Unfortunately I don't know that many expats that really like Malaysian food... at the most they only like one or two dishes - and most times it is the same old type of food - mostly the Penang type.

Generally, Malaysian food is considered spicy and blowjobly-mixed of tastes. I know many Middle Easterners who dislike our food because their taste buds are rather more bland and they are not into rice. Many of my Indian bosses say that North Indian cuisine in Malaysia sux to max.

For British, I know they are insanely in love with Malaysian food, but not all Europeans or Americans. Generally Thai food still tops their list.

For Chinese food - no, the Chinese food in Hong Kong beats KL down to zero. Interesting to note, Taiwan's Din Tai Fung is considered the most tasty restaurant.
For Malay food - many Americans prefer Indonesian food.
For Indian food - we don't really serve authentic Indian actually, ours is more like Mamak. For Indian, you cannot get any better Indian cuisine from India.
There is no Malaysian food or restaurant in the latest top food survey.

But c'mon, food is not a priority list for foreigners unlike we Malaysians especially me who are obsessed with food.

If our food is really that great, our food would not have to rebrand as Singaporean or Southeast Asian in overseas. As compared to Thai or Vietnamese, the general perception of Malaysian food is still low even in London or Shanghai or New York City.

we can make it one.... lets see how japanese, taiwan food appear in US~ come you can join the force. Lets do that in a team we need you.

And btw our satay, curry chicken, mee goreng, char kway teow, roast chicken rice, fried popiah, pak chang kai (nasi ayam hailam), curry mee, roti canai (or famously called pratha), chapati, murtabak, teh tarik, cannot be considered as Malaysian in overseas as too many countries are claiming them...

The real Malaysian is nasi lemak, asam laksa, rojak and rojak mee, nasi kandar, etc.

Interesting to note that when I was in Australian college residences, some of the ignorant Aussies thought Satay was from Thailand because our college served with Chicken Skewed with Thai Chilli Sauce. Satay is originally from Indonesia - same as batik, some of the joget dances, etc.

Talking about that, how can we promote our niche as Food when an expat walking around in our top shopping malls would more than ever be influenced by all the foreign food. Where is our local food? Papparich? Oldtown? Food Court? KFC? McD?

u forgot car kueh teoh . bake but teh . cendol . nyoya kuih la.

Singapore say bak kut teh is belong to them. Noticed how popular is bak kut teh in their food court these days.... but sad, their bak kut teh is pepper type one.

A Scottish guy asked me does Malaysia has its own local beer? He considers that as local beverage - a proud distinctive identity and heritage of an emerging nation.

Philippines - San Miguel Beer
Thailand - Chang Beer
Indonesia - Bintang Beer
Cambodia - Khmer Beer
Vietnam - Bia Hoi - world's cheapest beer
Singapore - Tiger Beer

Malaysia - Apanama Beer?


Malaysia, like its food, is actually a jack of all trade. We are a collection of all the local things of those neighboring countries. That is our advantage, because Malaysia represents abit of every part of Asia, hence we call ourselves Truly Asia - a very successful tourism slogan in the world!

Mix of culture, house, food , clothing, religion, games, art, etc.

Tomorrow u bring to see Chinese house am, afternoon go play that wau gasing batik drawing, and evening see Indian temple etc
