Food is an integral part of wellbeing. It's also one of the gateway into local culture, eye to the soul of a nation and such good conversation starter. Being a born and bred Malaysian 🇲🇾, breathing almost 2/3 of my existence here, there is so much I know yet alot full I am not aware of in this cultural melting pot of Southeast Asia. We are multilinguil and 101 dialect speaking nation with cross marriages dating many generations. We have been colonised by the British 🇬🇧, Portuguese 🇵🇹 and Dutch 🇱🇺 including the Japanese 🇯🇵 during WW2. We share close proximity with Thailand 🇹🇭 to the north, Singapore 🇸🇬 at southern tip, border Brunei 🇧🇳, and Indonesia 🇮🇩 at Borneo with the excitement of upcoming Nusantara at Kalimantan. South China Sea is where we savour exotic seafoods with the Philippines 🇵🇭 and Vietnam 🇻🇳. In my chosen profession, I have been fortunate experiencing different cultures on vacation, visiting or hosting colleagues. It never fail to intrigue me each time yet I realised there is so much more I need to learn about my country Malaysia. A recent return to East Malaysia, Borneo is a stark reminder cultural curiosity doesn't necessarily lead to cultural awareness. While I am the former, the latter will likely enhance one's experience. My journey of bridging not knowing to awareness is unlearning to re-learn. Immersing adventure 2025 with much excitement! #PreppedforTomorrow #TransformativeAgility #GOTFL
