4 Top Foods to Try in Malaysia

It's no secret that Malaysians are passionate about their food. Thanks to our melting pot of cultures, we're blessed with a whole lotta good food that blends a range of cuisines and flavours. Here, in alphabetical order, is our list of 50 must-eat Malaysian foods.
Top 50 Malaysian Foods
Apam | Thin or fat, chewy or crispy, apam may have come from Sri Lanka, but it's a firm favourite in Malaysia. A kind of crepe, it can be had plain or with a sweet santan sauce and even filled with anything from crushed peanuts to sweet corn. Found in most pasar malams, we've got some places you can get your fill of apam!

Ayam Percik | In Malaysia, we're not satisfied with simply barbequing pieces of chicken marinated in turmeric and chilli powder. After grilling them to a nice crisp, we douse them in a thick sauce made from coconut milk, ginger, and garlic with hints of tamarind and lemongrass for a tangy kick. The ayam percik goes wonderfully with rice dishes like nasi kerabu, a combo which you can find at Hayaki.

Cendol | We'd go for this simple shaved ice treat over any fancy dessert any day! A mound of ice so finely shaved it'd melt at the touch of your spoon, it's served with pandan worm-like jellies with a generous amount of creamy santan and rich, earthy gula Melaka. Cendol is best had on a scorching hot Malaysian day.

Roti Canai | Roti canai is the go-to dish in any mamak small, popular for breakfast all the way through to supper and beyond! A fluffy Indian bread, order it extra garing (crispy) to go with dhal with a dollop of sambal or various curries. A local favourite, we combed through Selangor to bring you some of thebest!
