I was in Labuan back in May, and brought some durian chocolate home to Northern Europe. I was the only one who liked it. Most who tried it found the faint fart smell upon opening the pack off-putting for some reason.

Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Yeah I heard! I’ve been to their original shop in Ipoh old town, which is still around. The chain itself… well, it’s a restaurant chain but I hope they are able to keep it up to standards :)

Dahfa, a fish snack. Or Wanfa, the copycat?
My reluctant British friends tried it and found the snack interesting, when they were not so keen on trying unfamiliar food. I think I like Dahfa the most myself, although I haven't bought it for a long time. Expensive now, RM16 a pack when it used to be RM6 in the past.
I think our soy sauce or kicap is the best. Gula Melaka, Gula Apong syrup. Malaysian instant noodles.
@anotherlemmyuser Yeah Gula Melaka and Gula Apong gives us wonderful drinks and desserts like cendol and three layer tea! The more adventurous can probably get some belacan or other shrimp-based products.

wut? that's very weird lol. i know we buy chocolate containing alcohol in dutyfree place(like langkawi), but didn't know they also come here to buy chocolate.
@Annoyed_Crabby Haha I know about this because I once stumbled on one of the chocolate factories hidden in some housing area near Bukit Bintang, with lots and lots of tourist buses parked outside…
