Save now 5 street foods you must try when traveling to Malaysia

"It's definitely durian ramen, roti tisu chocolate, Murang King durian, Nasi Lemak, and mandarin duck hotpot," Nguyen Hoang Yen (22 years old, Content Creator) shared with PV Travellive. She said that Malaysian cuisine is mainly sweet, spicy, and very little salty. The flavors are quite interesting and unique, and are also blended together in a perfect way.

1. Durian Ramen

Everyone knows durian and ramen, nothing strange. But when these two dishes are combined, it is a culinary explosion. Ramen is served in a Musang King durian shell, which contains ramen noodles with green onion soup, boiled eggs, and especially durian rice.

The chewy noodles are cooked in pork bone broth mixed with fresh durian segments, rich and fragrant. "When you eat it, it feels like you are eating a sweet and savory dish. The flavors blend together, very rich and full of durian flavor," she shared.

It's not easy to eat durian ramen, because the restaurant only sells 20 portions a day. "It took Yen two days to eat durian ramen, so you have to line up early in the morning to experience this dish," Hoang Yen noted.

Price: 40 - 42 RM (about 206,000 VND)

Address: Menya Shishido Restaurant (No.2 Jalan 51a/ 225 Petaling Jaya, Malaysia)

2. Roti Tisu Chocolate

Originating from India, Roti Tisu (Roti Tissue) is a flatbread that looks like a piece of paper. The bread is usually rolled out to about 70 cm, a bit too big for the average person to eat. This dish is grilled on a pan, and is sweet, so it is suitable for those with a sweet tooth.

"When eating roti tisu chocolate, I think of rice paper or grilled rice paper in Vietnam. The dough is rolled out thinly, pressed on a pan, then spread with a little butter and sugar on the inside. The outside is drizzled with a little chocolate. When eaten, it is both soft and crispy, very unique. In addition, there are also many dishes sold here, including Tea Tahrik, a typical Malaysian milk tea that you should try," she said.

Average price: 7 - 8 RM (36,000 - 41,000 VND)

Address: Restaurant Ali Food Corner (open until 2-3am)

3. Musang King durian

Musang King is the national durian of Malaysia. An interesting thing is that the tail of the durian has a five-pointed star shape, corresponding to the five segments of the durian. The flesh of Musang King durian is turmeric yellow, sweet, has a very characteristic aroma, not too strong, bitter.

When enjoying, we will feel all the rich flavor of durian segments and the satisfying feeling when biting deeply but not touching the seed because the seed is flat.

"Musang King has a strong aroma, a creamy taste, and the durian flesh is very soft and moist, not dry like other durian varieties. If you are a true durian lover, you must definitely try this durian," the female content creator commented.

4. Nasi Lemak

Nasi Lemak is a popular and long-standing rice dish in Malaysia, it is available on most streets in this country. If Saigon is famous for broken rice, whose "soul" is fish sauce, then Malaysia has Nasi Lemak with its characteristic fragrant and fatty coconut milk. The rice is also cooked with pandan leaves, so it is very fragrant and soft.

Nasi Lemak rice cannot be served without crispy salted roasted peanuts, dried fish, dried venison, chili sauce, boiled eggs, cucumber. Sometimes chicken, beef, seafood or lamb curry are added. It looks simple but this dish is very addictive with a slightly spicy and sweet taste, with a little saltiness to make the dish more harmonious. The rice grains are soft, fragrant and fatty with the smell of coconut milk.
