Malay makes up 70% of Malaysia population, hence it is no wonder the Malay food has lots of varieties, further more, the ancient Malay was famous for it’s ‘rempah’ since the 16th century. Over years, the Malay food has been influenced by it’s nabouring countries including Indonesia, India and Thai.
As the Malay are Muslims, hence there are no pork or alcoholic found in their food. Chicken and beef as well as a variety of sea food become the main ingredient in Malay food.
The overall tone is spicy with a little tinge of sweetness. Herbs such as lemon grass, pandan leaves and wild ginger bus are common ingredients to accompany chilli – the main flavour for Malay dishes. No alcohol, pork and other non-halal meat (forbidden by the Muslim religion) is used. Beef and fish is used frequently. Traditionally, Malays wash and then eat with their hands from every meal while sitting across straw mats, but forks and spoons are more often used. Below are some of the more popular Malay dishes.
