Don't lie. We have all encountered that one night where we lie in bed dreaming of all the exercises and work outs we should try out the next day and how we can lose 5lbs or even what diet we should take on.... but unfortunately, there are types of food in the world that can kidnap your dream and rip it apart.
The following snacks are the ones I have tried and LOVED in Malaysia and Singapore since we went there during Christmas (that's why I'm bombarding you guys with M'sia and S'pore posts... heh). They're not exactly traditional snacks but they were prepared, presented and priced awesomely... In addition these are a great snack that can fill you up and energize you when you're in a rush to have fun!
PERSONALLY, I though these mash potatoes were the bomb but my family didn't think so... If you really like your potatoes really soft and drenched in gravy, you'd be in heaven while taking a bite of this. The potoato was finely mashed and wasn't lumpy at all. I liked how it didn't taste dramatically buttery where your body already signals your weight gain after the first bite but instead it tasted more modest and potato-y. The gravy was just right- wasn't too salty and the consistency matched the mash very well. The theme of the cafe is the medieval period (hence, "DRAGON") and a full body armor is situated by the door. Kinda quirky and fun.... The address is listed below if you're interested:

If you find yourself constantly looking for a place where you can admire the historical architecture, roam around street markets and look for great buys while enjoying awesome food, the Malacca food street is perfect for you. Our family found ourselves in a small outdoor cafe where they served a variety of cuisines in which we ordered the Chicken Rice Balls as an appetizer. If you've never tried them before they are definitely something I recommend I love how each rice ball is the perfect proportion for 2-3 pieces of chicken. The rice balls have a very strong taste of chicken oil which is DELICIOUS. Also, the chicken was very fresh and also tasted wonderful. Now before you go off yelling at the kitchen saying that their chicken is cold, many countries in Asia serve this dish with cold chicken. Sort of just like a tradition and it balances out with the steamy oil rice. I totally forgot what this cafe was called however you can find this dish in almost every food street. I tried this specific dish out at the Malacca food street.
Like I said in a previous post, our family is obsessed with satays. This dish, however, is actually not the traditional Singapore satays but the Thai satays. It tasted a lot more lemony (most likely due to the lemongrass). I would recommend to just try out the satays in Singapore and Malaysia in general because they are all made wonderfully.

Okay. I admit. They might not have made these in -house but they were such good pies!! They came out steaming out and the moment you cut it open the aromatic cream sauce starts pouring out. The chicken inside was not very dry like almost all the pies out there but instead very soft. The pastry was very moist and crisp yet didn't feel like you were biting in to plain butter. In addition to just savory snacks, they also have an assortment of different pastries and cakes. The convenience of this cafe was also a plus since we were all so rushed to head over to Sentosa, we didn't have much time to grab breakfast. This pie especially made a great starting meal of the day! If you plan on heading over to this sweet cafe, Boulangerie is located on the main floor in Festive hotel (part of Resorts World Sentosa Singapore).
Feeling a desire to have a midnight snack during New Years, we decided to buy some mini donuts from J. Co. We saw this coffee shop almost everywhere we went therefore we gave in and wanted to try it. These one-bite donuts were so delicious! They were all filled with either jam or cream and topped with icing or sprinkles. The icing was very crispy and crunchy (especially if you refrigerate it for 3-4 hours) so when you bite in to it, the icing would flake. Absolutely delicious. We als saved some for breakfast and they definitely made the day! Definitely a recommendation for a small snack. I'm pretty sure we found one of these coffee shops in every Malaysian mall we went in to however the specific mall we bought these from was the KSL Mall.
