Malaysia Airlines has teamed up with MasterChef and best-selling author, Poh Ling Yeow to launch a new video series highlighting the best food spots in Kuala Lumpur.
Uploaded to Youtube, the series is one of five videos, with each running for over eight minutes.
In the fourth video [directly below] Poh tries several dishes around the city including breakfast dishes like Nasi Lemak – a coconut rice based dish flavoured with cucumbers, eggs and spices.
She takes viewers to Essence in the Sheraton Imperial, where she says has a variety of Malaysian dishes that showcase a blend Indian, Chinese and traditional Malay cuisines in one location.
