Mangolicious


Mangolicious Jams

Mangolicious is easily the most colourful booth so it’s hard to miss them. For the mango lovers out there, this one’s a must visit.
Besides their signature pure mango jam, there’s also a new product called Mango Kaya which is just delicious as a spread on toasts, crackers, or as fillings between cakes. You will definitely taste the difference, as their jams are made with either Australian or Pakistani mangoes only.

Not a fan of mango? How about peanut butter? Joey’s Peanut Butter comes in various flavours and there’s even a sugar-free version for the health conscious.

Shyet Li Kopitiam


Spring Rolls with Prawns


Shyet Li Food

Shyet-Li’s Kopitiam serves a variety of local favourites like roti jala, curry laksa and fresh spring rolls with shrimps. Their homemade kaya is quite special considering it’s made with gula melaka instead of the normal white sugar. The kopitiam can also be found at the mall’s 3rd floor.

Accidental Bakers


Accidental Bakers Cakes

Despite being pricier than the rest, I think the The Accidental Bakers‘ cakes are the best looking among all. It’s hard to say no to brownies that look so elegant and decadent.

Ashley's by Living Food

Double Thumbs Chicken Rice Mix

If you use bottled sauces for cooking quite often then you should definitely check out Double Thumbs‘ booth. Their shrimp chili and spicy asam pastes are reasonably priced and seasoned perfectly to help you prepare delicious dishes at home effortlessly.

Nasi Lemak

Next to Double Thumbs is a makcik all the way from Banting who makes excellent nasi lemak. The main dishes available are chicken rendang, sambal kerang, sambal sotong and sambal ikan bilis. Trust me when I say this is one of the best nasi lemak you’d ever have.

CrazyPuff That Iced Coffee

7-inces of Stuffed Awesomeness, that’s CrzyPuff for you. It’s available in 8 flavours: Loco Lamb (pulled lamb), Brit Bonkers (Shepar’s Pie), Wacky Yankee (mac & cheese), Wild Popeye (spinach + cheese), Cukoo-Dang (chicken rendang), Gila Classic (curry potato), iPuff (apple cinnamon) and Mad Monkey (banana + Nutella).

That Iced Coffee


That Teh Tarik

Besides curry puffs, That Iced Coffee and That Teh Tarik by That Foodie Place are available at RM10 each. Although they seem expensive, each bottle is 500ml and tastes really ‘kaw’ and smooth. I certainly did not regret my purchase and I think you will love it as well, if you don’t mind the price tag. Best served chilled!

Honey Hearts


The Honey Hearts

There’s only one honey booth and it’s a very good one. The Honey Hearts gets their supply of wild jungle honey from Sarawak and their homemade apple cider vinegar is worth checking out as well.

Rymba Hills Tea Bags

Rymba Hills is another health drink booth at the market. Their pure and natural herbal products include misai kucing, Bentong ginger and lemon grass teas that can be consumed to alleviate various health issues like diabetes, kidney stones and indigestion.

Heartlands Food


Sailor's Products

Heartland Foods is also back and this time they have a new product, which is frozen pizza. Hot dog is still available for RM10 with unlimited toppings and condiments of your choice.

Lifestyle Juicery


Cold Pressed Juices

It wouldn’t be a food market if there’s no freshly squeezed juice. Lifestlye Juicery specializes in delivering raw, fresh and cold-pressed juices straight to your door. What makes them different from the rest is that their sugar-free juices contain 70% vegetables and 30% fruits and produced using local organic produce.

Maple Market Picnic Food

Here’s my small haul of the day: nasi lemak sambal kerang @ RM8, That Iced Coffee @ RM10 and a lemon Rosemary with sea salt cake by NoDesserts @ RM10.

Maple Market Children Section


Children Face Painting

Food and drinks aside, there’s also a children’s activity area for you to enjoy quality time with your kids. The dining tables are placed just next to this area so you could still keep a watchful eye on them while you tuck into your delicious food.

By the time you read this, it’s already the second day of the Maple Food Market. Tomorrow will be the last day so don’t miss your chance to visit the lively food market and kill a few hours shopping, eating and mingling around.
The market is not massively huge but it’s definitely worthwhile to drop by to try and buy some products that are not readily available in the supermarkets. Also, you don’t have to worry about rain, parking and mud problems ;) For more information on the event, you can contact Aida Salleh at 012-3656856.
