The Beginning of Jomtaralets

โ€œJomtaraletsโ€ is a coined word of โ€œJomโ€ from a Malay word which means โ€œgo or let us goโ€ and โ€œTara letsโ€œ from a common Filipino expression which has also the same meaning as โ€œlet us goโ€.

โ€‹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.
