Trying Traditional Malaysian Food

There's nothing like feeling at home in a place that is far from it (Canada, in our case!). We get the warm and fuzzies at our 'local' restaurant in Malaysia where the food is delicious and the people are super friendly. We love to order traditional Malaysian food from the huge menu. In this video, we take you along for a huge meal of some of the best of Malaysian cuisine: roti canai, roti cheese, nasi goreng ayam, mee goreng ayam, soto ayam, sirap ros, sirap laici, nasi kulipis, and roti bom, which is so good it makes other food feel bad about itself. It all gets washed down, of course, with Malaysia's national drink: teh tarik.

Because they mainly use fork and knife in Canada. So basically eating rice with fork is a normal thing to them. And im not sure about the noodles and spoon

[@nurdianarahim4468]

Westerners eats with fork and knife even rice because rice is considered as side dish...not the main dish where us in Asia use fork and spoon for almost everything...but traditionally we eat with hand and that's the best! Also depends on what type of food...

[@shunjike7]

Did you notice that the waiter didn't write down your order and just remembering it his head? Amazingly he can bring the correct food that you've ordered. That is the beauty of 'kedai mamak' in Malaysia 😁

[@ReefearEapear]

Some people order hot drink not because they will drink it immediately. They order for hot drink because of health preferences. Other than that, some dishes need to be prepare 10 to 20 minutes before serve to customers. So in waiting time, the drinks will cool down by themselve in room temperature. That is why some people order hot drinks in the middle of hot weather.

Try roti bom with curry...very delicious combination spice-sweet-salty. Tips: u can ask mamak for 2 dips...sometimes 3 (curry/dhal/sambal/condensed milk) at one time, they wont mind especially when u ordered that much of food loll 😆 Also, must try roti banjir (roti canai topped with lots of curry+dhal...not dip)

Fork and spoon are use together when eating that soto, nasi goreng ayam and mee goreng.

hi Eileen, you will not find Soto chicken at any mamak restaurant in west Malaysia. You only can find it in East Malaysia. in West Malaysia they dont call that Soto Chicken. the way to eat that is you should put white pepper, blended chili and soy sauce and mix well. you can find this ingredient in the basket on your table.
