Malaysians love to eat so much that a regular form of greeting between us is, ‘eh, dah makan ke?’. The Malay phrase that translates to, ‘eh, have you eaten yet?’, unites us in our love for good eats any time of the day because there’s always a place to eat no matter the time here in Malaysia.
But our love for food isn’t weird, our local cuisines are amazing eats after all. In fact, our food is so good that not one but two of our dishes have been added to a list of the top 100 best foods in the world.
