Although the durian season may be over, our love for the King of Fruits will never fade! The thorny green fruit and its delectable yellow centre is a delight for many and a must-have for any occasion. Surprise your friends this Malaysia Day by sending over some durian with our Durian lens!

Add sambal on your Nasi Lemak for some extra spice in your life

Nasi Lemak is a typical Malay-styled dish that can be enjoyed any time of the day. Made with fragrant coconut rice and many side dishes of your choice, the savoury dish comes together to make one tasty meal. Much like Malaysia, which is united by many different backgrounds.

What's so special about Kuih Lapis? For a lot of us, it's the excitement from peeling each layer of the kuih perfectly when eating it. Just like the kuih, there are so many layers to our culture and history.
