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...

Personal preference... im chinese but i'll choose a good plate of malay/ indon chap fan over chinese chap fan. In fact i prefer malay food over chinese food. It's just my taste bud.

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.

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".

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?

now banglas and myanmar run our stalls with "superb" sauces. i cant imagine 10 years laters how....we eat banglarized food i think...

Oic... maybe ur point is if PR takes over the government suddenly our food will become world class, and the cockroach food u mentioned earlier will become "exotic comfort food".
