Bella Jamal, Top Malaysia Lifestyle Blogger that focuses on cuisine and modern living topics. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the National University of Malaysia.

BELLA JAMAL’S PASSION SINCE SCHOOL
In 2016, she discovered her passion for blogging. In her school days, she competed in essay and writing competitions and this fueled her enthusiasm to write and share it on her blog which she titled ‘Ini Adalah Bellarina Natasya‘. Her teacher once told her that she will be successful in journalism or writing in general. She, on the other hand, ignored it and pursued her dreams in science.
After 5 years in the profession, she realised that writing is her actual love, especially after receiving positive comments on her culinary and pet pieces, which currently have 13 million views. The aforementioned articles may be found at www.bellajamal.com.
PATIENCE – SKILL YOU NEED!
Writing is a labour that needs a great deal of focus and effort, but being acknowledged as a writer is even more difficult for Bella. Almost every time, she had to balance her time between her profession and her passion for writing. She repeatedly shows to herself that she can manage pressure.
When she initially started writing, it was disappointing to have people around her who discouraged rather than encouraged her, but patience is the key to success. Nowadays, being around by individuals who inspire her to keep moving ahead is really beneficial to her career.
Bella enjoys music in addition to writing and cooking. She listened to a wide range of music and adored one of her favourite musicians, Taylor Swift. She could hear practically all of her songs in her head since she could relate to them all. Each song has some significance for her. Taylor’s song motivated her to never lose oneself in difficult situations.
One of Miss Swift’s most inspiring words for Bella is ;
“you have to work for everything you get and you have to appreciate every bit of success the world gives you.”

Resepi Ayam Masak Sambal Hijau, which emphasised spiciness in Malaysian cooking, Cara Memasak Maggi Kari Sedap, which is the typical 5 minutes instant noodles with a twist of home cooking, and Resepi Masak Lodeh, which is one of the main dishes during festivals, are now attracting more followers to her site.
GET INVITED TO BLOGGER AND INFLUENCER’S EVENTS
At the same time, Bella did not ignore the present trend of fast-paced global happenings. She attended the majority of the festivities thanks to an invitation that came in waves. She was frequently asked to provide a cuisine critique for newly launched eateries in Klang Valley.
She has attended beauty and lifestyle events hosted by some of the country’s biggest firms. Not to add, she was invited to luxurious entertainment events shown on national television, where she met some of her country’s well-known performers. This makes Bella happy since she is a major lover of the Malaysian entertainment industry; it’s a dream come true for her.

Besides, it is also listed in the Autumn Harvest Food Culture 2020 & Winter Harvest Food Culture 2020 nominees for the next Gourmand World Cookbook Awards (2021).
Although the book is not selected for Best in The World Shortlist FOOD CULTURE 2021, Gourmand Awards 2021, Bella is delighted with the achievement of being listed for the renowned Gourmand World Cookbook Awards nominees and representing Malaysia. It is more than what she had hoped for when she began her journey. She already has many plans on how to venture further into the industry.
