My goal is to one day find, and dine at Malaysia's finest Mexican restaurant. I've learned now through Google that there's a few of them not far from here, but good lord they really charge a huge premium. A meal here would easily be nearly twice what I spend on a normal meal 😬

Twice as costly, twice as good? One can hope. Maybe you could hit it for a special occasion?

Aye, I'm definitely saving it for those special moments, that's for sure. I think I had a quesadilla at Chilli's once, and that was frankly subpar. But then again, it is Chilli's 🙃

We're lucky here, a diverse population means foods from all over. The quality is generally very good, There's bad too of course but generally its good. One of the advantages of multiculturalism.

I can agree to that, as there's loads of variety in Malaysia's foodie circles, too. Usually foreign stuff isn't always the best, such as Western foods. Although having a large Malay, Chinese, and Indian community means there's loads of those to go around, and sometimes a fusion of them.

I believe the most common is perhaps Mamak food, which is Malay-Indian-Muslim combo. Mamak restaurants here are quite the social place to hang out any time of day, and even way past midnight, sort of like a pub, in a sense.





I'm going to a Mamak restaurant when I'm up there next. Looks good!

Find the right Mamak restaurant, and I promise you, your taste glands will be blown away! It's similar to an Indian cuisine, but with a bit of Malay to it. Be careful though, those Mamak places really overdo it with the grease sometimes.
