On the day that the Year of the Goat ended to make way for the Year of the Monkey, twelve of the Enak team paid a visit to a shopping mall with an uncertain future. Ampang Park – the first shopping mall in Malaysia – has been served notice that it is to be demolished […]
Jan 2016 – Ganga cafe
You could be forgiven if you thought a flock of starlings had invaded the Ganga Café at lunchtime on Thursday. But no, come to think of it, a flock of starlings could never make the amount of noise the ENAKers achieved. Twenty-three women were telling each other how Christmas had been and wishing all and […]
Dec 2015 – Roshono Bilas
With over 500,000 migrant workers expected to move to Malaysia to work here & another 500,000 Bangladeshi Malaysians living here, the Bangladeshi cuisine will surely see more restaurants opening up in Malaysia. However there seems to be few restaurants as of now serving the traditional food of this country. So for December Enak we will tried […]
Nov 2015 – Restaurant Simply Mel’s
November Enak held on Thursday 12th, 2015 at Simply Mel’s at the Sphere in Bangsar South was a fun event.

Sep 2015 – Restoran Wan Fo Yuan
Peggy De Silva and I planned for the September Enak at Restoran Wan Fo Yuan at No 8 Jalan Panggong in Chinatown. This part of Chinatown is proving to be a pretty interesting ‘foodie’ enclave with the Malaya Hainan Restaurant down the road and the Old China Cafe on the adjacent street. We checked out […]

On Thursday August 13, 2015 twelve MCG members and one guest from Scotland enjoyed lunch at Malaya Hainan, not far from Chinatown near Pasar Seni. The restaurant has been open for only a year and is housed in a former post office. The owners spent a few years renovating and restoring the building which has […]
July 2015 – Ramadhan Bazaar at Kampung Baru
Few cities in the world have a village right in the middle of the capital city & Kuala Lumpur has Kampung Baru just a stone’s throw away from the city centre. Reached easily by the LRT, Kampung Baru is very much a still lived in village. Which is probably the reason why it has still […]
