“With MalaysianPAYGAP, I saw that a lot of people are so relentless in going after their dreams. But at the same time, there are also people who don’t do anything and then complain all the time. That’s when I realised, I don’t want to be like them - I want to be relentless,” said Prestine Davekhaw, humanist cultural photographer and founder of @malaysianpaygap, as she reflects on her journey.

In our November Inspire story, we speak to Prestine about her journey, and finding an escape in capturing moments for others through her photography project @disappearingcultures. Full story in the link in bio.

From accidentally finding her eye for photography,

From accidentally finding her eye for photography, to unintentionally leading transparent wage discourse with @malaysianpaygap, @missprestine’s journey has been defined by a series of moments. Just like with photography where she never lets a moment pass, Prestine seizes the moments in life with vigor too.

Head to the link in bio to read Prestine’s full Inspire cover, and read about how @disappearingcultures, photojournalism and storytelling helps her escape.

Last night, we had an exclusive taste of halal MiGyeongSan Hanwoo beef for the first time in Malaysia, featuring a tasting menu presented by chefs @allen_hyunmin_suh and @soignejunlee from Seoul-based two-Michelin star restaurants!

Brought into Malaysia by @chefolivia through her company, Plan New, this marks the first showcase of MiGyeongSan @halalhanwoo beef outside of Korea. The tasting menu highlights different cuts of this rare, premium beef through modern South Korean dishes like Hanwoo Tang Ban, Yuk Jeon, and a two-way K-BBQ dish.

You can also have a taste of this exclusive menu for lunch or dinner for one day only today, 5th November! Visit the link in our bio for more details.

Would you pay RM320 for an Awadh Dum Biryani with Nihari?

Served at @jwala.kl, a restaurant specialising in authentic Lucknowi cuisine, this signature dish features fragrant basmati rice, tender lamb, and delicate spices, slow-cooked to perfection.

Here, it is paired alongside the Nihari, slow-cooked in a rich and flavourful mutton stock for a melt-in-your-mouth texture, adding a deeply satisfying dimension to your meal.

Once reserved for royalty, the Awadh Dum Biryani is one of the must-try dishes at Jwala.
