We, Malaysians, are a peculiar bunch of people. While we understand the concept of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we somehow also manage to completely throw these concepts out the window. There are no specific meal times because any time is a good time to eat.
Lucky for us, Malaysia is a melting pot of cultures with an openness to incorporate foreign cultures into our way of life. Turns out this diversity and open-mindedness is a winning combination as it has resulted in all sorts of unconventional food. In short, hipster lah.
Here are 5 hipster eats you need to stuff your face with right now. Now! Go!

Just when you think that coffee is as good as it’s going to get, the people at Mosaic Coffee at Hyatt Regency Kinabalu brings the colourful rainbow latte to our shores and into our mouths, and it’s as pretty as it sounds. See it for yourself:
#2 Banana Fritters (Pisang Goreng)

Most of us live by the saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, but we’re glad the geniuses at Pisang Kejuk decided not to listen. If you love pisang goreng (why wouldn’t you?), then you’ll be glad to know that the folks at Pisang Kejuk has reinvented this snack to include everything from cheese to Nutella to Oreo. Oh, they also have rainbow pisang goreng, because, reasons.
The icing on the banana is that they have outlets in Kuala Terengganu and Johor Bahru.
#3 Sushi Burrito

East meets West or West meets East. However you choose to see it, the outcome is a delicious sushi burrito at Makirito @ APW Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur.
Sushi ingredients such as raw salmon and chuka wakame get all snug and cosy on a bed of fluffy rice wrapped in seaweed in the form of an easy-to-eat burrito to make this healthy meal full of pleasing textures and pretty colours.
#4 Nasi Lemak Ice Cream

Not allowed to have ice cream before a meal? No problem, now you can have both at the same time by having a nasi lemak ice cream. This mealsert (a word we totally made up; feel free to use as you like) replaces the nasi with ice cream, but retains all the condiments including the sambal.
This culinary masterpiece can be found at Skream Softserve in Alor Setar, Kedah.
#5 Mango Float
