Belacan Grill Malaysian Cuisine
May I call your attention to the Belacan Grill logo on the left navigation of Rasa Malaysia? Now that I have your attention, please click on the logo and enter the site. Do you see something familiar? Yep, you got it right--the food pictures were shot by yours truly. (Click on the image to maximize/minimize it.) Go on and navigate the menus on the website, surf around, and check it out. Other than food photography, the website is also developed by me (and my partner-in-crime Melting Wok who is currently away for her multi-months vacation in Malaysia). Belacan Grill is my favorite Malaysian restaurant in the Los Angeles area--if not the west coast of the United States---so I am very happy and honored to be working on the project. I can't rave enough about how good the food is; every dish served is truly authentic, scrumptious, and unique (meaning you can't find the dishes in other Malaysian restaurants in the United States). Two thumbs way up from me! Anyway, I took hundreds of food shots at Belacan Grill, but not everyone of them made it to the website. Click here or the image above to see the complete photo set; there are 21 dishes for your viewing pleasure. If you would like to sample Malaysian cuisine and you're in the Los Angeles area, pay Belacan Grill a visit and tell them that Rasa Malaysia sends you. Trust me, eating at Belacan Grill is as good as eating in Malaysia, without the 18-hour flight. Plus, they will take good care of your stomach and appetite because you are my reader! At Belacan Grill, all food is true to their original flavors and HALAL.

post a commentwell done! great pics. :-)
Wow, congrats on the project. The food looks so good I wanted to eat everything.
My friend, you are incredibly talented! I love the design - it is clean, refreshing and tantalizing.
You'll have to take me there next time I visit.
xoxo

Wonderful! I'm gonna check out the site right now. Congratulations!
I hit up this restaurant whenever I'm done south. One of the best I've been to.
selamat Rasa Malaysia. great pictures...
The pictures look so tempting, I would love to try them all
gorgeous~
太棒了，有机会一定到现场就体验一次~
亲爱滴，祝生意兴隆~财源滚滚来~
pictures look gorgeous... definitely going here next time I'm in LA!
lovely pics. very enticing.
I'll definitely pay my visit there!
hey, great job! love the photos!
Hey! Great job! Woo Hoo!
Can't wait to try it the next time I'm in the area.
Your pictures looked great (as usual!) and now I'm wishing that they are a chain so that I'll have one in my part of the woods! ;)
Great pictures. Home-sick Malaysians, Belacan Grill's Char Kueh Tiaw will bring tears in your eyes.
I must visit that place when I am in CA. Those pictures your took got me wiping my drools off my chin. Great job, RM :)
fabulous looking food. the photos are so well-done, makes me want to reach out with a fork.yum.
Love the photos! Wish I was within spitting distance of Belacan Grill!
Your pictures look great...as usual I must say. And the food looks gorgeous. Wish I could live on the West Coast. Maybe it is not the right forum but I have 2 quick questions for you:
-Do you know a good Malaysian restaurant in New York (all these pictures have made me quite hungry)?
-I intend to spend a few days in Singapore in November-December and was thinking about spending a week end in Malaysia. Any idea of where I could go for a couple of days?
Thanks and keep up the good work.
Laurent
I am fiercely proud to call you friend. The pictures, well you know, amazing, gorgeous, fantastic, great, excellent! The light, the styling, the composition everying is just perfect. Congratulations to you and the beautiful Melting Wok!
Lyrical Lemongrass - thanks for your nice comment. :)
Anonymous - Yep, the food was great, so after taking the pictures, I ate everything, LOL!
Steamy - thanks so much! You've got yourself a date, at Belacan Grill. :)
K&S - thanks for the comment and thanks for checking out the site.
Jasmeet - correct, I love it too, because eating there is like eating at home...it's very intimate and cozy, not commercialized at all.
Andaliman - yeah, I would love to try out every single dish on their expansive menu too. ;)
Yoyo's Food - 谢谢。
Sig - yes, don't miss out.
Radman - thanks.
Cindy - Don't miss it. Pencil it into your next trip, you would love it.
Piggy - thanks.
WMW - yeah, I would love to do more projects like this. It was really fun.
Vegasbuff - cool, you should. :)
East Meets West - where are you located? I will tell the boss to open a branch there. ;)
Cooknengr - if only we can get Malaysian see hum here...yeah, it would be 101% perfecto.
Expedited Writer - LOL, you are too funny. Yeah, don't miss out the next time you are in CA. It's certainly a lot closer than going back to Malaysia.
Maybahay - yeah, or just use your finger to grab the food. LOL. ;)
Wok and Spoon - you should move to CA, next stop!
Laurent - thanks for your comment! For New York, I have tried Penang in Chinatown, and also Nonya Restaurant in Soho. Both are pretty good. You can check them out. :) Yeah, you should totally spend a weekend or two or longer in Malaysia if you are going to be in Singapore. As to where you want to go, it depends the "mission" of your trip to Malaysia. If it's for food, do go to Penang (my hometown). You probably won't find better street food elsewhere, in my opinion. If you want a little of city plus food, KL is great too. But I think Penang will be awesome, because it's just different, plus you get to try a variety of really good food, and also can take in some sightseeing and heritage stuff. Send me an email if you want further information. :)
Cynthia - Awwww, you are too sweet. Really. I am glad to have your as a friend because you really make me feel proud of myself, and I am sure Melting Wok would feel that same. Thanks again! :)
Thanks a lot for taking the time to post such a quick and comprehensive reply. I really appreciate it. I will surely send you an email to get further information on Penang. Thanks again.
hey, i have been there few times. maybe i'll bump into you soon. hehe!
Well done on the pictures and website. Like everyone said, you are incredibly talented!~
btw, besides taking pictures and developing the website, do you cook their dishes too? If yes... i will gotta go there more often. hehe.
well done! the pictures make the food so so enak!
If I visit LA, I will go try it!
Mention RM, we get discounts? :-)
Congratulations on a job excellently done (and to Melting Wok too)! The website looks great and the photos fantastic! My mouth is watering and the only downside of your project is that I am totally drooling after those dishes which remain much too far away from me! :) Malaysia is actually closer... ;)
The pictures are beautiful! The food infinitely appetizing. Congratulations!
Congratulations! That's amazing. I love Belacan Grill.
Got discount or not if mention your 大名? :p
Hmmmm...looks really delicious.
Good job you and MW have done :D
gong hei gong hei!! Well done on the project!
Congratulations on the photography gig! Your work is so professional looking so it is no surprise they hired you.
Great job well done! We are all so proud of you.
Oh my! Those are some absolutely gorgeous shots! Congrats!
WOW! They definitely asked the right person. Fantastic looking pics...droolz!
Laurent - no problem. I am glad that I was able to offer you some information about Malaysia.
Oppss - thanks for your nice comment. No, I didn't cook the dishes...LOL. The next time you go there, ask for Chef Kean and tell him that you know me. Hehe.
Keropok - haha. I am not sure got discount or not...have to check with the boss. ;)
Joey - thanks for your sweet note...what are you waiting for, pack up and go to Malaysia next weekend. Air Asia flies to KL real cheap...LOL!

I don't know when we'll be down in LA-LA-land again, but this will be a place to hit up.
Happy Birthday ..Your post was so funny,but I confess,sometimes I had the same problem. Cheers!!!
Saw the chicken satay photo on Tastespotting! Looks beyond delicious. I love love chicken satay with peanut sauce. These pictures are making my stomach growl!
