I'm not sure where you went to eat, but I found the food in KL to be of lower standard as compared to Melaka (which is famed for its hawker food) and Penang. In KL, I had to be shown to the good places[1], but in Melaka you'd be pretty set where ever you rock up!

But the fruits are amazing! There is so much variety of tropical fruits! But my comments about the pricing were based on my observations at the supermarkets -- it felt like the costs were quite high for fresh fruit & veg compared to simply eating out.

[1] Shout out to Klang Bah Kuh Teh. It's been my first stop many times once I've arrived in M'sia!

I would love to go get some good roti and kopi susu but I have left Asia SE a month ago for good.

I have pretty much enjoyed the food but it just isn't the kind of diet that you would recommend to anyone for health and and loosing weight.

Penang is a little better then KL because of more food diversity there and some really nice Indian, vegetarian restaurants. And the climate is also better then KL so there is more people jogging along the waterfront. But still it isn't a good city for biking.

For cheap fruit & veg, do what the locals do and shop at the wet market. Far cheaper than the styrofoam packs at the supermarket.
