Malaysian Cuisine
About Malaysian Food
Malaysian food is heavily influenced by the food of other countries including Chinese, and Indian as well as the native Malay or Peranakan style of cooking. These influences extend from the use of the wok as the main cooking pan, to a combination of a number of spices in many of the dishes.
Malaysian food uses an amazing blend of flavours aimed at making your 'tastebuds jump up and down' and the thing that raises it to an art form is the combination of textures, tastes and colour. And nothing is more colourful than the cleverly layered rice-flour and coconut sweets called Kueh.
