Viewing Notes

Another Globe Trekker one-off for their Planet Food series. Admittedly I did request this bc of Merrilees Parker, the host / traveller. She’s great and just like in the Planet Food: Japan edition, she’s smart yet inquisitive and doesn’t always like everything put in front of her face (to eat). And yeah Malaysia would be a neat place to visit. I’m totally down for all the weird food.
