About – Sayur In The City

We want to connect KL-ites with nature, through the eating and growing of food in the city.

As the city is rapidly becoming more and more of a concrete jungle, we want to bring nature back into the city by helping KL-ites eat and grow the food that’s perfect for our city climate. Very often these are plants that grow really well in our region, but we’ve kinda forgotten about them. From the common sweet potato leaf to banana stems, Malaysia is one of the most bio-diverse regions in the world and has the ultimate climate for growing all sorts of things.

So open up your taste buds and try something a little different.
