Wondering whatโs happening in the old town of Kuala Lumpur today?
A vibrant parade, mesmerizing lion dances, and captivating performances are taking place at the historic Sin Sze Si Ya Temple, the first Chinese temple in Kuala Lumpur, which boasts a remarkable 160-year legacy!
This year marks a significant milestoneโthe templeโs 160th anniversary. Interestingly, the Jian Jiao ritual, celebrated just once since 1948, is making its grand return after 76 years! In the early days, a parade was held every seven years, with the last one taking place in 1961โ63 years ago! Today, we proudly witness this long-awaited parade once again. ๐
The Qi An Da Jiao ritual is a special occasion that isnโt held annually; it wasnโt celebrated last year, nor will it be next year. This truly is a historic moment for Kuala Lumpur!

Are you ready for a culinary adventure with a twist? ๐
If you're exploring the street food scene in Yangon, Myanmar, then you might stumble upon a unique delicacy - palm weevil larvae!
๐ Known locally as "duwe hmyo chet", these plump grubs are a traditional snack enjoyed for their creamy texture and slightly nutty flavour. They're often sold by street vendors, either skewered and grilled or stir-fried with spices.
While the thought of eating insects might seem unusual to some, palm weevil larvae are a nutritious and sustainable source of protein. They are often harvested from fallen palm trees, where they naturally feed on the decaying wood. ๐ชต
Some describe the taste as similar to a mix of coconut and bacon, with a surprisingly satisfying richness. If you're a foodie with a daring palate, trying palm weevil larvae in Yangon is an authentic way to experience the diverse flavours of Burmese cuisine. ๐คค
๐ Would you give these grubs a try? Let us know in the comments! ๐๐ผ

๐ถ๏ธ Centuries ago, this maritime passage was a bustling hub of trade, where merchants from distant lands voyaged in search of precious spices. The allure of Malaysia's aromatic treasures drew traders from across the globe, enriching the nation's cultural tapestry.
The spice trade played a pivotal role in shaping Malaysia's history, fueling economic prosperity and fostering cultural exchange. It was through these maritime routes that exotic spices like cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon found their way to Malaysian shores, influencing local cuisines and traditions. ๐ถ
Malaysia's strategic location made it a vital link in the Spice Route, attracting traders from Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. This convergence of cultures gave rise to vibrant port cities like Melaka and Penang, where merchants bartered spices and exchanged ideas, leaving an indelible mark on the country's heritage.
Today, the legacy of the Spice Route lives on in Malaysia's culinary landscape, where fragrant spices continue to infuse dishes with their rich flavors. Let's journey through time and savor the essence of Malaysia's Spice Route! ๐ซ
