(Video) Gillian Chung Chows Down On Chicken Wings & Roti Tisu While In KL
International celebrities who visit Malaysia know that there's one thing everyone should do while in town: eat to your heart's content. While in Kuala Lumpur to film a show, Hong Kong star Gillian Chung (钟欣潼) made sure to try as much local food as possible before her trip ended. The singer recently shared a short vlog on her social media, documenting the last day of her recent visit to KL. According to reports, Gillian was in town to film for the upcoming Astro variety show, 'Beauty Fafa (营业吧!花花)'. Of course, while in Malaysia, the star couldn't help but check out the local food scene. In the video, Gillian and her staff members visited Alor Street and dined at a local Chinese restaurant. The star also revealed that she has dined at the restaurant many times, hinting that the food there is good. The next scene then shows a table full of dishes, including grilled stingray, satay, and grilled chicken wings. After inviting the crowd to dine in, Gillian then devoured the dishes without hesitation. While there were many food choices on the table, the singer said her favourite was the grilled chicken wings. However, Gillian's food diary didn't stop there. Upon returning to her hotel room, the star's staff members surprised her with a Roti Tisu tower that was half her height. While the 44-year-old was unsure at first, she grabbed a small piece for her first try of the iconic Malaysian dish. Immediately after tasting the Roti Tisu, Gillian's face lit up and she exclaimed, 'That tastes so good!'. She then went in for a second bite, showing her approval of the dish. In the comments, fans expressed glee over Gillian's food vlog, saying they enjoy seeing her eat with gusto. Some also cooed over her cute expressions while eating her chicken wings and trying the Roti Tisu. Fans also praised her beauty and youthful looks, noting that she looked like she could be in her twenties. At the same time, local fans also invited her to return to Malaysia more often to try other dishes. We also hope to see Gillian back in Malaysia soon. Maybe she can create a longer food vlog the next time she's in town. In the meantime, check out the video below: @hypemsia While in Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong star GillianChung 钟欣潼 made sure to eat to her heart's content and even tried some Roti Tisu.

House husband drives home brand-new Isuzu D-Max
The winners of the the 'Jom Masak & Menang Bersama' campaign with the organisers. KOTA KINABALU (Aug 12): Forty-two-year-old Likas resident, Awang Hisham Bin Sitar @ Awang Sitar, emerged victorious in the 'Jom Masak & Menang Bersama' campaign organised by MAGGI in conjunction with the Kaamatan season. The former food stall operator turned full-time house husband took home the grand prize — a brand-new Isuzu D-Max. Awang Hisham said the win was a blessing for his family of five. 'Cooking has always been a passion, and this competition gave me a chance to share my love for Sabahan food,' he said at the prize presentation ceremony at ITCC Mall in Penampang on Sunday. The first runner-up received branded cooking appliances worth RM3,000, while the other five finalists each took home RM1,500 worth of appliances. With the theme 'Honouring the Cooks Behind the Festivities', the event was a vibrant celebration of Sabahan cuisine, featuring local ingredients, passionate home cooks and charitable contributions to uplift communities. Seven finalists, selected after a two-month search across the state, competed under the tagline 'Warisan Citarasa Sabah'. In the first round, they were tasked with creating dishes using a mystery box of local produce, including Jeruk Bambangan — a nod to Sabah's rich culinary heritage. The top three moved on to a taste test challenge, identifying five mystery ingredients. Awang Hisham answered all the five ingredients correctly. MAGGI also marked the occasion with a charitable gesture, donating RM0.10 for every MAGGI product purchased between May 1 and June 30, raising RM15,000 for PACOS Trust Sabah, an NGO empowering women and indigenous communities across the state. Sabah Rural Development Corporation (KPD) chairman Datuk Jannie Lasimbang lauded the company's commitment, saying: 'For over two decades, MAGGI has stood alongside us during Kaamatan. Beyond embracing our culture and heritage, their efforts to uplift local communities are commendable, and I look forward to continuing this meaningful partnership.' MAGGI Malaysia and Singapore Business Executive Officer Ivy Tan Link Cheh said the campaign was about more than food. 'We are honoured to be part of Sabahans' lives and celebrations each year. Through meaningful partnerships, we can help underserved communities move forward while honouring local traditions and cuisine.' This year's celebrations also featured the first-ever East Malaysian stop of the nationwide MAGGI Kari-Lah Roadshow. Visitors experienced five interactive zones inspired by taste, aroma, texture, sound and sight, alongside cooking showcases of Kerabu MAGGI Latok and MAGGI Kari Jeruk Bambangan by MAGGI chefs Sharifah Hamidah Syed Mohsin and Muhammad Hakimi Badrul Hisham. The event wrapped up with cultural performances, games, and a warm reminder of Kaamatan's essence — togetherness, tradition and sharing good food.
