The quickest way to anyone’s heart is through the stomach. So get them a thoughtful food gift while still affording your monthly bills! Here are HungryGoWhere’s picks of a few ideas for food gifts under RM20.
MyChocoLab Nasi Lemak Bar
For one-of-a-kind chocolatey gifts, we love the customisation services of MyChocoLab. You start off with a single chocolate bar base – your choice of dark, white or milk.
Are you nutty or rice this Christmas? – HungryGoWhere pic, December 15, 2015.
Then you add toppings starting at RM1 – your choice of strange things like matcha powder, coconut flakes, chilli flakes, ginger, etc.
They’re well-priced, and if you want some of their pre-made bars they have interesting combinations like the Nasi Lemak Bar at RM20!
PLAT Kitchen Kuih Bangkit
Found in Malacca, which is well-known for its great food gifts, Plat Kitchen is one of the most well-decorated cafes we’ve been to that also sells these cute little crumbly, chalky treats we all know and love – kuih bangkit!
Accompany this with a note saying how the kuih melts like you when around the recipient. – HungryGoWhere pic, December 15, 2015.Named their Grandma’s kuih bangkit, this traditional Baba and Nyonya recipe for tapioca and coconut cookies is best shared over a steaming cuppa.
It’s RM6.50 for a jar and you can even personalise your own message on the cheerful yellow part of the label.
A box of nostalgia!
Ambush your rotiman and buy RM20 worth of snacks and candy. Be warned, it won’t buy you as much as it did 20 or more years ago, but it’s the memories that count.
Look out for chewy White Rabbit candies, pungent durian popcorn, fluffy Apollo layer cakes, Kopiko and sweet coconut buns.
Just add in a disclaimer to warn the recipient not to shoot the messenger – Super Ring is no longer the fluorescent orange it once was – and you should be fine.
Five & Two Foods Bacon Sambal
For any meat lover comes something a little more Christmas-appropriate than bak kwa or pork floss. Five & Two Foods has jars of bacon jam, curried pork (RM18), and bacon sambal (RM20) for meaty gifts that will satisfy any carnivorous appetite.
Sharing is caring, don’t hog it all to yourself. – HungryGoWhere pic, December 15, 2015.They also have larger gift sets, but you’ll have to scale your budget up accordingly! Get these online at their website.
Baked goods
Take it easy on your wallet this celebratory season. Just use your oven to make your own mini loaves or gift jars of fragrant carrot cake, caramel sauce banana cake, or 30-minute chocolate cake.
Nothing says I ‘loaf’ you like aromatic oven-baked deliciousness. – HungryGoWhere pic, December 15, 2015.If baking is not your forte, cheat a little and buy the gift of professionally baked goods instead from old school bakeries in KL.
Kechara Soup Kitchen
Give to those who most need the gift of companionship and food, especially as no one deserves to be hungry or lonely during this time of year.
Spend some time supping in the soup kitchen. – HungryGoWhere pic, December 15, 2015.Soup kitchens and other initiatives are always looking for volunteers to help feed the hungry or just spend some time with people who are alone and some without a home.
Giving itself is more of a gift than receiving, so gather your friends and family together to rediscover the meaning of Christmas with activities that will give you some food for thought and replenish your soul.
