Like, when you go out for Malay food these days, its usually

  • tomyam
  • western
  • fried chicken (berempah, kunyit etc)
  • nasi lemak, usually part of fried chicken series

Where had all the old timey traditional dishes gone? Somehow it seems like they only survive in nasi kerabu shops.

    Well nasi lemak is everywhere. /j

    But yeah, a lot of malay foodstall is basically goreng goreng, western, yong tau foo. The one that serve traditional dishes are usually the economy rice. It still out there for sure but it’s getting rarer i think.

    Depend on location probably. Smaller town or side road small stall usually have more traditional offering. Most of the larger shop have to cater to all and youngsters choice nowadays.

    I also wonder about our fellow Malay diet nowadays. How much has changed as we transition to modern lifestyle, and how much they keep to their traditional recipes?
