Who Wants to Eat Their Way Through Malaysia?

We're planning on going back to Malaysia for two weeks in August. I'm dieting and plan to lose 70 lbs before then. Then I plan on gaining them all back by eating all that wonderful Malaysian food!

Here are my best reasons for wanting to go back (pictures are not mine):

Rotiboys. These are light, fresh-baked buns topped with coffee cream. The smell is amazing. This is Malaysia's answer to Krispy Kreme.


Roti Canai. Crispy grilled flatbread with curry dipping sauce.


Siew Pao. BBQ pork on the inside of a flaky pastry. The sausage biscuit of Malaysia.


Curry Puffs.


Char Siew. Chinese BBQ Pork. Usually found hanging in a hawker stall.


Nyonya Chicken Curry. Good stuff!


Chili Crabs. You just can't believe how cheap it is to buy crabs over there in restaurants. Shrimp, too.


Char Kway Teow. You can't see the noodles in this picture but they are wide egg noodles, fried.


Beef Rendang. This is beef in coconut red curry.


Nyonya style-dining. Indian dishes served on a banana leaf.


Bak Kut Teh. Slow-simmered short ribs.


Soup with pork meatballs. I like to have wantons in it, too.


Devil's Curry. I haven't had this yet, but it is on the list. It's supposed to be hot.


Hainanese Chicken Rice.


And finally, the mobile cafeterias you find at all the markets.


OK, who wants to go with me?
