Vegetarian Street Food, China Town, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Food Food Food Malaysia

Posted on May 9, 2012April 25, 2025

It seems that Malaysians are very passionate about their food. The three days that I have spent here, I must have gained five kilos. I am glad I am going to the the Everest Base Camp trek after this, hopefully I will lose some of this weight. The food in the picture was clicked at the China Town in KL. Non-vegetarian food is the preferred one but as a vegetarian I have done fine.

What I am worried about is the amount of food I am consuming particularly sweets. I think I have polished off two full plates of sweets, a plate of pasta, some rice and fruits and more rice and more sweets. When I talk to the people here they say they are very fond of food and they have to have various meals, so they think I am behaving normally. Looks like I am picking up the habit. And to top it off I drink the tea without sugar, as if it would make any difference! At the same time I am craving for another of those cakes.

I wish I had a few more days in Malaysia! It is too soon to say goodbye.

    Have you tried the local desserts yet ? Like Chendol etc? And did you come across any Mock Meat Veg stalls? Mock meat is popular in KL…Its made of Soya but called Saiva(Veg in Tamil) Kozhi(Chicken), Saiva Mutton etc 😀

    Dear Mridula,

    I liked the veg greens pic, looks so fresh and must have kinds. Glad you enjoyed the food and put on some extra kilos:) Good that the Malaysians are passionate for food, why not? Best wishes for your Everest base camp trek. Hope you shed those extra kilos:).

    Good luck, Vandana.
