Authentic Malaysian Indian Biriyani – Since 1972

Food Travel📍 Today we are going to enjoy an authentic Indian biriyani in Kuala Lumpur city. Picture: Biriyani rice with mutton. I went their along with my friend Rishad bro to have some authentic Indian style biriyani as per the suggestion from my friend. My friend already gave me an idea about the shop, food and even about employees before itself. And exactly as he said the food was simply superb. We have ordered biriyani rice along with mutton curry. Then we added some chicken fry too. Suddenly Mujeeb ikka provide us a sauce to dip chicken fry which was so nice.   Biriyani really gave me a feeling like eating in India itself. So yummy and the mutton curry was so juicy. Even chicken fry also was soo cool. I heard good feedback about the parotta / roti canai also but I keep it for next time visit as this time we were really full. I was wondered to see very less Indians visiting this restaurant, maybe not everyone aware of this shop because local Malaysians love this place and always crowded. So go and try at bismillah restaurant say hi to Mujeeb ikka and convey my regards too😍 MD – Note The Point📍 Location: Bismillah Restaurant, 21, Jalan Sultan Yahya Petra, 54100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur Don’t forget to share this to your foodie friend or with whom you wish to go this restaurant.🔥 Let’s take a look at my short video in 60 seconds to get a clear idea about this place and food.

Genting Highlands – Day 2 in Malaysia

Our next trip is to the hill station which is also one of my personal favorite place in Malaysia – Genting Highlands. Best time to visit noon to evening. If you are in package or booking a taxi, make the trip 11AM to 7PM or  12 to 8, to get the awesome evening vibe in cable around 6PM. I would say Genting as the world of chilling super cool climate along with eye refreshing greenery in Malaysia. To make it a happening world there do have large number of restaurants, casinos, indoor park, wild variety of shopping areas, skyway cable car and much more. Even some people use to stay here for one day. Genting Highlands is a place where people, songs and games come alive 24 hours a day. The outdoor park is now ready after restructuring from 2013 onwards to make it to one of the best in the world a kind of Disney world they say. One of the best parks in Asia.

Let’s start our journey with some local music..❤️ https://youtu.be/OCnE2Rzu7dA?si=kmkb9te9VqMY5tDD Before starting, let me share you the checklist for you to travel. Must follow this👍🏻   MD – Note The Point📌📌📌 Checklist 1. Passport‌ with 6 months validity 2. Flight Tickets (to Malaysia and return) 3. Hotel booking confirmation for accommodation in Malaysia or else invitation letter with sponsor details (Letter with sponsor passport copy and visa copy along with tenancy agreement copy) 4. Fill-up MDAC (Malaysia Digital Arrival Card – three days prior to arrival) https://imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/mdac/main 5. Show money – For you to spend in Malaysia.

For any clarification or tour assistance: Whatzapp👉🏻 9020 331333 With all this at your disposal, there’s no need to worry about anything else. Everything and anything you might need is readily available in Malaysia.👍🏻 Tips To Fly: ✈️ Rule #1: Ensure your hand carry is limited to 7kg as exceeding it by just one kilogram can cost around 1500 Rs. Always double-check the weight and confirm if you have any additional luggage, especially when flying with AirAsia, it includes hand carry only, additional luggage need to take separately. Rule #2: Keep in mind that hand carry allowances restrict liquids to containers of 100ml or less. *Rule #3: For those planning to have dinner in-flight, it’s advisable to pre-book to enjoy a 20% discount on the meals. Rule #4: If you possess a credit/debit card offering airport lounge access, take advantage of the free amenities, including unlimited food, drinks, and a comfortable resting place. Rule #5: Be mindful of your flight timing. For instance, if your AirAsia flight is on May 16 at 00:20, plan to be at the airport on the night of the 15th. Many people face issues with this timing, so exercise caution to avoid missing your flight. Sim:📱Consider purchasing a SIM card at the Malaysian airport, typically costing around 25-30 ringgit, offering internet and calls for a week. What is Malaysian Diaries…???
