What And Where To Eat In Malaysia?

For millions of travellers from different parts of the world, Malaysia is one of the best tourist destinations. Apart from being a shopping haven, the country is also known for providing a host of other benefits to the visitors. Interestingly, Malaysia has a very rich food culture that has been influenced by the Chinese and Indian cuisines. Not surprisingly, the Malay cuisine is often described as the fusion between these varied cuisines that provide a unique flavour to the Malay cuisine.

Most well known restaurants in the country specialize in specific cuisines enjoyed by both the local crowd and visitors from other countries. Local delicacies such as Rendang, Nasi Lemak and Satay are prepared traditionally to retain the original flavours. Rendang which is a dry curry is a very spicy meat preparation while Nasi Lemak is perhaps the most common Malay breakfast. Satay, though derived from the Thai preparation, has a spicy twist with a dipping sauce. Preparations with Chinese elements include Bak kut teh which is a soup made from pork ribs, char kway teow – flat rice noodles prepared with soy sauce and cockles, and the spicy Hainanese chicken rice.

Several well known restaurants and eateries are to be found in Malaysia. Bukit Bintang and KLCC are especially popular as hubs of Malay nightlife. There are a number of high end restaurants that remain crowded by the young crowd. Bijan bar and restaurant provides a great atmosphere to enjoy fusion food. Named the Best Malay Restaurant in 2004 by Tourism Malaysia, this high end restaurant offers signature dishes to its guests.

Another world class restaurant is CoChine restaurant and bar SaVanh. With its exquisite architecture and signature dishes, the restaurant has managed to attract the attention of millions of visitors. Some other options for the tourists include the Tattoo Restaurant, Celestial court at Sheraton Imperial, Delicious at the Marc Residence and more.

Those who enjoy gambling, Malaysia is a great option as it houses some of the top casinos in South Asia such as Casino de Genting. In addition to offering several gambling options, this place is also known for the large number of restaurants that have gained immense popularity.
