Hello there, I'm Sudha Mohan from Malaysia. Being borned and raised in Malaysia has given me the opportunity to taste the many flavours of Malaysian Cooking. The food ranges from malay, chinese and indian delicacies. But at the same time there are also many other races staying here such as the baba nyonya, portugis community, ceylonis etc.
Their food are just as good. The peranakan (baba nyonya) people are famous for their nyonya cuisine. Their kuihs is something to taste and talk about. Their food are very rich in coconut milk. I'm am still a learner in their cuisine. After many trial and errors that I have now know to do some of their kuihs. Among their favourites are Kuih Lapis, Kuih Koswee, Kuih Bangkit, Sambal Ikan, Lemak Sayur etc.
In malay cuisine the lemon grass, fresh turmeric, galangal, shrimp paste are among the important ingredients. They also use coconut milk in their curries. There are 14 states in Malaysia and in each state the malays have a different type of cooking.
Among their famous dishes are the rendang (made with chicken or beef), serunding, nasi lemak, asam pedas, many varieties of sambal etc. Most of their food are hot and spicy similar to indian cuisine. There are also the Indian-Muslim community who are famous for their roti canai and curries.
Below are a few delicacies for all of you to try:
