Eating Malaysian food should be a prerequisite for anyone proclaiming to be a gastronome. Malaysian food flavours are strengthened, not only by fierce spices and fragrants, but by a group of people that are intensely passionate about their cuisine.
I am lucky to be a Malaysian as we come from a multiracial country, we have exposure to all sorts of cuisine mainly Chinese, Indian, Malay.. you name it, we have it. Some of these ethnic cooking styles might be more bland or less spicy than others, but I have to say that all are equally interesting in their own way.
