Vincent Lim

The name’s Vincent, and if you couldn’t already tell, I’m absolutely mad about Malaysian food. Like, legit obsessed. Some people dream about tropical beaches or partying all night – I fantasize about stuffing my face with the most mind-blowing dishes this country has to offer. Pretty weird huh? But I wouldn’t have it any other way!

See, I’m a true blue Malaysian foodie, born and raised. While most kids had posters of celebrities or athletes on their walls, I was pinning up pictures of sizzling satay and kaya toast. My friends would beg their parents for the latest video games or toys – I just wanted them to take me to try nasi kerabu or laksa Sarawak. You could say I was wired differently right from the start.

Over the years, my intense passion for Malaysian cuisine has only grown stronger. I love exploring hole-in-the-wall eateries and chatting with aunties and uncles about their special family recipes. I can spend hours browsing wet markets and experimenting with rare herbs and ingredients. While most people schedule their vacations around sightseeing or relaxation, I plan entire trips around visiting out-of-the-way restaurants!

My wife jokes I have a stomach lined with adamantium, because I can eat spicy Malaysian fare all day without flinching. I take that as a badge of honor! The thrill of digging into a steaming plate of curry mee or sambal squid keeps me feeling young. Whenever I meet a fellow Malaysian food fanatic, my eyes light up like a child on Raya morning.

As a blogger, I hope to spotlight the sheer diversity of Malaysian food and encourage people to go beyond the usual suspects. Each state has so many treasures to uncover, from Kelantan’s flavorful ayam percik to Terengganu’s unreal homemade keropok. I also aim to showcase local eateries and hawkers that don’t get enough attention, so people know where to find the good stuff.

At the end of the day, Malaysian cuisine is all about bringing people together. Few things compare to the joy of gathering around a shared spread of nasi lemak, laksa, and other comforting favorites. This food has soul – you can taste the love, community and history in every bite.

So if you ever meet a dude who can’t stop raving about rendang or wants to discuss teh tarik for hours…that’s probably me. Maybe we can geek out about our favorite dishes together! After all, a passion for Malaysian food brings people closer. It definitely fuels me each day to keep exploring this bottomless well of flavors.
