Got proof to back up your statement?

Satay = stolen from China's Xinjiang province. If u tour Xinjiang market, u can see exact same thing - the only difference is they use bamboo thin sticks and no ketupat.

Rojak = stolen from surabaya traditional delicacy.

Hainan chicken rice = stolen from hainanese people in china.

Penang CKT = stolen from hakkanese food called Pan Tiao - u see that in china. Fried in same way, except they dont use siham. They use pork strips.

Many locals sing praise about our food (so faptastic). But isit that good? most never seen the outside world. Thai food is major success worldwide. Tom yam half the world know. Our food? bah kut teh barely international. Got a few malaysian restaurants in europe and US, never really took off and expand wildly. interest level quite low. Compare world class sushis
Why? our food generally of low quality produce and use salty, heavy sauce to compensate. Not surprising given our 3rd world status (thanks to BN )

Mee goreng? just some fried noodles
Asam laksa? Thai's tom yam more memorable
Roti canai? oily pancake..thats all...
bah kut teh? this one more interesting...but plenty of interseting china dishes that never gone international....bah kut teh meat is consider just so-so compare to top produce from France.
Just compare our produce even!
Durians...best sent to Singapore
Mangosteen...best sent to Japan
Seafood...selects sent to Hong Kong
Left rubbish for us local.....

When a simple burger like Kaw Kaw (by western standards) can become a huge fad, we know our food need serious improve! I say our standard has dropped way below 20 years ago! Pls no more tidak apa attitude and self praise!
u like salt sugar and MSG? just dump them into mee and discard everything. oh wait thats char kuey teow! there...your kind of food.

The burger kaw kaw is famous because burger is our kind of food. We don't have a lot of people who want to open Malaysia food in other countries that's why we are not famous. What do you think about, keropok ikan terengganu, kari kepala ikan, ayam pedas, ayam masak kicap, budu, tempoyak, nasi kukus, nasi dagang, nasi kerabu, rendang, gulai kawah, nasi minyak(my favourite), ayam percik, martabak. How about all this food? Do you think it is all rubbish?

lol at the guy who says food in Malaysia is stolen. there's a difference between stealing and modifying which is what the Chinese ancestors in Malaysia did like adding Malaysian chili sambal to fry CKT etc.

damn.

delicious is subjective, if u think rm1000 food is always better than rm5 food just because of the more expensive price tag, you have something wrong in your mentality. to you, cheap food = crap. bullshit. u really think raw materials so expensive? go sabah for example, the fresh seafood there are very cheap
go to restaurant, prepare to pay rm300+ for a rm50 fish.

roti canai cockroach food? LOL. why are we arguing with a troll anyway. I doubt this guy actually has the money to eat luxurious food like he claim. probably a poorfag that have no chance to taste the so called luxurious food. btw, "luxurious" steak, lobster, pasta, all are above average at best. its well known that overpriced food=overrated shit.

LAKSA is becoming more and more prominent all over the world. i've seen international cuisine shows that refers to laksa as if it's a very common dish that the audience are expected to know. like for example, "this tastes almost like LAKSA, but runnier...".

now, TV show hosts dont use that sorta reference unless it's common, like PIZZA or BURGER.

This kind of food quite low interest even among us....rarely seen ppl raving about nasi kerabu compare to say bah kut teh or asam laksa....

not much different from indonesian food too..which is not famous also worldwide...

BS lah... have you seen CNN's top 10 most delicious food in the world? #1 is massaman curry (fr thailand), msian food is not even top 20 list.

not say rotten...but just disapoint after come back from great places with top food. As a meat and seafood lover, really lacking in malaysia. a decent lobster also hard to find...

tell me good sir...what is your heavenly food of malaysia that cost rm5?

And most people forget about nasi lemak.. lots of foreigner praise the delicious-ness of the nasi lemak and yet malaysian label it as cockroach food...

how many michelin starred restaurants are there in malaysia? zero?

most malaysians, including myself, have close to zero exposure to what good food actually is.

even the shitty shitty shitty places that serve shitty shitty shitty food like pappa rich and  old town are doing very good business and growing everyday. it just shows how poor us malaysians are at telling good food from bad.
