We made it to Melaka for New Years Eve, where the pussycats sleep in tangles, musical Hello Kitty rickshaws rule the streets and we find the remains of great civic building projects, both good and bad, old and new.

B-Kyu travels: A quick stopover in Johor Baru ~ Malaysia

Johor Baru - just over the border from Singapore, with the longest customs wait in the world.

B-Kyu Food Tour of Penang ~ Lamb soup, dosai, curry mee and Line Clear nasi kandar

Our trip to Penang was an auspicious occasion as it was 20 years since Shawn's first visit here, almost to the day. And Penang was the place that really sparked this food obsession.

On our last day we do a lap of some favourites and seek an audience with the king of the roasters, Kenny.

Imbi market morning, Port Klang midday adventure and a nighty-night satay and seafood feast.

Kuala Lumpur Tour Day 4

High tea, low tea & mee.

Kuala Lumpur Tour Day 3

On the third day of our KL tour we chow down in Chow Kit, lunch at KLCC, eat out of toilets and end the night bowling. As anyone would do on a holiday.

Kuala Lumpur Tour Day 2 ~ Imbi, Chinatown & An Old Kopitiam

We devour all three main food groups in one day: Malay, Indian and Chinese, but we won't admit to having Western food for dinner.

Kuala Lumpur Tour ~ Day 1 - Jalan Alor

A week of Street Food feasting in Kuala Lumpur starts with a great Chinese feed at the legendary eat street, Jalan Alor.
