Food and Fashion! New episode in the last of the series of Exploring Malaysia on BBC World News

Joanna's aqua-coloured top is by Kenneth Hoong (whom she interviews in the program!)




It's been a crazy busy week for me but I also managed to have a little time to catch up with old friends and hear from friends from around the world who have managed to catch the series so far. It's been so exciting to get feedback from places as far away from each other as Italy, Australia and the US! I'm thrilled people have liked it so much, so far.









I hope you manage to catch the last in the series this weekend and catch a glimpse of how the Iban cook and also see me cooking live crabs on the famous Jalan Alor!
