@Nadia: Thanks for coming over from Twitter to check out our site and comment! We’ve been back to Malaysia a couple of times since writing this and have found even more delicious dishes. The influences from Malay, Chinese and Indian cuisines was what make eating in Malaysia such a treat.

Thank you for pointing out the typo – I’ve fixed it! We’ll let you know when we return to Malaysia – we use KL as one of our Asia hubs. Thanks for the offer!

Found your website through twitter and I wondered if you’ve visited Malaysia. Turned out you did and this is a very nice write-up about Malaysian food.

We Malaysians love our food so much that when we meet people, instead of asking ‘How are you?’ we ask, ‘Have you eaten your lunch/dinner?’

I did notice a typo, under KL food. Sambal Satong? It’s actually Sotong (squid).
If you happen to come again, I would love to treat you to a glass of teh tarik and hear your travel experiences.

Late in the game here-

I have a question about the curries.

Is it most common to use fresh made coconut milk among the street vendors there, or do they use canned coconut milk like most if not all SE Asian restaurants do here in the US?

Also, do Malaysians eat mainly Jasmine rice like Thais?

Thanks!

[...] Malaysia, specifically Penang, has to be up there in the street food category: http://www.uncorneredmarket.com/2009…g-in-malaysia/ [...]

@Nsalba: Next time around, we’ll definitely visit Borneo…and with your help, hopefully dig even deeper into Malaysian cuisine.

As a Malaysian Chinese reading a white writing about our food, I think you did quite a good job of describing them, though not in great details, but good enough. If you ever were to come this way again, dont forget to visit my island Borneo, I promise you you will be surprised at the choice of hawker food fare here. Take a look at my website on food.
cheers and keep on exploring!

@Karen: Go ahead, please link to this page. I think it’s fascinating to watch the spread and evolution of ethnic and artisanal foods around the world. Good luck with your Malaysian food business and keep in touch.

Beautiful pictures guys… and that saying about Chinese people is SO true. I’m Malaysian-Chinese, born in Johor Bahru, now residing in Denver, CO. My family loves food – from the moment we wake up, till we go back to sleep, we’re constantly munching.

I actually just started my own Malaysian food business a year ago, making/selling a bunch of delicious goodies that I love and miss so much at farmers markets – my western replica of the hawker stall. Check it out via my website – http://www.wee-bites.com. Can I link your website (particularly this page) to my website?

Have fun traveling!

@Jarratt: Thanks for the correction on the noodle swap.

@Lola: Many thanks!

@Melanie: Thanks! You would have a ball in Malaysia. Now that you mention it, the thought of laksa does make me weep…but food nearly brings me to tears all the time
