Chee Cheong Fun

This is one of my favourite dishes to have in Malaysia, as it brings back many memories of road trips to Ipoh [a city in north-west Malaysia] when I was younger. This dish consists of a medium sized rice paper noodles, drenched in a sweet tomato sauce and mushroom sauce. It's topped off with sesame seeds, and some green pickled chillies on the side to add some of Malaysia's ~famous~ spice to the dish!

[about RM$10 a plate, roughly AUD $3.30]

Wan Tan Mee

This dish is also another classic childhood dish, eaten many times when I was younger! It consists of egg noodles, drenched in sweet and also savoury soy sauce. There are a variety of different toppings, depending on the tastes and preference of each individual. Personally, my favourite combination is mushrooms, veggies and pork, as each add a completely different texture and flavour that blend so seamlessly together! I highly recommend this dish!

Claypot Chicken Rice

This dish is quite popular in Malaysia, and I have gone back many times just to eat this. It is cooked in a clay pot [as per the name XD] with the rice being steamed on the bottom and the marinated chicken being placed on top after. The sauce from the marinate spreads throughout the pot and soaks into the rice, giving it a rice savoury flavour that is complimented with a side of cabbage. Definitely a firm favourite whenever I go back!

[about RM$20-$25 a pot, roughly AUD $6-8]

Note: these are just some of my favourite dishes, and if you ever visit Malaysia, I HIGHLY recommend you go try them out!  （＾－＾✿）
