Mamak Street Food

Mamak Street Food is the closest you can get to a roadside Malaysian truck stop stall without getting on a flight. Like many roadside, street-food set ups selling nasi lemak or, in this case, nasi kandar, you get your place of rice and choose what you want on top – pick from a selection of rich curries, stir fries and condiments. You can also get a Malay-style wet char kway teow, a pick your own ingredient rojak (a textural salad topped with a sweet-sour-spicy sauce) and a sweet drink (try a frothed milk tea or a Malaysian ice coffee) to contrast all the bold, full-flavoured foods.
