I am proud to let everyone out there know that Visit Malaysia 2007 continues with Visit State Year 2008. What delights me is that my state – Kedah, also the state where Malaysia 4th Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mathathir bin Mohamad was born.
Kedah is situated in the Northwestern part of the country, borders with Thailand in the Northeast. It is known as the rice bowl of Malaysia due to vast rice fields found in the state. Not only that, it is also blessed with a famous destination called Langkawi - an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea.
Apart from Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu are the other two states are hosting Visit State Year 2008. These are another two very cultural states and blessed with nice islands in the South China Sea, particularly Terengganu. Whereas Kelantan, not too famous for its islands but lush with paddy fields and fishing villages.
If you plan to travel to the South East Asia some time this year, why don’t you make Malaysia your destination? You will find some useful information if you plan to visit Malaysia.

You are from Kedah…that’s cool. I suspect you were from the northern states when I see the kind of foods you cook.
We are kakilang and I suppose you can speak Penang style Hokkien.

Yup! I am from the state that is just probably 1 hour from your hometown! And yes, some of the food that I cook is very much influenced by Malay and Indian I believe… due to the fact that I love Chilies…
Wuo eh hiao kong Penang Hokkien! That’s the only dialect that I speak apart from some bits and bobs of Teo Chew and Hakka.

As a Malaysian, I am embarrassed to say that I haven't been to Sabah! There are lots of greens in Malaysia and I love it.
