/r/MalaysianFood is a food subreddit dedicated to all Malaysian food and to connect all Malaysian food lovers. Photos, discussions, videos, history, recipes, memes, news & blogs about Malaysian cuisine. Recipes and your homemade dishes are especially welcome.

Welcome to the Malaysian food subreddit. Perhaps you are here because you are a Malaysian, living locally or abroad, longing to relive the tastes and scents of the food you ate here. Or you are from another country that have visited Malaysia or enjoyed a Malaysian meal in a restaurant. Whatever the case, you will find this subreddit a fascinating insight into the culture, history and people behind the variety of Malaysian food.

This sub aims to immerse you in the true experience of Malaysian food that has been greatly influenced by its wonderfully multicultural population, from local ethnic communities to the Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Arab and European people. After looking at our immense selection of noodle and rice dishes found nowhere else, meat and seafood dishes drenched in fiery and punchy spices, and exotic desserts spun out of indigenous ingredients, you will soon discover that Malaysians have adventurous taste buds, and learn why food is indeed Malaysia’s national obsession.

Non malaysian food, but bought in malaysia and eaten in malaysia. CHEETOS taste like Cheezel

Is this what all the west revere as a good cheese puffs? It doesnt taste bad but not great either. It taste just like cheezels for people who are thinking if trying this. I like super ring better

Super Ring has better puffs and cheese flavour, cheaper too🙈

Any hotel buffet or restaurant buffet with Christmasy vibes to recommend? Balanced meal options, not looking for malaysian traditional food this time but probably western? For Christmas haha.

With a delicious dessert spread? 🤤I've never really frequent hotel buffets but in my childhood and during a couple of work travels, I have always loved eating the hotel buffets especially breakfast with the gazillian pastries. Loved the experience, very fancy haha.

I want to bring my family(mother and younger brother) to try some intentionally this time. But I feel some are hit or miss for me despite the high price tag. The food just felt like lukewarm meh sometimes. And the desserts are more often a miss. The fruits aren't that ripe and the cakes like stale tasteless sponge lol. But I really think it's because I haven't been to the right one or an expensive enough place 😂

For budget, Im not sure what is a good amount? Maybe ~rm70 per person?

Fine Dining/Restaurant Recommendations?

I am planning to celebrate a special occasion with my gf and was looking for restaurant recommendations. It can be any type of cuisine, just give me all of them recommendations.

If its a place where there is a dress code or something of that nature it would be great. Since it would be a great opportunity for the both of us to dress up .

Total Budget: 450-750RM

Seen in a Costco in Melbourne. Didn't buy as I'm not fully convinced that it is worth the price.

Which Malay pantry staples could be good to gift foodie partner (and survive the flight)

Hi, I am in Malaysia right now (visiting Singapur soon) and I really want to buy something to my partner who couldn't come here. He loves cooking, and I want to bring him something that he can try and add to his cooking. Something that is local, something that can't be easily bought in our home country: he already has a pantry full of curry pastes, spice blends, gochujang, chilli powder, miso pastes, etc (think mostly essential staples associated to indian, japanese, korean and chinese cuisines, though if there is something Malay along these lines that fits I will look into it!)

To give more information: he is vegetarian (eggs and dairy are okay), loves spicy, sour and dishes with complex and/or unusual flavours. He loves tea, tamarind and mustard. He is not so fond of coffee nor sweets (so no gula Malaka nor white coffee).

While researching I have come across certain recommendations, so I have written them down, but I'm open to more ideas:

-Sarawak pepper: it sounds good, but I am not sure I have run into this while visiting supermarkets. Is it hard to find or am I just blind?

-Cili pedi? Cili geling?: I may be misremembering the exact name. The bag I found was liquid, and it worries me that it might break or may spoil fast once open

-Pandas: it sounds intriguing, but only if I find it in a jar/paste/someway that I can fly back home

Fyi I am also bringing durian chocolate, tea bags and Penang biscuits! This is just to find something that I feel is a little more hidden. Any help would be appreciated 😄
