Nasi Lemak Coconut-Flavored Rice Meal.'Diversification' is the key word when we talk about the traditions of Malaysian food, because Malaysian foods are very culturally and ethnically diverse. In this discussion I would like to give a talk about it through multi-ethnic in Malaysia: Malay, Indian and China. We do start with the civilization of Malay food.
In terms of history, Malay are origin of Sumatra, Java, Thailand, Sulawesi and also Polinisia. With the influence of these countries, it is not hardly astonishing that Malaysian cuisine exhibites a lot of qualities from these countries.
Here, some example :
If we go to the south of Malaysia, state of Johor where I was born, there are so many the village of Java and Bugis people who comes from Indonesia.
Now we travel to the State of Melaca to know about the historical development of the Chinese nation. The influence of Chinese has started to spread in the 15th century. It begans with a visit by Warlord Mr.Yin Ching and Chinese Cheng Ho.

Hi Shahran,
What you say about the diversity of Malasia, does this mean that there are a lot of different languages or dialects in your country?
James.
In fact, we have just one language, Malay language, but this one has different dialects. The south is different from the middle of Malaysia. Both of them are different from hte north of Malaysia.
The one thing you have to know is Malaysia is multy-ethnic country. Malay, Chinese, Indian. Each groups have a lot of dialects. For example, Chinese speak chinese language but there are a lot of chinese dialects. There is a chinese mandrin dialect and so on so forth.
