Malaysia is a food paradise, with many different types of food for the visitor to try and enjoy. Three major races, each with its own cuisine, provides visitors a culinary adventure that will satisfy every food lover. Some Malaysian food is universally popular while others may take a bit of an acquired taste. Let's explore the food that Malaysia has to offer. I categorise them by ethnic group. Some foods may repeat under different ethnic groups, if that particular item has been adopted by different community as their own. Laksa, for example, appears more than once. Pisang Goreng in Malay is listed as Goreng Pisang under the Chinese category. Of course, on the other hand, there may also be food that has crossed from one community to another, but since it is entrenched to only one community, it is listed only once. At the end of it, I hope you have fun with the tasty treats below!
