Café

So I love reading personal blogs. I have been enjoying Substacks and blogs I found but lately I am longing for more diversity. Almost all the blogs I can find are from the West.

Can any of you recommend me any good personal blogs written by South East Asians (especially Malaysians) or other Asians? I seem to find that Malaysians like to blog about three things: Food, politics and money 😂 I prefer not to read those, tho food doesn't hurt I suppose but will get a bit tired after a while

I prefer genuinely personal blogs that are slice of life stuff. If you know of any please recommend to me! 🙏

Not sure if I should post in Cafe or another community, please let me know if I should post elsewhere ><

I first came across the book in 2017, bought it and was immediately hooked by the story.

Years passed, and when they announced the casts for the series, I was skeptical (I'm not a big movie/TV person) as I knew nothing about Michael Sheen and David Tennant.

Decided to give it a try, and boy, it's so good. Everyone is so perfectly casted.

Hi guys, I failed my automatic driving test today and my parents told me to just bribe as they think im being failed for being white lol?? Is this actually a thing here?? What do I even say??

To work or to go to the Mph warehouse sale at Summit, USJ - that's the question 😁

My mum left the car door open and walked away, she came back to my dog sitting at the front seat. Attempts to get her out proved futile.

Random news but saja sharing, because apparently those opposing it been calling the scheme their 1MDB. So uh, terima kasih bossku. Eg: Filipinos slam Marcos’ sovereign fund idea amid fears it could end up like Malaysia’s 1MDB

直播带货in Mandarin. I mean it's just an online and sometimes indie version of CJ Wowshop💀 right? What kind of people want to watch it and actually loving it?

Translation: "Met these little fellow on my morning walk. Guess who are they?"

Found this cutie crawling on a rock at St Pisang yesterday. Decided to pick him up for some photos, which ended up drawing a crowd and some curious (and scared) stares.

“From personal experience, we realised that many shoe brands were stylish, but they weren’t very comfortable for long-term wear, whilst the shoes that are comfortable didn’t have great designs,” they explained.

However, the public’s fashion preferences changed post-pandemic. Instead of heels, they noticed that Malaysians were looking for chic shoes that didn’t sacrifice ease and comfort.

Not much details are provided sadly. Anyone know more about this event?

I’m currently using the DeLonghi EC860 which I bought when I didn’t know that much about making espresso. Now I realise that pressure is not great and the steaming wand doesn’t do great foam for express and the so-called automatic cappuccino system is superfluous. In the last year or soi got myself a grinder, replaced the ports filter with a bottomless non-pressurised one, and got myself a separate milk frother, and my coffee has been awesome.

Seems that the machine is acting up quite a bit lately and it may be time for a replacement. Any suggestions for a somewhat entry level machine with some additional options? I don’t want to have to figure out pressure and so on each time, and it doesn’t need to have a built in grinder. A good steaming wand would be nice. Most mornings I make a 3shot cappuccino for myself, but on weekends make another cup for my wife, and occasionally my parents if they come over for a visit (my current one seems to overheat after the 3rd shot nowadays).

Preferably not to pricey, around the same-ish price range?

LARGEST FOREST RESERVE IN NEGERI SEMBILAN

The awe-inspiring Taman Negeri Kenaboi is a destination that should undoubtedly be on the must-see list for tourists when visiting Malaysia.

For the intrepid nature lovers, there is something glorious about spending their vacation at the park; the lush green forest transports you from the stress of daily life into a strange, solemn calm.
