>assumes all /k/tards have never dined in michelin-starred restaurants

u have the money to eat good foods u can go ahead, local foods does not need michelin rating coz every malaysians know their taste, no matter how much popular those restaurant like paparich or watever restaurant still they serve local foods

many of them go those cafe restaurant yet they still eat hawker stall food the next day, how much u can spend on those restaurant like papa rich or old town white coffee? even if u earn 3k a month, u will not even willing to eat at those restaurant every single day without fail?

those restaurant are getting more famous everyday becoz it was convenient for them to eat when when u are working in office, u have only 1 hour break for lunch, don't come and say that you willing to drive 1km just to eat at hawker stall restaurant?

I have tried restaurants at the top end: noma, the fat duck and still find myself craving for malaysian foods.

No they are not over-rated.

Not everyone is Sek San (God of Eatery)... some food is good because it is good, some is "good" because we have been brainwashed to think it is "good".

someone here compare nasi lemak with nasi uduk

It 'feels' the best because we grew up with it ...

We are used to our own food!! Most ppl like their home country home cooked food!! It's just a biased opinion.

i've seen people eating cheap foods before they eat hawker foods or local foods like penang nyonya foods tapau from the restaurant at the shopping mall below their office building, in fact i was there doing some servicing work for a customer when their colleague bring back the packed foods fresh n everyone come to the pantry n enjoy their meal together not only malays but chinese n also foreigner too, they enjoys eating local foods, not those michelin starred restaurant.......

lulz... The most expensive I've been to so far is Chili, that oso somebadi belanja.

^because cheap food is cheap, and good for wallet.
not because it tastes good.

i like nasi lemak with boiled egg + many many many anchovies + sambal sotong

i dunt think ppl choose nasi lemak over mcd juz bcoz nasi lemak is cheaper..

its not actually that expensive. in the uk for example, some pubs are michelin-starred. you can get lunch at ramsay's restaurant for under 100 quid (set lunch at claridge's 30 quid, in fact), but you need to enter a waiting list. it's the quality (as roughly defined by the totally subjective judgment of the judges) rather than the price.

having said that i still like malaysian food more. problem, op?

problem

fair enough...some of us have been trained to like our food since young. that is understandable. read up about pavlov conditioning to learn more...

my point is, the rather cold reception for malaysian food elsewhere says a lot about our current cuisine. not enough creativity! how many new dishes coming out? every food court i go sells the same thing

Fair enough...it's true almost every food court sells the same stuffs. TS, any idea/ suggestion what should be done to bring our food to international mouths?

start from 9:25

anthony bourdain said penang laksa is a bloody magnificent dish, that americans would love it if its served there, and is a hearty dish. If u still wanna argue about his review then u must have had a better taste and standard than him, who has probably eaten a more expensive meal in a day than the entire meal u had in 1month. Heck he even had the chance to eat wagyu beef, foie gras, truffles, and caviar, so his review must be UNDISPUTED

No picture, cant really tell how top class the food yu gaise discussing.

He just being polite.

Have you been to obscure countries like Dagestan or republic of Ghana. Their cuisine might taste gooding than those fancy restaurant that you speak of despite their shitty materials. Who knows, you've never been there.

u tak suka u keluar stupid squidward saying malaysian food not nice and saying MALAYSIA third world country
