Do believe Simmie summarize most of it. WHat do they want in Local food. Genuine or food court type. For expat i think the first think they think of is hygiene, so places like Alor, Masjid India is out. Same goes to all the market places. So, that will leave only restaurant and food court. Great Idea on checking Boo's and Babe's blog. They have lots of post for local food. Bring them to SS2 , can kau tim lots of food. Malay, chinese, mamak, foreign, all have what.

I remember bringing my American cousin for her first mamak yum char. She got so sick that she had to stay in bed for days! On her next trip to Malaysia, she was ready. She brought several industrial size bottle of Pepto-Bismol with her!HAHHAHAHA It's best if they (the expats) have a Malaysian friend to bring them around. It might be a little difficult for them to order a particular dish if there's no menu (most local restaurants don't have them) or communication barriers I called my dad and we compiled a list of places that we think your friends might like 1) Raju - roti canai - by Jln Gasing/La Salle School 2) Achar - banana leaf rice - Taman Petaling, section 5/near Jalan Gasing/Gasing Condos 3) Ipoh Chicken Rice - Jln Gasing 4) Bangsar Mamak - Saiful Nasi Lemak or the store next to it, very nice roti bom 5) Stadium Steamboat - Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, steamboat, nice chilli sauce, seafood, fried rice and grilled chicken wings 6) SS2 food court, night market on Monday nights - try the lok lok (center of the food court), ice kacang (store #41, near the front entrance) 7) Ah hee Ba Kut Teh or the store next to it on Jln Imbi, I think it's called Sun Hong (both shops are good) 8) Imbi Palace - very good dim sum, near to shopping malls 9) Kampung Pandan Nasi Kandar - either at Central Market (easier access) or Kg Pandan 10) Imbi Market, near #8 Imbi Palace- go during the morning for Hai lam tea with toast. Also, try their wonton noodles. 11) PJ State, shop lots along Menara MPPJ - Seafood Porridge, next to UOB Bank; Duck Rice, open during the evening 12) Hokkien Mee - corner of the T junction at the back of Petaling Street, open during the evening (the place looks a little dodgy but if you're worried about safety, try #12 13) Hokkien Mee at Jln 222 kopitiam, Restaurant Ah Hwa , open during the evening 14) Kajang Satay - opposite the polis station, I think it's called Malaysian restaurant, order the satay and nothing else 15) Roast Duck - it's in one of the corner kopitiam in Paramount, opposite some car repair/accessories shop 16) Kueh Teow soup noodles - the corner store kopitiam opposite the gas station/near the traffic lights 17) Pisang Goreng in SS2, during afternoons - look out for a little truck parked in the parking lot along the shoplots opposite McDonald's, I think it's by Bank Simpanan If I was back in KL, I'd be glad to bring them to all these places but unfortunately I'm stuck here. If your friends have any questions, they can email me at simmieng@gmail.com. My dad volunteered to bring them eat all those places and lots of good food if they'd be willing to sponsor him! LOL!
