Well-known Malay foods include: satay (barbequed meat on skewers), nasi padang (rice served with a variety of side dishes), mee siam (spicy noodles) and nasi lemak (rice cooked in coconut milk, served with fish). Sambal, a fiery chilli-paste often accompanies a meal. Chinese favorites include yong tau foo (a dish of vegetables, seafood and meat-stuffed items), chicken rice (a fragrant dish of rich served with slivers of tender chicken) and laksa (noodles in a curry-like soup). Popular Indian fare includes: nasi beriyani (yellow rice cooked with spices and served with chicken or mutton) and paratha (Indian pancake eaten with curry). Source: HungryMonster Writers |
