Unless you live in Klang, most people won’t venture into this historic port town, save for those special occasions when cravings for seafood and bak kut teh strike. But there are lots to see and do here, and even lots more to eat besides the aforementioned bak kut teh.

So this month, head down to Klang. You could drive or take the KTM – it’s so convenient. Explore the pre-war shophouses, the nostalgic kopitiams, the bustling life and colours at Klang’s Little India, and more.

When you’re done playing tourist, we’ll tell you what are the best things to eat in Klang besides bak kut teh: yao yao bing, ais kepal, pandan layer cake, banana spring roll, seafood and more.

Shah Alam isn’t just a boring industrial town. It’s also where you’ll find some of the best cafés in the Klang Valley – whether you’re looking for cakes, desserts, brunch or coffee.

Of course, we can’t do a Klang issue without talking about bak kut teh. Here, learn about the many different types of bak kut teh, and where to eat the best of the lot.

In Shopping & Style, get to know local designer brand Anaabu, plus find the best arts and crafts stores in town.

We meet up with acclaimed director U-Wei Haji Saari to talk about his latest film ‘Hanyut’.

In Music, learn more about the sape, and how Alena Murang is giving this traditional music instrument a new breath of life through her new album ‘Flight’. Also, over in Bars & Drinks, find out why ice matters in making the perfect cocktail.
