Rice is the most important staple food in Malaysia and as Malaysian, we can’t stay away from it and its variety of lauk pauk. It must be common and nothing special or ordinary about it. Somehow the nasi campur is the most satisfying and delicious meal to enjoy especially during lunch time. Generally affordable and yummy.
Many restaurants set up the lauks as a buffet so you can pile whatever dishes you want into your plate. Malaysia has the best nasi campur service out of all the world and you can find it anywhere.
Malaysian cuisine has evolved into a mash-up of several different cooking styles, primarily Malay, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, and Bornean, as a result of its cultural diversity and historical migrations.

Other than that, there is also Sudanese food which is famous among Indonesian and you shall try it soon. It is called Batagor & Siomay, the stall is just next to the nasi lemak stall.
Batagor “fried bakso” is a Sundanese dish from Indonesia that is popular throughout Southeast Asia. It consists of fried fish dumplings that are typically served with peanut sauce. It’s traditionally made with minced tenggiri (mackerel), but other seafood like tuna, mackerel, and prawn can also be used.
Batagor fried dumplings on the street are typically served with fried tofu and finger-shaped fried otak-otak fish cakes. These batagor ingredients are cut into bite-sized pieces and served with peanut sauce, Kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), sambal (chilli paste), and lime juice. Batagor is a fried food with a crispy and crunchy texture. Because the serving method is the same, batagor and siomay are frequently sold by the same vendor, with batagor being offered as a crispy variation of siomay.
This place is always crowded, especially during lunch and at night! So be patient while you wait for your food.
