Hungry Foodie KL is a testament to what the vast Kuala Lumpur food landscape has to offer.

Besides food, it also covers other facets of leisure throughout the city, including staycations so you can extend your foodie adventurese overnight in one of KL's lively pockets. 

Trisha Toh's Instagram feed is truly a feast for the eyes. Being a food stylist and art director, Toh knows what makes or breaks a dish and her account is a direct reflection of that.
