Tantalize your tastebuds with scrumptious Maylasian food during fabulous Food 1Malaysia

MALAYSIA - With Chinese, Indian and Arabic influences, Malaysian specialties are both diverse and exciting creating a real treat for the pallet. Food experiences in Malaysia are also known to be extremely varied ranging from street food to fine dining which has firmly established the destination on the gourmet map. Each month will be dedicated to a new food experience. During November, the festival will be focusing on gourmet food and all high-end eateries, whilst in December the spotlight will be ASEAN Food Heritage Trail month, Malaysia’s foodie roadshow showcasing cuisine from across the country. The festival wraps up in January with a month dedicated to Malaysia’s fabulous restaurants and world-renowned street food.

The festival is the ideal opportunity to discover the country’s tantalising dishes including Yong Tau Foo, a clear soup originally from China which is commonly served with a large variety of ingredients such as fish balls, crab sticks, lettuce, ladies fingers, cuttlefish and chilies to name a few. For further street food delights, try Mee Rebus, Southeast Asia’s staple noodle dish served with a variety of vegetables and tofu and a fragrant curry gravy. From humble origins to one of the most celebrated Malaysian dishes, Char Kway Tweo is a tasty stir fry made from rice noodles, seafood, beansprouts, soy sauce and chilies, which also heavily features in any street food festival. Any round-up of Malaysian food wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Rendang, the traditional and tasty curry with stewed meat served at ceremonies and now adopted all over Southeast Asia.

With more UK travellers citing food as one of their main reason to travel, Malaysia is the perfect destination for any galloping gourmet looking to try out new flavours.
