Market

Apparently KL has a plethora of markets around the city and we visited one that was indeed in the heart of the city.
Our guide shared that we should prepare ourselves for the different ways of food hygiene in this part of the world. It didn’t take long for that to become apparent especially in relation to the flies and lack of refrigeration.
We were exposed to all sorts of different Malaysian foods, fruits and vegetables and had the opportunity to taste some over a cup of tea as well as experiencing some Malaysian desserts.
The Malaysian people who are predominantly Muslim seem very friendly and hospitable and happy especially when you consider the average wage and working conditions.
One of the most confronting aspects of the tour through the market was the amount of plastic bags they use and seem to have no concept of using recyclable carry bags.
Probably my favourite exotic fruit is the rambutan which is like a large lychee with a more distinct taste.
Our guide took us to a local cafe where we experienced locally made roti bread which was delicious.Read more
