Features of traveling in Malaysia
I'm currently traveling the world with my teenage son, so we've been to many countries, but especially Malaysia offers 90-day travel to Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, Penang, Kota Kinabalu, etc.(You can check it out on the YouTube channel @traveljoong.)
I would like to record the honest feelings I had while traveling in Malaysia for the benefit of Koreans who visit this country in the future.
Malaysia is a great place to travel
- exotic country
Malaysia is one of the most exotic travel destinations, yet it is close to our country.Although it is located very close to our country, the buildings built during the European invasion create the illusion of being in Europe.
Additionally, their clothing culture (hijab) and food culture (halal food), which are formed within the Islamic cultural sphere, are also very unique.
※ Halal food(Halal Food)
Halal food refers to food permitted according to Islamic law.It must be manufactured, distributed, processed, etc. in accordance with Islamic law and must not contain pork, alcohol, non-Islamic slaughtered meat, or their ingredients.
- Religious characteristics
In particular, because of their religious beliefs, they He rarely drinks alcohol and absolutely hates being involved in bad crimes. Therefore, you will not see drunk and violent people, which you can easily see at tourist destinations.
It is also a country so quiet that no matter how many times you cut in on the road, you won't hear anyone honking their horn.
- economic development
Of course, there are countries in Southeast Asia like Singapore that have developed into developed nations. However, the image of Southeast Asia still evokes images of developing countries in need of further development. Of course, I felt the same way before my trip to Malaysia.
I used to think Malaysia was a very underdeveloped country, but that's not the case at all. Especially in the capital, Kuala Lumpur. There are skyscrapers lined up that rival Seoul's and there is more economic development than we can imagine.was achieved.
- cultural diversity
Malaysia is made up of Malays, Chinese, and Indians who originally lived in this land. Therefore, the government is trying to lead diverse races and ethnicities. Policies that recognize and embrace their cultural diversityis unfolding.
As a result, various ethnicities and races have come together to form a culture, which in turn has led to a diverse culinary scene. There's even a term for dishes prepared by Chinese settlers in Malaysia using local ingredients.
Malaysian food as perceived by Koreans
If I had to describe Malaysian food in one word, 'It's tasteless'If you travel to different countries, you will find places that sell Korean food in each country.
I admit that there are limitations to creating a Korean taste using local ingredients. Especially, all the food, including Korean food, in Malaysia is tasteless.
- Why does Starbucks coffee taste like this?
You might be thinking, 'How can I say this?' but I generally enjoy almost any food, and I don't have any prejudices against food from other countries.
However, the food here wasn't easy to match.
malaysia Nasi Lemak, the signature dishFrom Starbucks coffee, McDonald's, and even chicken from fast food restaurants all taste bad.. ‘It's enough to make you wonder, "How can someone make food like this with the same ingredients?" (This is just my impression.)
- The author's request
It's easy to think of it as akin to foreigners finding the soybean paste stew, cheonggukjang, and fermented skate that we enjoy so deliciously difficult to prepare.
However, while our country has foods like bibimbap, tteokbokki, bulgogi, and samgyeopsal that suit the tastes of people from other countries, it seems like Malaysia doesn't even have those foods.
I am preparing for a trip to Malaysia and I If you are very sensitive to food and scents I think you can feel deep in your bones what I mean. It's best to come to Malaysia prepared for the food.
- Malacca City Restaurant
I feel like I've been too negative about Malaysian food. But not all of it was like that. If I had to name just one restaurant that I found most delicious, it would be Sae Da Restaurant in Malacca.
In a country where Islam is the state religion A place where you can enjoy delicious pork without worry in a country where pork is hard to come by.This is right here.
Right here A restaurant called Beh Leh Hainam SatayAlthough it is about 10 minutes away by car from the Malaysian Dutch Square, it is popular with many Koreans. Word of mouth spread and the store had a menu in Korean (A4 paper)It is enough to have .
If you're traveling to Malacca, I highly recommend trying this dish. It's reasonably priced and delicious! For more information about this restaurant, please visit 🔎[Honest Review of a Satay Restaurant in Malacca]You can check it through .
A 40-something dad's overall review of Malaysian food
Malaysia is a multi-ethnic and multi-racial nation, so even a visit to a shopping mall food court offers a truly diverse menu. However, for picky Koreans or those with young palates, the food can be challenging to adapt to.
For a man in his 40s who believes that food is the most powerful medium for travel, Malaysia was less impressive in many ways. Even in Penang, known as the city of gastronomy. Is there something wrong with my taste?
※ Please understand that my thoughts and feelings about Malaysian food are entirely my own and that you may disagree or have different opinions.
