Food

Malaysian food is not one
particular kind of food but a unique culinary spectrum originating
from Malaysia's multi-ethnic population that has melded
together sampling tastes, ingredients and cooking methods
from each other. Malaysians relish and celebrate their diverse
food. It is not uncommon to drive for hours to eat a really
good bowl of noodles. As you can imagine, eatery standards
are very competitive all over the country.
Each state in Malaysia has something different
to offer in terms of culinary delights. Kuala Lumpur has the
most diverse offering of foods from all over the world. Indulge
in gourmet fusion cuisine created by talented chefs in designer
restaurants, or sample an endless amount of goodies found
practically bursting out of malls, store fronts and side-street
hawker stalls. Melaka is a home to delicious Baba Nyonya food,
much of it served in quaint cafes in historical shophouses.
Penang is hawker stall haven, where the most delicious food
requires you to wait for al fresco tables and costs as little
as RM3.50 per dish. Ipoh receives many day trippers who come
only to savour local favourites. Kelantan is the cradle of
Malay culture and serves exotic Malay food rich in flavour
and colour. When trying to decide on what stall or restaurant
to visit, the rule of thumb is that the most popular place,
especially among the locals, is normally the best.
This multi-cultural array of food has now come
to be known all over the world as Malaysian Food. For gastronomic
adventures fit for kings, the time is now, the place is Malaysia.

Key Tips
Much of Malaysia's food is spicy by western standards, but
really not overly so. If you're concerned about spicy food,
make sure to ask the the waiter or cook beforehand to make
it less spicy.
