Merdeka series | Best recipes, foods and travel

Merdeka series

August 31st is Malaysia’s Independence Day. Do you know that you can get the dates of National Day from the CIA website? Cool ya? From A-Z, all the countries (well, many countries) are listed including independent from who/which country.

Well, actually I wanted to be a little patriotic and learn more about Malaysia. But I doubt I have the time to share everything from 1st August till 31st August.

However, I have re-sized 31 photos of hibiscus which is the national flower of Malaysia to post them here. I will post one each day (well, hopefully). These photos are taken by me, from various locations in Penang. Whenever I have the time, I will slot in some facts about Malaysia.

    • Caunterhall Road : Chinese satay
      Satay or skewered meat grilled over charcoal fire is probably a Malaysian signature foods. Tourists to Malaysia and other parts of South East Asia have to at least eat satay if they are here. It is non-spicy, full of flavours and it is always fun to gobble down those meats on sticks. Generally, Malays [...]
    • Bayan Baru : Ayam Bawang nasi kandar
      We call this place Jalan Tengah flats but I am not sure what is the actual name of this place. It is the block of flats at the corner of Jalan Tengah and Bayan Baru. They have a lot of hawker stalls, both in the morning, during the day and at night. At night, [...]
