Sweet. I’ll arrive in Malaysia early morning, so here’s a midnight blog update! :) To follow the past 2 blog entries on all things Malaysia, here’s another one. And I might be biased, but Malaysia is really all about food. Today, though, I’ll focus on something sugary sweet.

One of my friends is currently learning (and mastering, I should say) the art of cake decorating. She’s always been great at making and baking, so it’s great to see her prettifying her cakes. Recently, she mentioned a blog of another cake decorator who lives in Malaysia. The lady started small as well, but as of early June, she’s got herself a store in KL. Delectable: Designer cakes & more. Pretty name, it also means delicious.

And it’s not just a pretty name. The cakes and cupcakes are all decorated beautifully, just take a look at some of their offerings and you’ll be amazed…

If you live near The Gardens Mall, Mid Valley City (I hope this makes sense to you), you are lucky enough to be able to see her creations live. And of course, I’ll be in Malaysia in a few hours, so I wouldn’t mind visiting the store myself, if I have time (and space in my tummy to try some of these cuties).

I will be in Malaysia tomorrow. So, similar to yesterday’s post, I am again posting another KL-related blog. This will be my second time in Malaysia, and one thing I have in mind? Food. I’ve heard good things about food in Malaysia. Despite having a bit of an upset stomach last time around, I will again venture into the hawkers and mamak places and taste the goodness of Malaysian food for the next 2 days before I fly to London.

Many of my Malaysian mates have recommended or talked about Steven’s Corner. What it is, I don’t know. I’m expecting some sort of a hawkers heaven with thousands of choices just around the corner. But who cares about the look of the place, show me the food…

Yes. Food glorious food indeed. By the way, check out Sugar Sugar Bean Bean blog (I borrowed the above photos from this blog anyway). PS: Steven’s Corner even got a website! Wow, high tech mamak store. But it’s pretty much a placeholder website as for now. Anyways, I can’t wait to eat eat eat.

Sweet Martabak: murthabak for the sweet tooth

You know what I’d love to have right now? Warm sweet martabak filled with chocolate sprinkles, cheese, peanuts, and a whole lotta butter – cooked right in front of me by one of the abang-abang (stall seller). If you’re not an Indonesian, you probably don’t know what I’m talking about. So let me share the goodness of sweet martabak

The sweet martabak is basically an Indonesian interpretation of the famous Indian dish called murthabak. Unlike the murthabak which has vegetables filling and is savoury, sweet martabak is – surprise, surprise – sweet! And the filling ranges too, as there are plenty of choices for you. My preference is choc, cheese, and nuts. Although, I do like the cheese only servings too.

Trust me, these things are yummy. So if you happen to be in Indonesia either for travel or business or whatever reason, don’t forget to try a piece of sweet martabak! You’ll sure want more.
