The Malaysian’ Top 5 Choices of Cuisines On SHOPEEFOOD

Malaysians are frequently spoiled for choice due to our diverse cuisine culture. The charcoal-flamed, flavorful dish of Penang Char Kuew Teow, juicy and the deliciousness of Ipoh Chicken Rice, the famous and aromatic Nasi Lemak, and one of the Top 50 world’s greatest desserts, Cendol, are what first spring to mind when we think of our exquisite selection of cuisine.

You are not a Malaysian, as the saying goes if you do not enjoy Malaysian food. The crunchy and meaty Roti Canai appears to be a major favourite among ShopeeFood users from all six locations.

Also don’t forget the Fried Egg, also known as “Telur Dadar”.

The well-known Chicken Rice is also a must-have. Even though it appears to be only a plate of rice and a piece of steamed or roasted chicken, each mouthful brings new flavours to life.
