Malaysia Culture

Food is Fusion

If Malaysia is renowned for its cultural diversity, then it is the cuisine that substantiates this claim. From Nyonya dishes (a mix of Chinese and Malay flavors, apropos the Peranakan culture) to Mamak food (a blend of Indian and Malay fare), Malaysians understand and know how to have a feast while practicing muhibah.

Durian season

The major durian season usually begins in the middle of June until the end of August where durian sales are at their peak; however, there are a few minor ones throughout the year. In Malaysia, you can see people eating freshly opened durian at the durian roadside stalls. Other than that, Malaysians also love eating durian with rice, coconut milk, and sugar; and even make durian ice cream. Some even ferment it and use it as a pickle. The ingredients are so active that sealed bottles have been known to explode under pressure! Durian is known as the King of Fruits, but not everyone can bear the pungent odor.

Everyone drinks Milo

Babies and adults, expats and locals, monkeys and humans all bond over Milo (pronounced ‘my-low’). This chocolate-and-malt drink is so integral to Malaysian existence that local food courts and coffee shops will serve Milo, but not chocolate. (“You want hot chocolate? You mean hot Milo?”) It comes in various forms, too — iced, jellied, caked, cocktailed, and dinosaured. During sports day, Milo Trucks will visit school to give out free Milo to students, and that is almost every Malaysian’s childhood memory.

Mamak - the Night Life of Malaysian

In Malaysia, you see Malaysians hanging out at Mamak stalls until late to chill with friends and watch live sports tournaments such as soccer, baseball, badminton tournaments. We Malaysians take our Mamak seriously! Mamak stalls remain open till way after midnight, and some operate 24 hours a day which allows us to get a delicious supper. If you are a traveler, make sure to get these most ordered Mamak foods in Malaysia – Tandoori chicken, mee Mamak, rojak, naan, nasi kandar, roti canai, nasi biryani, Maggi Goreng.

Always Summer

Malaysia is situated on the line of khatulistiwa, which means Malaysia does not have four seasons (spring, summer, autumn winter), but only sunny and rainy days throughout the year. The Malaysia four season: sunny, very sunny, rainy, very rainy. It’s not common to see Malaysians have thick clothings in their wardrobe because they don’t get the chance to wear it anyways.
