Have you ever come back from holiday just craving for nasi lemak or roti canai?

What if you get that craving while STILL on your holiday? We’ve got you covered.

When in Rome

Do as the Romans do.

Or, eat as a Malaysian does. Because there’s only so long a true Malaysian can go without sambal belacan or petai.

So, as you plan the itinerary for your next holiday, why not include these Malaysian restaurants?
