Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me in the Malaysia Kitchen Blogger Summit and helped spread the word throughout August. Which was your favourite post or dish?
The results are out and it’s official – I’m going to Malaysia!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support and encouragement. I feel like I can’t possibly thank you guys enough.
Here’s the final vote count. It’s very exciting! The cats, however, are typically underwhelmed ;)

Whoo! Congrats!
I had just been here looking for this post and re-read the family feast so I could be envious a second time.
I am so glad for you and I can’t wait for the posts that will come from that trip.
Hooray TFP!
Congratulations~!
Fantastic, you deserve this win, I love reading your posts. Well done and great eating :-)
Congrats TFP! I’m so pleased for you. :) Will you be able to take Jac with you or is it just you and the other two bloggers?
Congratulations TFP, you really nailed all 4 reviews among a strong group of bloggers, well deserved!!
Thanks, guys! I’m SO excited just thinking about the eating, the photos, and the writing! Thank goodness I (coincidentally) took today off work – I am terribly distracted right now thinking about all of those things. And of course, what to take on the trip. Any travel tips, anyone? :D
Sally, it will be just the bloggers. But that’s OK. Jac and I can plan another trip. I’d love to go with her to where my old childhood home used to be. You know, sentimental stuff that we wouldn’t have time to do on this MK trip.
Congratulations!
So, you asked for travel tips, and also mentioned being able to be online abroad. I’m in Italy (:D) at the moment, and have solved my lack of internet with a 19€ USB stick and 100hours/month of credit (20€). You can also just get credit on it, though, without the monthly cost, because it has a SIM card inside so you just top it up like any PAYG phone. I got mine with 3 Italia; maybe a Malaysian network has a similar thing?
CONGRATS TFP!! whoohoo!!
:D
Well deserved and I’m so happy for you and jac. This is the first time I’ve ever been proud to have voted and made a difference! Enjoy your upcoming trip! :)
Chinwei,
Everyone’s votes made the difference this time! :D Thank you, I am looking forward to the trip.
Congrats TFP!
I was in fact looking forward to this announcement. I was sure you’ll win though I was one among those unable to vote (not having a facebook account :( I’m eagerly waiting to read about your adventures at Malaysia. Pls plan for a stop over at India :) Or may be another trip? Heartfelt congrats once again.
Thanks, Esther.
It was lovely to know I had lots of support and well-wishers even though not everyone could vote. I’m really looking forward to the trip, though right now it doesn’t quite feel like this is really happening!
Congratulations! This is well deserved, as you run a pretty fantastic blog :)
My favorite post is the Bill Creek Hawker one.
I hope you have lovely time in Malaysia! Congratulations once again!
Thanks, Ellie. I think my personal favourites out of the four would be a tie between Bull Creek Hawker and Old Cathay. But I like all four places we went to. We’ll be returning to all four at one time or another.
Sweet! Can’t wait for your posts from Malaysia!
Thank you, ALittaM!
I am looking forward to sharing it all with you guys!
Congratulations, TFP. You had my vote all the way. Enjoy your trip!
Thanks, Gcroft! It will be my first overseas trip since coming to Australia, so a true adventure!
I’m so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D Thank you!!!
Congras babe!!
Thanks, penny!
Congratulations!!!!!!! I felt that your wonderful blog deserved as many votes as I could give it. I can’t wait to see what your experience is like in Malaysia.
Cheers, Teran.
I’m looking forward to it too. I haven’t left Australian shores since I got here, so it’s all very exciting!
‘grats!! :) you deserve it!!!!
Thank you, hy!
Hi TFP,
I’m a long time reader, and a HUGE fan of your blog. This site has been a delicious escape for me everyday, and I just want to say thank you, and congrats on your trip to Malaysia! U definitely deserve it.
PS, many thanks also to Jac for inspiring me with her gorgeous, colourful meals :)
XOXO from Montreal
Thanks, Sasha, my pleasure! Well, Jac’s too – to cook, then mine to photograph and eat! :) Thanks for being a long-time reader!
Yay!!! :-D I’m so happy for you, TFP!!
My favourite post…it’d be the one which featured the peanut pancakes and that funky shaved-ice dessert with the dollop of creamed corn on top. ;-)
Have fun!!!
Thanks, Cindy!
I thought you’d pick that post! ;)
Well done to you :) I think I’m looking forward to reading the posts from your adventure as much as you are looking forward to going
Thanks, Shell.
Well, I am looking forward to the writing/sharing as much as I am the photographing/eating!
tfp, and when you do take that trip with jac, come on down to singapore – i’d be glad to show u around! have fun in msia!
Thanks sangeeta,
We do want to visit Singapore at some point. Will let you know when we are planning that trip. :)
Yay!!! I am so happy for you! I kind of figured you would be #1 or 2. So excited for your adventures and walk down memory lane. I thought all the posts were great. I’m in NY, but Manhattan has to wait until Sun. Next few days we reunite with Ric’s family at his sisters. Jen flying in tonight! I love it when people are happy!! My travel advice is avoid earthquakes and hurricanes!
Thanks, kathy!
Will keep your travel advice in mind ;)
Hope you are enjoying your vacation and it will only get better!
Congratulations! :) Hope you have a good time and eat lots of amazing food. (Psst…we all know that inside, Billy Lee and Pixel are sad you’re gonna be gone for a bit ;) )
Christle,
Heh. I think they’d miss us if we both went on the trip – but since Jac won’t be going, they’ll have her for company and probably won’t miss me so much. :)
That’s awesome!! Glad my four little votes counted. Thanks for the many meal ideas you’ve inspired. My little secret: I often revisit your family party posts when I’m wondering what to make for a get-together. :)
hannybanny,
Glad to be of assistance for your get-togethers! :)
Thanks for voting for me.
Congratulations TFP, you definately deserve it. Enjoy your trip, and thanks again for visiting our shop.
Thanks! We hope to come back another time when pisang goreng are on the Saturday menu! I also want to try your roti.
sooooooo..when are you going? :D
lolol,
Soon… lots to organise before that!
Congrats! So excited for you and that you won!!! Can’t wait to see all the pics from this adventure!
Thanks, Sarah! I am really looking forward to it!
