It’s time again for another linkfest episode. Since the previous linkfest - where we brought you 31 Malaysian Tech Blogs - was so well received, we’ll do it again. This time, it’s going to be about Malaysian Food Blogs.

As Malaysians, there are few things in life that are more important than food to us. It is no wonder that the number of Malaysian food bloggers around are far more than tech bloggers. How much more? We scoured the Internet for hours to find the answer. We found 65 ACTIVE FOOD BLOGS! That’s more than 2 times the amount of tech blogs we found earlier.

Due to the insane amount of blogs we had to go through, the list you see below is not ordered. Our selection was based on the activeness and scope of the blogs. Therefore, we had bypassed some blogs that haven’t been updated in a long time or not really focused on food. Some of the food blogs are more inclined to recipes so we grouped them under ‘Recipe Blogs’. We’re happy to report that the Malaysian food blogging scene is booming; with a lot of quality food blogs out there. Thanks to them, our stomachs were growling throughout the searching process .

Time to update your blogroll. We present you 65 Malaysian Food Blogs

Let’s face it - going anywhere in Malaysia is like walking around in a maze with your eyes closed. The cities and towns are poorly planned and the roads are redirected at whim. Worse if you’re traveling to somewhere you haven’t been before. Maps are good, but it doesn’t show less prominent places like your favorite roadside stalls.

Thankfully, now there’s a website to go to for directions. Dromoz.com (a striking similarity to dmoz.com) indexes real places in Malaysia. Dromoz explains itself:

Dromoz is a user-contributed and user-maintained directory of real, physical places in Malaysia. It is NOT about websites and it is NOT a search engine. Instead, Dromoz is an experimental project to test the usefulness of a web resource on actual places; its content is built and maintained entirely by volunteers.

Following the 31 Malaysian Tech Blogs post, we wondered if there’s a way to view all the blogs’ feed as one instead of subscribing to 31 feeds. Long story short, here’s our Frankenstein creation :

Today’s linkfest is close to home (that’ll be Malaysia). I scoured the Internet, far and wide to bring you my virtual neighbors. A large portion of them were picked up from Technorati

So here they are, 31 Malaysian technology blogs that you may or may not know. Each is unique and the blogs vary in languages and focus. The list is ordered roughly from blogs with high ratio and amount of tech articles to the low ratio ones.

well, it’s been quite awhile since I last blogged due to various commitments and lack of materials. Time passes, people change, people blog. Having gone through many versions and styles of blog, I hope that this one will stick, no promises though! So without further ado, I bring you the first post…
