Delicious food has always been part of the Malaysian identity. The wide array of food choices ranging from local favourites to international flavours are easily obtainable no matter where you go. However, if you truly wish to have a Malaysian dining experience you may want to consider taking a vacation at a convenient location in Georgetown, Penang. The island is a melting pot of all Malaysian food as well as home to some of Malaysian most favourite dishes. So it is recommended that you make your vacation all about food if you wish to spend some time in this city and leave your diet plan at home because you will definitely enjoy the variety of flavours offered on this island.

If you decide to stay at a budget hotel at a convenient location in Georgetown you will have the chance to learn that Penang food is influenced by not one but many different cuisine ...
... such as the Indian, Malay, Chinese and Thai flavours. For your information, some of the best food in Penang cannot be found in fancy restaurants or high class lounges. Instead, you will have to roam the streets and every nook and cranny of the city to get the best char koay teow (stir-fried flat rice noodles), assam laksa (glass noodle in gravy), ais tingkap (syrup water with coconut juice and flesh) as well as the famous pasembur (local fruit salad). These delicacies are easily found all over the island and will only set you back a few ringgits per person.

You may also want to consider staying at a hotel at a convenient location in Malaysia where all the famous local food is easily accessible. You can easily do so in the heart of Kuala Lumpur as this is the city where all the cultures (and food) of every other state in Malaysia are widely available. It does not matter if you want food that originated from Johor, Melaka, Kelantan or even Sarawak because you can get it all here in the nation’s capital if you know where to look. Good food in this city may cost slightly higher than they do in their places of origin but the taste are usually just the same. There are some high-end restaurants that specialize in food from certain states in the country if you wish to include fine dining in your itinerary.

If you wish to try food that has more Chinese flavours in it, it is recommended that you find some at a convenient location in Ipoh. The town of Ipoh was once known as a mining town and you can easily find many old Chinese settlements here. Therefore, it is only natural that many of the food that originates from this town have at least some elements of Chinese food in it. Ipoh is definitely famous for her street food like the kacang putih (nothing white about this nut), prawn wantan noodle and chee cheong fun (flat rice noodles). Of course, these foods are also served in many restaurants and food outlets but nothing beats the original sold on the streets of Ipoh.

In general, food has always been part of the Malaysian culture and tasting Malaysian food is having a taste of the Malaysian culture. You will never run out of choice when it comes to food here in this country. All that matters is your own preference whether you like them spicy, sweet, sour or perhaps even a little bit bitter. No matter what food you choose, you can be sure that the diversity of Malaysian food will make your trip to this country a very memorable one indeed.
