Food

Fooood!!! Yummy


I know everyone like food so much just like me. Now I will be talking about food in Malaysia.
Malaysia is so famous with hot and spicy food like Nasi Lemak, Asam Pedas Melaka, Masak Sambal and more. For your information, the most basic ingredients for majority of Malaysian cuisine or traditional cuisine are coconut milk, spices, and chili. In addition, it is normal for us to consume high calorie food during morning like Roti Canai and traditional desserts such as kuih seri muka, kuih talam, tepung pelita and so on.

Normally, Roti Canai will be eaten together with curry, anchovy’s gravy, or dhal gravy .Different with Nasi Lemak , the rice is cooked with coconut milk and normally it will be eaten together with egg, fried anchovies, condiment, Rendang or any other side dishes that is suitable to be eaten together.

Hana's story

Being in Malaysia for the first time, I was shocked by the colour of the food. There's orange, red, yellow, white and black!!! I couldn't take it since all of them appeared weird in my eyes. I wonder how does it taste? So, during my early days in Malaysia, I just eat 'ayam goreng' (fried chicken). We do have colours in our food but I think Malaysia is more colourful haha. And it is my first time to see curry and oil floating with colours. Our food is usually dry. We do have soup but here is toooo much soup.

Another interesting experience is....the drinks inside the plastic tied with a rope. WOW! IT WAS COOOL!! Never seen one before. My friend even poured it out because she thought it was dirty.

KELAPA (coconut) and KEPALA (head). I cannot distinguish this back then. I once ordered a pau with kepala flavour. Of course I become a laughing stock haha. But it was a nice experience. So the people in the beverage stall was laughing at me as well as the students nearby.

Malaysia also has weird name for food. NASI HUJAN PANAS. I cannot remember others. Hmmm....
