88 popular food Malayfood Traditional culinary style has been greatly influenced by the long-ago traders from neighboring countries, such as Indonesia, India, the Middle East, and China. Malay food is often described as spicy and flavorful as it utilizes a melting pot of spices and herbs. Common spices and herbs for Malay cooking includes lemon grass, Pandan (srewpine), Kaffir lime leaves, daun kemangi (type of basil), daum kesum (laksa leaves), nutmeg, turmeric are often used. Seasonings play an important role in Malay cooking as well, as they often enhance the food taste and flavors. Many of the seasonings are not dried spices but are fresh ingredients such as fresh turmeric, galangal, fresh chili paste, onions, and garlic. A combination of fresh seasonings and dried spices are normally pounded together to make a fine paste and cooked in oil. Fresh coconut milk is often added. Rice is the staple diet in any Malay meal. It is often served for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper too. The most popular rice dishes would be Nasi Lemak. Most meals are eaten by using your fingers, and eating utensils are kept to a minimum. All dishes are served at the same time, accompanied by a refreshing drink. Fish is popular in Malay cooking, as with other seafood such as shrimps and cuttlefish. Beef and mutton are very popular choices but never pork as it is against their religious beliefs to eat pork. The other popular white meat is chicken. One of the most unique Malay dishes is the “roti jala” (lacy pancakes), which sometimes replaces the staple rice. Roti jala is an ideal accompaniment to any dish with lots of rich gravy and is often served during special occasions. It is made from a mixture of plain flour and eggs, with a pinch of turmeric powder and butter.

popular food 89 Chinese foodChinese food in Malaysia is derived frommainland Chinese cuisine but has beeninfluenced by local ingredients and dishesfrom other cultures though it remains distinctlyChinese. Since most of Malaysia’s Chinese are from the south, particularly from Hainan and Hakka it is quite easy to find food from this region. It’s another of the local favorite Malaysian foods. The Hainanese also produced steamboat, sort of Oriental variation of the Swiss Fondue, where you have a boiling stockpot in the middle of the table into which you deep pieces of meat, seafood and vegetable. The Hokkienshave provided us the Hokkien fried Mee(thick egg noodles cook with meat, seafoodand vegetable and a rich soy sauce. Mindyou, if you go to North Malaysia, HokkienMee means prawn soup noodles. Hokkienspring rolls (popiah) are also delicious.Teochew food from the area around Swatowin China is another style noted for it’s delicacyand natural favorite. Teochew food is famousfor it’s seafood and another economical dish- Char Kwey Teow (fried flattened noodles)with clams, beansprout and prawns.When people in the west speak of Chinesefood, they probably mean Cantonese food. Itis the best known and most popular variety of Chinese food. Cantonese food is notedfor the variety and the freshness of it’s ingredients. The food is usually stir-fried withjust a touch of oil. The result is crisp and fresh.

food90 popular food Indian Indian influence in Malaysian cuisine started in the 19th century when large arrivals of Indian migrants were brought into the country as contract laborers to work in rubber estates and on the railways. Some did take the opportunity to set up trade in the textile and food industry. Indian cuisine can be divided into two mainstreams, Northern and Southern Indian cuisine. North Indian cuisine boasts of a diet rich in meat and uses spices and ingredients such as yogurt and ghee in dishes that are elaborate without being overly spicy. Here, bread and chapati (wheat-flour pancakes) replaces rice, which is the center of most South Indian meals. Coconut milk, mustard seeds, and chilies are also widely used in the Southern province. Spices are the heart and soul of Indian cooking. But the quantity and proportions vary with the geographical boundaries. Curry powder is almost never used. Spices are freshly grounded and added in many different combinations. Spices commonly used are coriander, turmeric, cumin, chilies, fennel, and fenugreek. Other fragrant spices added are cardamom, clove, cinnamon and star aniseed. Bread is the main item in most meals in North Indian cuisine. Therefore, a wide variety of bread is offered at these restaurants. Nann (leavened bread with poppy seeds) is a popular choice. The bread dough is rolled out and then slapped on the inside of the tandoori, near the top where it cooks very quickly in the fierce heat. It is then flavored with onion or garlic. Tandoori dishes are the most popular main courses in North Indian restaurants. Tandoori chicken is always a favorite, where whole baby chicken or chicken quarters are roasted in the clay oven for several hours in advance and then finished off on the barbecue.

Opened from 11 am, nights are filled with a great variety of music, from R&B to house and the house band plays during the dinner hours. Definitely a great place to chill out with friends over the weekend or anytime a break is called for!
