Street Food and other culinary delights

Most people know that I could talk about food for hours, so it's no wonder that I went on a culinary adventure in Singapore and Malaysia. Of course, everything was vegetarian, as expected. I got by just fine with my 'no meat, no seafood' diet ;)

Breakfast just the way I like it :)

A typical combination in Malaysia - Matcha and red beans! It sounds strange, but it was really good!

This is one of the traditional kuih in Malaysia (kuih stands for cake/pastry). It's usually made from sweet potato or glutinous rice flour, the green color comes from pandan leaf juice, filled with 'Gula Melaka' or palm sugar (liquid core) and rolled in fresh coconut flakes.

I could post more photos, but I think these photos are enough for now :) 

None of the items cost more than 2.50 euros, and 2.50 euros was more of the price for the 'Western' dishes! The absolute highlights of the local dishes for me were the Nyonya, the vegetarian satay (mentioned above), and the

Super affordable and absolute culinary delights!
