Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
A.k.a., 5 dishes I've never heard about before, much less had any idea of their origin.
Where would I live that I'd have encountered these in a non-Malaysian restaurant, and be reading an article about it in English? India? London? Northern California?
Heck, I'm not sure there's even a single Malaysian restaurant in my mid-West greater metropolitan area. Now I'm going to have to go look. While none of the names are familiar, some of these dishes look super tasty.
Your comment made me double check if I posted this to the right server. It's showing up on your feed because of federation. This article was intended for Malaysians.
Anyway, do try out those food if you ever encounter them. My personal favourite is chilli pan mee.
