The Beginning of Jomtaralets

“Jomtaralets” is a coined word of “Jom” from a Malay word which means “go or let us go” and “Tara lets“ from a common Filipino expression which has also the same meaning as “let us go”.

​Jom with me as we showcase various reviews and other exciting information for you and your friends. Reviews given on food were also based on a point of view of a non-Malaysian who has been staying in the country for more than 4 years.

This page is also an initiative for us to feature the places of interest around us. So come on and Jom with us as we uncover the hidden gems around us. The author mainly focused his stories on countries like the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia.

Disclaimer: All reviews made are based on the author’s preferences. Hence, all were based on honest feedback.
