Now that the Prime Minister announced that Malaysia will be going back to normal in spite of the high number of cases, the flood gates have indeed reopened. This announcement comes hand-in-hand with the school holidays so it's vacation central all over the country, that's for sure!
And since we are all truly Malaysian, no vacation is complete without a food hunt. But after all the snacking we've been doing throughout the past few COVID-19 years, maybe it's time to cut down on some calories!
