Ask anyone who has visited Malaysia what impressed them the most, and the answer is more often than not: "The Food!"

In a country of ethnically diverse cultures, you would certainly expect a diversity in the foods. Regardless of where you go in Malaysia, you will find an almost endless variety of foods, of every type.

As Malaysia is unique in its culture, so are its foods. Combinations of Chinese, Malay, Indian, Baba-Nyonya and Thai food can be found almost everywhere you go. From food stalls to restaurants, Malaysia has an epicurean experience waiting for your arrival.

With the restrictions imposed in international travel, concerning the import of food items, it would be next to impossible to carry many of your favourites home from Malaysia.

To help overcome the disappointment of not being able to taste your favourite food again soon, or share it with your friends, we have included 10 recipes for you to try at home.

You should be able to find all ingredients in any market with an international section or at a local "Oriental Market". Almost every country in the world has a populace from Southeast Asia and they often have a market to provide them with items that otherwise, would not be available. Oriental Markets can often supply fresh vegetables such as bean sprouts or other sometimes hard to find spices, flavourings and seasonings.
