A Malaysian breakfast would depend on what you feel like in the morning...
Malay : Nasi Lemak which is coconut rice with sambal, fried anchovies, peanuts, a boiled egg and sliced cucumber
Indian: roti canai which is a type of indian bread found in south east asia. It is served with dhal and perhaps some chicken curry
Chinese: Chee Cheong fun. This is similar to the kind that you get at a dim sum restaurant - either shrimp or chicken. Or a bowl of noodles. Or even porridge. This is different from the oaty kind though as it is made with rice that has been boiled for a long time.
All this is topped off with 'teh tarik' literally 'pulled tea'. This is made with tea and condensed milk and gets its name from the pulling action of the maker while pouring the tea from one glass to the other to froth it up a little.
These are a luxury to me though as I don't eat heavy meals in the morning.
Key: Complain about this post
