What is the most popular street food in Malaysia
Nasi lemak is widely considered Malaysia's most popular street food. This fragrant coconut rice dish comes with sambal, anchovies, peanuts, and a hard-boiled egg, wrapped in banana leaf. You can find it at nearly every street corner in Kuala Lumpur and Penang from early morning until late evening. Each stall puts its own spin on the sambal. Our food tours always include a nasi lemak stop so you can taste why Malaysians call it their national dish.
