Malaysian Foods - Meals

Malaysian Meals

Malaysia is known for its wide variety of foods, ranging from the different cultures present in the country. Some of the foods listed below are some of my personal favourites, and definitely ones I go back to time and time again (◕ˇ ◕✿). The various textures and flavours present in these dishes will excite your taste buds, and leave you craving for more ~ 

Pan Mee

Pan Mee is a soup based dish found in Malaysia, known for the various textures and flavours that blend so seamlessly together. The noodles have a doughy texture, which tastes extraordinary with the soup and condiments in it. The soup has a meat based flavour, and this compliments the whole dish so well. On top, fried anchovies, vegetables, mushrooms and bits of meat are added to give the meal a variety of textures and flavours. Lastly, a soft-boiled egg is added on top to tie the whole dish together. This is one of my personal favourites, and I would highly recommend trying this when you visit Malaysia next! ~~ (◠‿◠✿)

About RM13-15 for each bowl [roughly AUD$4-5]

Ham Choy Tong - Salted Vegetable Soup

This soup is one of the best soups in Malaysia, and my personal favourite! It's salty but sour and slightly sweet taste leaves me craving for more, and will certainly make you think about it after you taste it ~ The soup is commonly served with Claypot Chicken Rice [blogpost found https://foods-international-100.blogspot.com/2019/05/malaysian-foods.html]. It consists of salted cabbage and tomato in the soup, and some spices added on top to further enhance the flavours of the soup. Definitely try this out! You won't regret it ~~ （＾－＾✿）

Roughly RM5-6 per bowl [about AUD$2]

 Bak Kut Teh 

This dish is commonly found in Malaysia, and eaten with rice. Usually served in one big bowl with herbed soup, beef, mushrooms and tofu, the dish comes in a variety of forms, including the one seen below. This Bak Kut Teh is found in Klang, a suburb roughly 40mins away from Kuala Lumpur [from my experience]. It comes in a dry and wet form, and I ordered the wet form. This particular Bak Kut Teh only comes with beef and soup, and is eaten with rice. Although it is not the traditional dish, the soup itself brings out layers and layers of flavours, and enhances the meat like no other. It was definitely a highlight for me, and I recommend going out of your way to try this out! (◕▿◕✿)

Roughly RM25-35 per table depending on how much is ordered [about AUD$9-12]
