The vivacious Gabby shares her favourite dining spots around Malaysia and the craziest thing she’s ever eaten.
As director of marketing at The Gardens Mall, Gabrielle Tan has a few favourite hotspots for dining at the shopping centre, whether it’s for celebrations or a quiet cup of tea.
Outside of The Gardens though, our Most Stylish Woman 2013 (and November cover story) also has a down-to-earth liking for good ol’ char kuey teow.
Below, Gabrielle shares her picks for dining in and out of Malaysia.
Favourite breakfast: Special K cereal
Craziest thing you've ever eaten: Cod sperm at Sage. Surprisingly it tasted good but slightly slimey.
Favourite hawker spot in Malaysia: Gurney Drive in Penang. My go-to hawker food is char kuey teow.
Food that reminds you of your childhood: Brie with grapes as it was one of the favourite dishes I had with my late grandfather for after-dinner munchies.
Where to bring visitors for mouth-watering Malaysian food: Nirvana Maju for banana leaf.
