The cuisine in Malaysia has been strongly influenced by Indian, Thai, Indonesian, and Chinese cuisines, and for preparing their food, Malaysians also use the Wok and love to combine plenty of interesting spices. Their restaurants are quite cheap and definitely worth trying. But if you plan on buying your food in markets, you will be surprised by their low prices.
