Sometimes, the best sights are the ones right outside our doorstep and these eight creators are showing us just that.

From documenting the charm of little towns to uncovering lesser-known ingredients and flavours, these creators we love show us a their own perspectives of the place we call home.

From muddy confluence to modern capital, Kuala Lumpur has never stood still. Born at the meeting of two rivers, the city has grown on grit, memory and constant reinvention.

This May, KL opens its streets, stories and stages once again.

A celebration of creativity, cultures and communities - a city of confluence where we honour where we’ve been and imagine where we’re going next.

Are you ready to step into the story?

Had a random idea to have a Khao jam night when @kiakia.places said she can bring Khao Jam green juice/paste from her hometown, made by John’s grandma (Thank you grandma!)

It is a dish that must be made in big batch to share with friends and families, because the amount of time you put in to cut all the herbs and vegetables need to have high ROI 😂

Here is the list of ingredients we used for toppings.

Toppings
- mackerel fish meat
- salted eggs
- daun kesum (chopped)
- shredded coconut (toasted)
- long beans (chopped)
- wing beans (sliced thinly)
- Japanese Cucumbers (remove seeds, jullienned)
- lemongrass (chopped)
- bean sprouts
- bunga kantan (chopped)
- keropok

Budu dressing
-budu
-red onions
-red chili

Green rice
- can’t pin point the ingredients because grandma foraged 30+ different local plants for the juice

If anyone of you would like to try khao jam, but don’t want make it yourself, get them here:

Morning at Sentul Market is alive with colors and sounds. Vendors selling vegetables, fish, meat, and local food fill the air with rich aromas.

People talking everywhere. Here, vendors know their customers like friends. It’s more than a market, it’s a place where people come to talk, share stories, and feel at home every day.

This is Sentul. This is Malaysia.

Selamat Hari Merdeka 🇲🇾
