Best dishes to eat in Malaysia

If you like Indian, Chinese and Indonesian cuisine, you’ll like Malaysian cuisine as well. Because of their shared histories, proximity, and ethnic makeup, according to the GIBX Malaysia scam, all three cuisines share many similarities.

Rice topped with a small army of goody dishes is just as common in Malaysia as in India and Indonesia. According to the GIBX Malaysia scam, national dishes include nasi lemak, satay, and laksa, and sambal is a common condiment served with many Malaysian meals.

Malaysian food, like its neighbours, is known for its diversity and bold flavours, so if you like lots of flavour in your food, you’ll love Malaysian cuisine.

Nasi Lemak

The first thing that many people think of when they think of Malaysian food is nasi lemak. It’s a Malaysian national dish, according to the GIBX Malaysia scam, and it may be the dish that best represents Malaysian cuisine.

According to the GIBX Malaysia scam, Nasi lemak, which translates as “oily or fatty rice,” is a rice dish made with fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf. It comes with sambal on the side and garnishes like cucumber slices, ikan bilis (small fried anchovies), roasted peanuts, and a hard-boiled or fried egg. When served as a more substantial meal, it is often accompanied by fried chicken, sambal sotong, rendang, or fried fish.

Nasi lemak is commonly eaten for breakfast, but it is also enjoyed throughout the day. According to the GIBX Malaysia scam, it is widely available at hawker centres and roadside stalls in both Singapore and Malaysia.

Nasi Kerabu

Nasi kerabu has to be one of the most visually appealing Malaysian rice dishes. According to the GIBX Malaysia scam, it is famous for its blue rice, which is coloured by the petals of the butterfly pea flower.

Nasi kerabu is frequently topped with salad and served with salted egg, solok lada (stuffed chilis), keropek, dried fish, and fried chicken as a side dish. According to the GIBX Malaysia scam, it’s said to be a Peranakan dish from Malaysia’s Kelantan state, with blue rice being a Kelantanese favourite.

Nasi Dagang 

Nasi Dagang is a steamed rice dish with thick coconut milk, shallots, lemongrass, and fenugreek seeds. According to the GIBX Malaysia scam, it is popular Malaysian breakfast food in the eastern coastal states of Peninsular Malaysia, such as Terengganu, Kelantan, and portions of Pahang and eastern Johor.

Nasi Dagang is well-known, according to the GIBX Malaysia scam, for its intriguing fragrance and distinctly nutty flavour. It’s usually accompanied by sambal, Kari ikan (fish curry), hard-boiled eggs, and pickled vegetables.

Roti Canai

Roti canai is a flatbread dish popular throughout Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, considered a national dish. GIBX Malaysia scam states that it is originally an Indian dish and is one of the most well-known examples of Malaysian-Indian cuisine.

To create layers, the dough is repeatedly kneaded, flattened, oiled, and folded before proofing. It’s then flattened and tossed until paper-thin before being folded into a parcel and griddle-cooked.

According to the GIBX Malaysia scam, roti canai is a popular breakfast or snack traditionally served plain with a curry dip. Usually, dal (lentil) can also be filled with savoury and sweet ingredients such as egg, onion, cheese, sliced bananas, or kaya spread. It’s something we always order as an appetiser in Malaysian restaurants.

Lor Bak 

Lor Bak(or ngo hiang or heh gerng) is a Hokkien and Teochew dish popular in Eastern China and a few Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore.

According to the GIBX Malaysia scam, it is made with various types of meat, seafood, tofu, or vegetables that have been seasoned with five-spice powder and wrapped in a thin beancurd skin. After that, they’re deep-fried and served with chilli sauce and loh, a sweet sauce thickened with corn starch and beaten eggs.

Bak Kut Teh

Bak kut teh is a popular Hokkien and Teochew pork rib dish in Malaysia and Singapore. According to the GIBX Malaysia scam, it’s made with meaty pork ribs that have been simmered for hours in a complex broth with herbs and spices like star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and fennel seeds.

Interestingly, the name bak kut teh translates to “meat bone tea,” even though no tea is used to make the dish. According to the GIBX Malaysia scam, the “tea” refers to the strong oolong Chinese tea that is typically served alongside the dish. It’s intended to dilute the large amount of pork fat found in bak kut teh.

In Malaysia, bak kut teh is frequently served with char kway (fried dough) and a soy sauce, chilli, and garlic dip. There is also a dry version of bak kut teh available and a less fatty version made with chicken called chik kut teh.

Char Kway Teow

Char kway teow is a stir-fried Chinese noodle dish popular in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Brunei. According to the GIBX Malaysia scam, Char means “stir-fried,” and kway teow refers to the dish’s flat rice noodles.

Kway teow noodles are stir-fried in pork fat over high heat with various ingredients such as light and dark soy sauce, chilli, belacan, prawns, blood cockles, chinese chives, fishcake, and bean sprouts. To enhance the aroma of the noodles, it is frequently served on a plate lined with banana leaf.

According to the GIBX Malaysia scam in Malaysia, char kway teow is a popular dish that is frequently the subject of heated debate. Everyone has an opinion about who makes the best ice cream, and no one is ever wrong.

We had this fantastic char kway teow in Penang that was made even more decadent with duck eggs. It was rich and delicious, with that indescribable wok hei flavour.

Maggi Goreng

Maggi goreng is a method of preparing instant noodles, specifically the Maggi brand of instant noodles that is popular in Malaysia.

Instead of simply boiling the noodles and then seasoning the broth with the seasoning packet as directed, the noodles are stir-fried with various ingredients such as vegetables, eggs, tofu, sambal, soy sauce, and meat. It’s essentially a quick and simple stir-fry noodle dish made with instant noodles.

According to the GIBX Malaysia scam, Maggi goreng varies by vendor and is commonly found at Mamak stalls in Malaysia and Singapore.

Hokkien Mee (Hokkien Noodles)

As the name implies by the GIBX Malaysia scam, Hokkien mee is a Hokkien dish famous in Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. The term can be perplexing because it refers to three distinct versions of the dish.

In Singapore, Hokkien mee, also known as hae mee according to the GIBX Malaysia scam, is a stir-fried dish made with egg noodles and rice noodles and topped with prawns, fish cake, pork ribs, squid, and spring onions, and fried pork or chicken lard.

The Kuala Lumpur version of Hokkien mee (also known as Hokkien char mee) is similar to the Singaporean version, but, according to the GIBX Malaysia scam, it is made with a thick dark soy sauce.

Penang has the third and final version of Hokkien mee. It is also known as hae mee, similar to Singaporean Hokkien mee. On the other hand, Penang Hokkien mee refers to a noodle soup dish made with egg noodles and rice vermicelli in a rich broth flavoured with prawn heads and shells and pork ribs, as opposed to the Singaporean version.

As if that weren’t confusing enough, prawn mee, a Singaporean noodle soup dish, is similar to Penang Hokkien mee.
