what I’m kind of eyeing right now is:

• - Kuala Selangor - Coastal Fishing Town
• - Pulau Ketam - Fishing Village on Stilts
• - Pasir Penambang - Seafood Haven (Yum!)

These are within a 50-100km radius of KL. Not too bad.Will make it a point to try it out one by one, and put in a little review on each of them here.

Its unbelievable that a man with this kind of talent hasn’t been offered a recording contract! His skills are jaw dropping.

From his website samtriggy.com, Hisyam is a humble person. Quoting from his forum, a guy asks: “Can you put your bio in the page so I can know you much better. I know that you’re humble person but at least introduce your self much longer than ‘Hi, There. I’m Hisyam from Malaysia’”.

And he answers, “thanks for your intererest. I’m glad to do so but for the time being, let my music describe it for me. In future I’ll put it in when everything is ready.”

I’d like to support my fellow Malaysian by promoting him in this blog. If you’re from Europe or US, do invite him for some shows. If you know someone from a recording company, do introduce him.

Sorry folks… not really travel related, but this video never seizes to amuse me! The poor guy trying to separate these two idiotic girls finally gave up after getting bitch slapped.
