00:00Welcome to Kavila's Storytelling Corner!

00:09Located literally in a corner behind a laundromat on Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur,

00:1531-year-old Kavila Nair can be seen firing up the walk.

00:20Having loved cooking since young, Kavila began experimenting in the kitchen during the pandemic.

00:26Soon, she was operating a stall in the area, juggling her office job by day,

00:31and cooking by night for three years.

00:35In fact, I was passionate about my parents.

00:40I wanted to go to my parents.

00:42When I was young, I was going to go to the kitchen,

00:45but I was very excited about my parents.

00:49So, I wanted to go to my parents.

00:51So, I feel like everyone here is eating Chinese.

00:57We are in the region.

00:59So, I just want to try.

01:01I want to try.

01:02Why not?

01:03Okay.

01:04The science first is the method.

01:06I don't know.

01:07People who are not, I just get 30£.

01:10I only get 30£.

01:13But Kavila persisted, won over more customers, quit her day job,

01:24and three months ago opened this bigger space.

01:28She is known for her wok-fried Chinese and Malay dishes

01:31that feature her own recipes and homemade sauces.

01:36The lala soup is her signature dish, fresh and comforting on a rainy day.

01:42Also popular is her nasi goreng chilipari.

01:45The chilis are blended in, so every bite carries a spicy kick,

01:50and the wok-he really shines here.

01:53If you're feeling the heat, grab Kavila's fried ice cream,

01:57a new addition to the menu.

01:59She's also added her own twist to the Malay classic koitiau basa

02:08by adding cheese to it.

02:10You've probably never tasted anything like it.

02:16With plans to grow her business,

02:18Kavila continues working tirelessly by her walk.
