When I was in Japan for WAGC, the Philippine representative, Martin asked me about Malaysian food. First thing came to mind was roti canai, then nasi lemak. Both of these are very unhealthy actually. Roti canai is quite oily, whereas nasi lemak is high in cholestrol. I couldn’t bring myself to mention these two to him, in the land of healthy sushis, sashimis and misos. I felt, inferior.
Now I am filled with regret. I did not do justice to Malaysian food. Being healthy is not necessary to qualify as great food. In fact, comparing to processed food, Malaysian food is probably much healthier.
But health aside, I can say Malaysian food taste really good, for example the ketupat and rendang daging above. My grandma made them, and I ate really a lot. Each ketupat is probably equivalent to half a plate of rice. So you can imagine how full am I now.
OK, Raya is not over yet. I’m off to eating a lot more. I’ll exercise later. 
The Rendang looks delicious. Nothing quite like Kampung rendang especially those that has been left overnight and cooked until it’s thick and gravy-like….
Yummy
hehe yea, have to balik kampung for that. Urbanites do not have the patience to cook that long.
im having stomach ache at the moment. Rendang + 100 Plus + Coffee + Junk Food + Livita seems to be a bad formula
