Food heaven.....Malaysia

To live in multi-racial country such as Malaysia is so lucky I have to say. We in Malaysia are surrounded by various of nice food and cuisine from different ethnic groups and some of them are influenced by multiple ethnic. As the result, we have Nyonya food, Chinese food, Malay food, Indian food and others.

For Malay food, we have all time favourite Nasi Lemak, Nasi Dagang in Kelantan and Terengganu, Apam Balik, Kebab, Murtabak, Malay traditional Kuih, Ketupat, Rendang and Lemang during Hari Raya. For Indian food, some of the nice one include banana leaf rice, Putu Mayam, Nasi Briyani, Tosai and their aromatic curries. Not to forget Malaysia all time favourite mamak food which is simply too nice to skip. Mamak is Indian Muslims which served us some truly Malaysia food like Nasi Kandar, Rojak Mamak, Maggi Goreng, Teh Tarik and various of roti such as Roti Canai, Roti Pisang, Roti Telur, Roti Cheese, Roti Bawang and many more. Too many to name.


For me, Malaysia Chinese food is really tempting. We have so much food that can't use word to describe how good are there. Of course in Malaysia, the Chinese food is influenced a lot by the local ingredient which gave us so many different type of food. In normal Chinese coffee shop, we have Char Kuey Teow, Har Mee and fruit Rojak which is famous in Penang, Chee Cheong Fun, Curry Mee, Chicken Rice, Loh Mee, Wantan Mee, Mi Sua, Pan Mee and Kuey Teow Soup. During Chinese New Year, we have Bakkwa which is the dried bbq meat. Beside all these, other main Chinese food also included Dim Sum, Bak Kut Teh, Bak Zhang, Pau, Curry Chicken Bread, Cantonese fried Mee, Hokkien Mee, Clay Pot Chicken Rice, Tau Foo Fah, Yong Tau Foo and others. For side cuisine, we have Yau Zha Gwai for breakfast or eat with rice porridge, popiah and various Tong Sui for tea time.


Just when you think I almost list out all the main food available in Malaysia, actually that's lot more to list out. When I was writing this blog, I already feel very hungry but now getting more hungry. For Nyonya food, their food is quite unique and special. They are developed by Peranakan and they used a lot ingredients like Belacan, lemon glass and coconut milk. Some of the main Nyonya food included Asam Laksa, Otak-otak, Ayam Pongteh, Acar and Nasi Kunyit.
Besides all the various delicious delicacies, others popular one included Ais Kacang, Cendol, Pisang Goreng, Keropok Lekor, curry puff, various Nyonya kuih, Satay, Ikan Bakar and many many more. Look at how fortunate are Malaysian compare with other nations. We must learn to appreciate it and help to spread out the unique and speciality of Malaysia food. Yummy..............time to eat.
