A few reasons for you to visit Malaysia this season and the big one is current Mega Sale Carnival happening now in Malaysia. Since it’s Ramadhan, the bazaar Ramadhan is back again around Klang Valley and yes, they are known for their great food. The Ramadhan Bazaar ends on 19th August 2012.

The food at Kampung Sungai Penchala (off Taman Tun Dr Ismail, PJ) is superb. Look out for the dessert selection here as it is pretty immense. Queues of people always snake around the murtabak vendor (with its hearty fillings of meat and egg) and Kelantanese food stalls. The nearby TTDI bazaar (along Jalan Tun Mohd Fuad 3 and 4) is a good alternative. Succulent roast lamb is paired with roti arab and you can find an old favourite too – smoky, scrumptious ayam percik.

Or perhaps you want to try the Kampung Baru bazaar (Jalan Raja Bot, KL) where you can find deep fried items such as stick – crabs, fish balls, quail’s eggs and fishcakes. If you crave for rendang tok and pulut durian, this is the right place. If you want Ayam Golek, then head over to Kelana Jaya (Jalan SS6/1).

Two more places that I want to highlight are Shah Alam and Bandar Tun Razak. At Shah Alam, the bazaar is located at Section 13 next to Melawati Stadium and it sells glorious ikan bakar, tempoyak and roti john. The cendol is quite well known too and it’s cheap.

The Bandar Tun Razak market (Taman Tasik Permaisuri carpark, Jalan Yaacob Latif, off Jalan Loke Yew) abound with Kelantanese delights (small treats like beko and akok) and you can pack in a full meal at the nasi kukus ayam dara stall. If you find yourself in PJ, look out for the Section 14 bazaar (Jalan 14/28) and indulge in popiah basah, sup tulang and kerang bakar.

So peeps. If you happen to be in KL, these bazaars are a must visit to satisfy your craves for local food.

Cecilia of IA Salon and the management team and the children of Fun Bee Park visited the RIPAS

Did you know that every year IA Salon visits RIPAS hospital during the month of Ramadhan? One reason is to bring the spirit of “caring and sharing” to the children and mothers at the said hospital.

It was also good to see children from Fun Bee Park to show their support in the activities at RIPAS. What they did was they helped bake cookies and packed them for goodies for the patients in RIPAS.

IA Salon and Fun Bee Park gave away children’s bag (150 of them) containing of art crafts made by Fun Bee Park staff, stationary, colouring books, toys, candies and dates. At the maternity wards, mothers received Hari Raya hampers with handy art crafts, cookies, dates and toys.
