Banana Leaf Rice
Banana Leaf Rice~~~The Indian food is usually hot and spicy. They eat their food with a variety of curries. As in accordance with their Hindu beliefs, they do not eat beef. Usually Indian food is sold at the various local stalls and often ordered with a glass of teh tarik meaning “pulled tea”. The tea is thick and frothy. The preparation involves passing the tea and milk from one big metal mug to the other with a “pour and pull” action.

Roti Canai
Roti canai is a flatbread found in Malaysia,
and is also known as Roti Prata in Singapore. It is served with either dhal,
chicken curry kuah(sauce) or fish curry kuah. The dough is twirl until it becomes very thin
and then folded in a circular shape, and the folded dough is grilled with oil.
The ideal Roti is flat, fluffy on the inside and crispy and flaky on the
outside. Various improvements on plain roti have been devised to suit
Malaysians. The common variations include Roti Telur (flatbread with fried
eggs), Roti Tisu (Paper Thin Flatbread), Roti Bawang (Onion Flatbread), Roti
Bom (small but thick roundbread), Roti Planta (Flatbread stuffed with
margarine), Roti Sardin (Flatbread stuffed with Sardin), and Roti Pisang
(Flatbread stuffed with banana).
Satay
Satay-grilled, skewered meat served with
tangy peanut sauce, and fresh cucumber and onion slices. That’s how a
dictionary would define. At Satay Malaysia, the definition is more specific.
The meat needs to be of prime quality and it is grilled over charcoal flames in
the age old traditional way. Quality ingredients are used for the peanut gravy,
the secret recipe of which has been passed down through four generations of the
Abbas family in Malaysia. It’s this commitment to quality that has made Satay
Malaysia a success. All chicken and beef satays are 100 percent hand skewered
using truly authentic Malaysian ingredients. A fact you’ll soon discover
yourself. It’s the perfect complement to any social occasion – parties,
picnics, barbecues or a satisfying family meal at home. It's a favorite snack
food but is also often served for an appetizer and sometimes as a main dish.
Penang Laksa
Penang Assam Laksa–commonly
referred to as “laksa” by Penangites–is one hawker
food you don’t want to miss if you come to Penang.
|
This Laksa is not to be confused with the other Laksa. Penang Laksa is a
noodle dish in spicy fish broth topped with various shredded vegetables. Give
me a choice of Penang Assam Laksa and Curry Laksa (which Penangites aptly call “Curry Mee“), I will always choose this tangy, spicy, sour, and
appetizing dish. The reason is simple: nothing gives me a better satisfaction
than a bowl of piping hot Laksa with cut bird’s-eye chilies and dollops of
pungent heh ko (Penang-style prawn paste).
All the ingredients used might seem odd and bizarre to many–please believe me
when I say this–but they are perfect matches made in food heaven. Penang Laksa
is really that good…
Nasi Lemak
Nasi lemak served with
anchovies, peanuts, egg, lamb curry, vegetables, and sambal belacan
.
Nasi
lemak is
a fragrant rice dish cooked
in coconut milk and "pandan" leaf . Malaysia
proclaims it its national dish and a national heritage of Malaysia, although it's widely served in other parts of the
region. However, because of the nasi lemak's versatility in being able to be
served in a variety of manners, it is now served and eaten any time of the day.Traditionally,
this comes as a platter of food wrapped in banana leaves, with cucumber slices,
small fried anchovies (ikan bilis), roasted peanuts, hard
boiled egg, and hot spicy sauce (sambal) at its core. As a more substantial meal, nasi
lemak can also come with a
variety of other accompaniments such as ayam goreng (fried chicken), sambal
sotong (cuttlefish in chilli), cockles, stir fried water convolvulus (kangkong), pickled vegetables (acar), beef rendang (beef
stewed in coconut milk and spices) or paru (beef lungs). Traditionally most of
these accompaniments are spicy in nature.Nasi lemak is widely eaten in Malaysia
and Singapore, even as a dish served in Malaysian schools. Commonly a breakfast
dish in both countries, it is normally sold at hawker food centres in Singapore
and roadside stalls in Malaysia. It often comes wrapped in banana leaves,
newspaper or brown paper,and it could be served on a plate.
