I personally love the banana apam balik; they are very generous with the bananas, and the outer layer is crispy, making it very satisfying to eat🤭🤭

[Curry Mee]
This stall is a bit on the heavier side, with a stronger coconut milk flavor and a rich broth.

You should give it a try~ It’s delicious, with many options for toppings.

🌈Finally, I recommend a guide for filling out the Malaysia e-Card! It’s more convenient than the official website. It took two hours on the official site, but with this method, it was done in less than a minute! The specific filling instructions are at the end of the pictures!

With these suggestions, I believe you can travel smoothly in Malaysia. Have a pleasant journey!
