We started our time in Malaysia with a bus from Singapore to Melaka, a UNESCO World Heritage City. The city was celebrating the Lunar New Year, with decorations everywhere to complement the colorful architecture and lovely street art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melaka has a long and difficult history. In the last ~600 years, the Portuguese, the Dutch, and the British have all been oppressors. As a result, their architectural and religious influence still shows through today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We were looking at a church from the 1700s, finding directions to a Buddhist temple from the 1600s, and heard the call to prayer from the mosque built in the 1700s across the street. Many of the mosques have Sumatran architecture, with the minarets somewhat resembling pagodas. The Buddhist temples are similar to the architecture style found in China. There are churches resembling Portuguese and Dutch churches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kuala Lumpur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I wasn’t sure what to expect in KL. Growing up, I always wanted to visit KL (no idea why my brain was focused on KL – must have been mentioned on the Travel Channel a lot). But, while traveling, we ran into quite a few people with some harsh comments on the city. They claimed it was dirty and not really worth your time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those people are 99% wrong. Kuala Lumpur is quite dirty, but it was worth every day we were able to give. It is a city full of hidden gems. Wander down an alley and there is amazing street art. Dare to enter a door with a random (but cute) logo and find some of delicious matcha in a crazy sleek setup. Go down the hallway in the shopping center and find a Michelin-recommended meal for ~$15. Meander up the stairs and find a speakeasy with some of the most creative cocktails in the world. Walk into an art gallery, follow your nose, find a line of 50 people in the back, and discover that some of the best pastries in the city are randomly hidden where few tourists are ever going to venture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a city full of delights for anyone willing to look and is one of my favorite places we’ve visited. Here are some of our favorite things we found – <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kwai Chai Hong<\/strong> is a slightly hidden alley full of lovely street art, cute shops and restaurants, and places to play mahjong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food<\/strong> in KL is a delight. It is another part of the world where Michelin gives stars to street food vendors up to fine dining restaurants. A few of our favorite places we ate – <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
The Hunger Tapir – a vegetarian restaurant with fried “chicken” (mushrooms) that are the best we’ve ever had <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Limapulo: Baba Can Cook – a place that specializes in local food and is always packed. We got their signature Nyonya laksa and top hats. Both were absolutely divine. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Sao Nam Vietnamese Cuisine – a Michelin rec Vietnamese restaurant. Delicious food and wonderful coffee. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Niko Neko Matcha – a local tea shop with fantastic matcha. I found it when googling “best matcha in the world” after leaving Japan with a ridiculous love of matcha. if I hadn’t saved it in google maps, there is no way I would have found this place or dared walk in. It looks nothing from the outside, but is a lovely place with great matcha once you find it. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Dewakan<\/strong> translates to “food from God”. It is a 2 Michelin star restaurant with a great view. The chef used to work at Noma and that really shows through in the food and drinks. Garums, kombuchas, and many other forms of fermented deliciousness abound. We loved the meal (pigeon brains excluded – we have a strict no-brain policy, no matter the restaurant). My favorite dish was the smoked patin (type of catfish native to SE Asia). Carey’s favorite was the creative eggs and honey dish. The egg had been fermented in a sardine garum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Penang<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Penang is one of the main tourist destinations in Malaysia. The island is full of lovely nature, interesting history, and is home to some of the best food in the world. I’m not being hyperbolic – the local specialty of assam laksa is consistently ranked as one of the best foods in the world and we somehow inadvertently only ate at Michelin-recommended restaurants the entire time we were visiting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malaysia is also home to massive Lunar New Year celebrations. The celebrations go for 15 days and we were in Penang for the last few days of the holiday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our favorite thing we did in Penang was visit the Kek Lok Si Temple<\/strong> during their light show celebrating the New Year. It is the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. It took us almost 3 hours to explore (for context – most temples take us ~30 minutes to 1 hour). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few of our other favorite things while in Penang – <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The street art<\/strong> around Georgetown, the capital of Penang, is incredibly famous. There are a few iconic pieces (the kiddos on the a swing, the old motorcycle, etc.), but many others have been added over the years. We loved wandering down random streets and running into beautiful pieces of art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgetown is also very religiously diverse.

Food highlights – <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Auntie Gaik Lean’s Old School Eatery is home to the most delicious rice I have ever had and she received a Michelin star for that particular dish (Nasi Ulam). It cost about USD 30 to try 5 of her fantastic dishes – the cheapest Michelin-starred (not just recommended, but starred) meal I have ever seen. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Little India Famous Samosa is an inconspicuous hawker stall with a Michelin rec. The samosas are some of the most delicious I have ever had and it cost less than 75 cents for 3. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Bao Teck Tea House is a classic Cantonese dim sum restaurant with an impressive tea menu. Carey adores dim sum and loved this place. I was a big fan of the pandan and coconut bao. They also have a Michelin rec. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Jawi House Cafe Gallery received a Michelin rec for their biryani. We tried the jackfruit and it was absolute heaven. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
China House is home to the most impressive kombucha menu I have ever seen. They took over an old shophouse and turned it into a coffee shop\/bakery\/wine bar\/cafe\/art gallery\/library (all depending on the room you wander into). The most creative booch we tried was the mandarin and sarawak pepper. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Speakeasies are also popular in Penang. Magazine 63 has an adorable setup and Backdoor Bodega was ranked among the Top 100 bars in Asia. To reach Backdoor Bodega, we had to venture through a clothing store to reach the bar. They had a creative take on a gimlet fashioned after the assam laksa, a local special, that included shrimp paste. While it wouldn’t be my normal drink pick, it was definitely interesting to try. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Langkawi is another place that has been on a lot of “up-and-coming travel destination” lists. It is an archipelago of 99 islands, with the main island about a 40-minute flight from Penang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we were beach people, we probably would have loved this place. We are not beach people and it was so hot I got heat exhaustion one evening. While it was not my favorite place, we found a few things we really enjoyed – <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mangroves<\/strong> are incredible. They are a UNESCO site and are some of the tallest in the world. The area is home to monkeys, eagles, crabs, and mud fish that walk through the mud on their flippers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
