AP Easy Cyst-FF is for washing foods only or can it also used for food/soup cooking?

Can not. The CTM-1 can't meet your usage volume ? You just use it for washing and cooking food ?

If cooking, you already disinfect the water already, cyst ff or any filtered water without NSF certified good enough.

What are the recommended cheaper brands for non-NSF certified water filter for food cooking?

The ACE Hardware shop got sell the Culligan brand. Should fit your budget, if you want even more cheaper, go to Tesco, look for those Cap Ayam under RM100.

How much is the Culligan? Can it be installed under sink ?

If you just wan a cheaper filter for high capacity not premium water quality then get a ceramic washable filter for less than RM 200 only. If clog just open and clean it.

Last year, Culligan EZ-1 was still selling at old price of slightly under Rm100 @ Ace Hardware. Good for washing and cooking food.
As for me, I had an undersink secondary POU 3-stage 3-in-1 standard 10" filter for washing and cooking . 1st filter is cheapo 1 micron sediment cartridge, 2nd is Dalton ceramic, 3rd is Dalton NSF certified active carbon. You can skip the first stage and buy a 2 in 1 instead since your POE filter already 0.1 micron.
10" cartridges are cheap and easily available.

The question is if the water used is for cooking and what I saw from the comments here is cooking will disinfect all the bacterias/virus, then should I still need a POU filter since it is redundant, correct me if I'm wrong.

If you POE already 0.1 micron, at least instal a carbon filter for secondary pou to filter the chlorine and other chemical not filtered by your POE.
E.g. while rinsing rice, rice will absorb the chlorine immediately if water is not filter by carbon.

I see... the new CTM-01 seem like a good buy but it is only saying tested accordance to NSF, that means it is not NSF certified?

3M Easy Cyst vs 3M CTM-01, which one is better?

I see it this way. With 3M brand name and reputation, when they boldly printed the words "tested in accordance to NSF/ANSI 42 & 53 standard" on the CTM cartridge itself, it simply means the cartridge is tested as good as NSF/ANSI 42 & 53 but without the certification. I think I can trust 3M's words (tested) without the certification for cheaper price and for secondary POU usage.
If you look at other certified 3M cartridges, they were printed as "NSF standard 42 & 53 tested and certified". Two processes here, the test and the certification. Of course the prices are more expensive.

Alternatively, get a standard 10" filter housing ( single or double ), then put in the NSF standard certified Dalton 10" cartridges. Voila...!

Where to buy the Dalton 10" cartridges?

Now I'm headache because my sink has a narrow space to install a separate faucet for the filtered water. Those water diverter that I've tried before does not last, it will leak in months. Anybody know where can I buy a faucet with smaller in diameter in the base?

Water filter shops should have.

If no room for extra filter faucet, you may want to consider replacing the main faucet with 2-in-1 faucet.

The 2-in-1 faucet is cool... can you let me know where to buy this model?

I think those bath & kitchen acc shops should have, maybe different design. Diring home exhibition, I had came across a 2-in-1 faucet system with separate faucet but using one single sink hole also.
Maybe zheilwane can tell us more.

Yes i do sell these taps, i have HCE stainless steel type or Sorento chrome design as per website link. However, these taps are gonna cost u RM 600-800.
