Trying to keep Veganuary vibes ongoing into Feb! I’m hosting a farm tour and lunch session at GK Organic Farm in conjunction with Kongsi Coop. GK is one of the last patches of fertile organic soil within a 50km radius of the Klang Valley, cultivated over 30 years. It’s a beautiful space and having visited it for the first time last year, I would love for you to experience it too, as well as understand the plight of saving the farm since the landlord wants to sell the land now 😭

I won’t be cooking, but Chef Tai, who helps to run the farm, is an MAESTRO and he’ll be preparing lunch using freshly harvested produce. Looking forward to connecting with you there!

KONGSI MAKAN
Date: Saturday, 7th February 2026
Time: 10am-3pm
Location: GK Organic Farm, Dengkil
Fee: RM109 per pax

‘Dine & Disconnect’ was an idea I developed out of a personal need to pry my paws off my phone, even if for a few hours. Social media addiction has been a self-imposed handicap of mine for the past few years, and whenever I tell people about it, it is common for them to admit that they have it too. I felt that turning off for a while could benefit many of us.

But more importantly, I sought an opportunity to collaborate with an old friend of mine I met on the KTM train one fateful morning ten years ago. I have since watched slowly building from the ground up and its ‘lost garden’ feel deserves to be experienced. Iskandar devotes his time creating work and leisure opportunities for the differently-abled community. The food at Kafe Basikal Tua is made by them, and all proceeds go towards outings organized for them.

It was the first time that Iskandar and his home chef team have made anything plant-based, and they pulled off a fantastic 3-course Nusantata fusion meal. The rain died down just in time for us to enjoy a meal under the stars, serenaded by frogs and some karaoke fun.

Thank you to the vegan homies and Nazlina’s beautiful birthday gang who joined us for this little opportunity to stay present together, to Iskandar for opening up your kafe to celebrate World Vegan Month and for coming ok with the most delicious plant-based menu, to for helping to coordinate the evening and as last minute chaperone!



Would you like to see Dine + Disconnect as an ongoing series?

Hi Fam!

I’m excited to share my upcoming event in conjunction with World Vegan Month! With generous support from Energize by Yobros.

‘Dine + Disconnect’ is an immersive experience that features:

🍲 A 100% plant-based Malaysian heritage cuisine 3-course meal
🌴 A beautiful rustic secret garden within the city
📵 The chance to ‘turn off’ our digital presence and connect with each other in real time
🎤 Open Mic on a tiny stage to present a song or some poetry (we can connect to Bluetooth if we need some karaoke music)
✨ Fireflies!!! (IF they feel like coming out that evening! 🤞)

In line with the venue's regular practice, we are keeping the look and the feel of the venue under wraps so that everyone can enjoy the ‘first time’ experience together.

Venue owner and stroke survivor, Raja Iskandar, engages with local home chefs with differently-abled family members to help support their livelihoods, and regularly organizes outings for the differently-abled community too. All proceeds of your ticket goes towards the funding of these outings. For World Vegan Month, I figured it would be a lovely time to remind ourselves to stay on the path of compassion towards nature, animals and humans alike. Your participation will go a long way!

Okay hear me out: Mango and Parsley.
My friend stumbled upon this unlikely pairing during lockdown and loves me enough to share it with me, and now I love you enough to share it with you! Combining the clean, peppery taste of parsley and the floral sweetness of mango… It’s not that one enhances the other… it just becomes something enticingly different.

I tossed the combo together with Cannellini Beans, airfried smashed potatoes and fresh Lion’s Mane Mushroom grown by , nutritional yeast, lemon juice and salt. A simple filling lunch which allows its flavours, like an oddball new friend, to charm their way into your heart.

Very surprised and humbled to find a presentation I did for Asia Farm Animal Day 2024 in Hanoi has been uploaded online.

It is one of the most important presentations I have done to mark the progress I have made as a Plant-Based Lifestyle Advocate, taking 8 years of figuring things out on my own and the conclusions I have made to help sustain my journey. I am so grateful the audience recieved it as well as they did that day, and I am grateful it can now reach many more.

If you would like to understand the complexities of attitude and behaviour shifts in Malaysian society, you are welcome to watch.
