The week before Strata+Hadoop World in Singapore, we snuck up the Malaysia for a quick vacation. The food in Malaysia – particularly at hawker (food) courts – was outstanding. We stayed in Petaling Jaya (“PJ”) an area that young professionals and families seem to favor. Below are some highlights:

Selena Malam SS2 Food Court
Wong Ah Wah (or W.A.W.) on Jalan Alor street – the chicken wings are simply amazing:
Other things worth noting: We enjoyed the bird park and the Islamic Arts Museum of Malaysia.
