Malaysia

Food Culture

Malaysia is a place of living for many nationalities and ethnic groups. Indian and Chinese immigrants brought to Malaysia their culture and cuisine traditions, whereas Europeans added West features to traditionally East heritage. Heavy traffic facilitates the access to various recipes and spices from different countries. The trade traditions and multicultural population make the nature of Malaysian cuisine ample and unique. The country is divided into 16 territories with cultural distinction for each of them. Each region has own traditions and cuisine as a result of immigration and colonization. Over time the traditions of their cooking assimilated with Malaysian food traditions and for now we have an original mix of local and foreign culinary arts. Spicy and original food of Malaysia cannot be found anywhere else in the world, and it combines the East and West taste traditions and ingredients, making it unique and delicious.
