Read the message from your South Korean friend, Ji-soo

Hi,
It's almost the winter holiday! I'm so thrilled to go and visit you in Malaysia. Currently, I'm in the midst of planning my food tour when I spend my time there. What is one popular local cuisine in Malaysia that you think I should definitely try? Can you also share where can I find it? I'd love to hear your recommendation. Thanks!

Hi,

I think the most popular local cuisine in Malaysia is Nasi Lemak. This dish is so popular, even the Chinese and Indians serve their similar version. At its very basic, Nasi Lemak is a plate of white rice cooked in coconut milk. Accompanying it on the plate is ‘sambal’, a chilli paste mixed with salted anchovies or ‘ikan bilis’. The most famous nasi lemak restaurant in JB is Yummy Nasi Lemak House Johor Bahru.

I am waiting to see you soon!

Hi,
I think you should try the Penang Laksa. Penang Laksa is a noodle dish in spicy fish broth topped with various shredded vegetables.I will always choose this tangy, spicy, sour, and appetizing dish. The reason is because nothing gives me a better satisfaction than a bowl of piping hot Laksa with cut bird’s-eye chilies and dollops of pungent heh ko (Penang-style prawn paste). Penang Laksa is really that good.
Hopefully you will be satisfied with my suggestion and have a safe journey.

Hi,
How are you? I can't wait for you to visit Malaysia. I've ask asked my mother. She think thinks you should try Roti Canai especially the Roti Canai Tampal. Actually the both Roti Canai is the same but the second one they add an egg on it to make it more delicious. This is how you eat it. You need to dip the Roti Canai into a curry or Kuah Kacang that made only for Roti Canai . There's a lot kind of Roti Canai such as Roti Canai Sardin. Some people said that Roti Canai's dough also can use to make Murtabak and Roti Tisu. Actually, I'm jubilant when I heard you will visit me . See you later.

Hi Ji-Soo,

I can't wait to see you soon! I have a few suggestions in mind but one of them, which also happens to be my favourite is martabak. Martabak is a local version of stuffed omelet pancakes and was originally an Indian Muslim cuisine. It is stuffed with minced meat, onions and spicy sauces before being pan-fried until golden brown. Once you have arrived in Kuala Lumpur, we can both go to Zam Zam Murtabak Station which is a restaurant that has the highest ratings for martabak here. I hope this suggestion is helpful. Hope to see you soon!

(real spelling for murtabak is actually martabak)

Hi,
I think it will be a good idea for you to try Asam Pedas. Asam Pedas is a bit spicy but I promise you will love it as you get used to spicy food. There are many types of Asam Pedas such as Chicken Asam Pedas and Sea Bass Asam Pedas. Next, this dish is for lunch, so you can eat it for lunch while you are here. I just made some research about where you could find it and the restaurant's name is Asam Pedas House. That's all. I can't wait to meet you!

Hi Ji soo,

What exciting news! I'm so excited! I recommend trying Nasi Kerabu. It is a Malaysian cuisine rice dish in which blue-colored rice is eaten with dried fish or fried chicken, crackers, pickles, and other salads. The blue color of the rice comes from the petals of the butterfly pea flower, which is used as a natural coloring for the rice. Nasi Kerabu is widely available throughout Malaysia, but it is especially popular along the east coast, such as in Kelantan and Terengganu. It is certainly one of my favorites. Looking forward to seeing you soon and wishing you a safe journey.

Hi Ji-soo,
Wow, such a great news! I can't wait to recommend you the most popular northern Malaysian food,which is Nasi Kandar that originating from Penang.This dish essentially steamed rice served with a variety of curries and side dishes,which often include curry,fried chicken,prawns and okra.Thus,this is often laid out buffet-style in street markets.Moreover,Nasi Kandar restaurants remain extremely popular all over Malaysia,with many of them open for 24 hours a day and run by ethnic Indian Muslims.Lots of people like to eat the sauced-soacked rice with their bare fingers,leave their hands smelling delicious long after they have been washed.So,I hope my suggestion is helpful.Hope to see you soon !

Hi,
As a Malaysian myself, I would like to recommend to you our local famous mouth-watering dish ---------- NASI LEMAK!!! Nasi lemak is a dish that consist of the rice cooked with the fragant coconut milk and pandan leaf. Nasi lemak usuallly sell with the crunchy munchy fried chicken in restaurant and food court.  You can find Nasi Lemak everywhere, whether east Malaysia or west Malaysia. Besides, the "important element" of the Nasi lemak is the sambal sauce and the fried achovies. Those "element" make the Nasi lemak taste more delicious and more healthier instead of using MSG( uncle roger may be mad now).
I can't wait to see you soon. Farewell.

Hi,

Sure I can help you choose. I think you should go for Hainanese chicken rice. It’s one of my favorite food and it is quite popular in Malaysia. It’s a Southeast Asian dish with poached chicken and seasoned rice, served with chili sauce and garnished with cucumbers and pineapples. This dish is usually sold in food stalls and restaurants, and since it is quite famous you can get it anywhere. Once you arrive here in Malaysia you will know why this cuisine is unique. Get back to me soon. Enjoy the trip.

Hi Ji Soo
I have one suggestion that I really want you to try. It is called Asam Pedas. It was a bit sour and spicy mix taste but i bet you will like it since you love to eat spicy food. In Malaysia, we cooked Asam Pedas with either chicken or fish. I can bring you to one restaurant called Kampung Warisan. The restaurant’s Asam Pedas is the best I’ve ever tasted. There's also a sea view and we can see Singapore from there as it was located opposite of the restaurant. I hope you like my suggestion. Can’t wait to see you soon!

Hi Eddie,
I suggest you to have a try on a dish called 'roti canai'. It is one of the well-known Indian traditional food in our country, Malaysia. Normally, it is made by dough and you can add something such as eggs or onions. While you enjoying it, you can also mixed it by 'dhall'. The 'dhall' is a soup made by some spices and it always is my favourite as it is finger licking. You can find it in the Indian restaurant. I hove you will like it and see you one day.

Ji-soo,

I can’t wait to see you! It has been a long time to see each other since few years ago. Now, let me introduce you some local food in Malaysia that you must try. A lot of food in Malaysia is spicy, but I knew that you can’t eat spicy, so I will like to recommend you jyu cheung fan. It is a thin roll made from a wide strip of rice noodles, filled with shrimp, beef, vegetables, or other ingredients. It is commonly served as a breakfast or snack in many street restaurants. It is also one of my favourite food. I’m pretty sure you will love it. See you soon!
