Living in Malaysia, I felt that There are so many seafood restaurants 🔥 When I used to travel to Southeast Asia, I used to eat mainly the main menu or recommended menus at famous places, but now I try to try various menus ☺️ Since crab and shrimp are so famous, it was hard to choose grilled fish or steamed fish as a menu that I could not fail at, but these days, I eat so well that I always order a fish dish when I go to a restaurant 👍

#cherryblossom2024 Kuu By Tea Garden is the ideal place to head to for a local Malaysian Style Breakfast or meal. Here you can get your Malaysian style coffee or tea. I ordered their 3 layers tea which has a great balance of milk, tea and gula melaka, the tea was sweet and milky which I love. Their fried carrot cake had a lot of flavour and it was absolutely delicious. We also had their dim sum such as har gow and siew mai, but these were mediocre. Try their chilli Lou She Fan, which is spicy with a punch, and also their springy wanton noodles. These were really good. The cafe a great environment and we enjoyed our meal here. Highly recommended!
