Malaysia After 20 Years — First Impressions and Food Adventures

What happens when you leave behind comfort, routine, and predictability — to start afresh on the other side of the world?

That’s exactly what we’re about to find out. We’ve packed two suitcases, booked a one-way ticket, and set off to explore life in Malaysia — a place we last lived in more than 20 years ago.

In this episode, we revisit old memories, discover incredible Malaysian food, and soak in the atmosphere of SS15’s hawker stalls. From nasi lemak and char kway teow to ais kacang, satay, and Portuguese egg tarts, every bite feels like home — and every moment reminds us why we fell in love with this country decades ago.

Follow along as we start a brand-new chapter, explore Malaysia and beyond, one town (and one meal) at a time, and rediscover the joy of the unexpected.
