Malaysia Fun Facts: Malaysia Food Guide

Today let’s check out one of those Malaysia fun facts about Malaysian food. No, I’m not arguing over our so-called national food nasi lemak and obesity problem among Malaysian students. We all know consuming too much “lemak” from the santan (coconut milk) is no good.

As you know Malaysians love to eat or should I dare say live to eat; even die to eat, so to speak. Some Malaysian Chinese prepare and offer to the deceased during the All Souls’ Day (Tomb Sweeping Festival) or better known as Cheng Meng.

Then there is this public service announcement over at LiteFM, promoting One Malaysia. The voice-over by deejay Ross, says that our wide choices of delicious can unite all Malaysians of all races. Multi-racial Malaysians can sit down and chow down Malaysian food together.
