Malaysian Food at Last

Last time we were in Malaysia we had difficulty finding Malaysian food; a religious holiday meant that most of the Muslim restaurants were closed. So we could get Chinese and Taiwanese food but not a Nasi Lemak; Japanese and Korean was available but we couldn't get a Mee Goreng and; Italian, Spanish and Thai food was everywhere but a Roti Canai was nowhere to be seen.

Thankfully it has been different this time and we've made the most of it.

Roti Canai? Grabbed at a small hole-in-the-wall kind of place along with a sweet, stretched tea and it was delicious. As was the chicken curry and yellow rice, and the Mee Goreng and  prawn Sambal. The Nasi Lemaks have been delicious as has been the Nasi Paru (Cow lung, apparently) and the Mee Jawa. A rough looking canteen turned out a superb Gado Gado and a decent Mee Goreng.

And a glutton's sampling plate of Malaysian desserts was a real success.
