VISITING HAVOC FOOD FEST AT UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MALAYSIA

   24TH OCTOBER 2026    ~ There was a Food Fest held at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. My regular gastronomic adventurer decided to visit the venue, to see if there was anything interesting. This was my very first time going to a Food Fest. I did not really fancy such event as, firstly, the food prices were usually higher and secondly, there was always a huge crowd.

The last time we were at the same exact venue was in February, when there was an expo for the upcoming Eid festival. [READ HERE]

There were many stalls selling all kinds of food, especially modern and trending delicacies. At the same time, there were also people selling other non-edible items at the Food Fest.

Mr. Redzuan got some food to take home for lunch and dinner as well. I, on the other hand, did not buy anything as I was still full from lunch that I had had [READ HERE] before going there.

The only ex-student [of SMK Taman Universiti] that I met was Mr. Radin Mohd. Fauzan who was accompanied by his wife.

I have to compliment myself for being resistant to all the temptations at the event. Things might have been different if I had not eaten at that time though.

MY HOMETOWN GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - THAI FOOD FEST AT U-MALL TAMAN PULAI UTAMA

I was at this Thai Food Fest held at U-Mall Taman Pulai Utama, without any prior plan. I saw some people posting about this event and decided to have a look during the angklung practice break in the afternoon.

There were may stalls, selling all kinds of food and drinks - and a few stalls were actually selling the same food items.

Look at what I got today:

(1) Fried Maggi (instant noodle) RM5 - fried in soy sauce without any vegetable, chicken, meat or seafood. Not spicy at all. *sad*

(2) Cococnut Shake RM5 - the size is big but there was more blended ice than coconut water. *double sadness*

(3) Mango with sticky rice and coconut milk RM7 - fortunately this dessert was alright, done like the way it should.

I will have definitely to return to Thailand for its halal food one of these days.
