Malaysia Food Exploration: Curry Puffs
When the heat becomes unbearable in Malaysia, one option is to retreat to an air-conditioned shopping centre.
The Mid Valley Megamall in KL is an immense edifice crammed with shops and food outlets. Connected to it is The Gardens Mall which contains yet more places to spend money, and some good options for food including the Homi Chicken Curry Puff stand.
Malaysia Food Exploration: Jackfruit
At the same market where we had the apam balik, there was a stall where vast jackfruit were being dismantled for sale.
Malaysia Food Exploration: Apam Balik
If anyone has been reading this blog thoroughly and devotedly, they may have detected my fondness for peanuts.

Malaysia Food Exploration: Roselle
On a previous visit to Malaysia in 2008 I asked a local blogger (boo_licious of masak-masak – I can highly recommend her site) for some restaurant suggestions for a celebratory family meal, and one place that came up was Precious Old China in the Central Market.
We went there and had a very enjoyable time, so much so that we returned there on our recent trip just to have a drink.
