Malay cuisine, is the cuisine eaten by the ethnic Malays from Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and southern Thailand. Malays have their pwn unique cuisine, that differenciates it from all other Asian cuisines. Malay dishes, are generally made with meats such as chicken, beef and hard-boiled egg marinaded in a sweet sauce that is served with rice. Malay cuisine is known for their uses of lots of spices. Shrimp paste, coconut milk, onions, garlic and curry. Also, just about every Malay dish is served with rice. As rice, is one of the most important staple ingredients in Malay cuisine. Chinese people use chopsticks, Malay people eat with their right hands. Also, Malay food is commonly served on banana leaves. One of the most symbolic food for ethnic Malays is nesi lemak. This is as equivalent to pasta/noodles with Italians. This is their national dish, and is one of Malaysia's national dishes. Marinade sweet meat with creamy rice. Satay, is also another popular Malay snack/dish. Satay, is sweet grilled chicken, pork, beef, tofu and other seafoods or meats on skewers in peanut sauce. Since Malays are known to be devout Muslims, their cuisine is strictly regulated by Islamic law. Pork and alcohol are two ingredients that are always absent in Malay cuisine. Although ethnic Malays who are Christians, exempt themselves from this rule. Malay cuisine has also been influenced by Chinese, Indian and Arabic cuisines. Satay itself, is actually Malay-style kabobs which is an Arabic dish.
