Learning To Eat Like A Local In Malaysia

We met up with a local Malaysian man called Syed and he showed us how to eat the Malaysian way! Learning to eat like a local in Malaysia is not an easy task and takes some practice, but to do so he took us to try some real Malaysian food in the local area of Kuala Lumpur including the authentic patin tempoyak (catfish in fermented durian sauce). It was our first time trying this Malaysian dish and we were pretty excited to try something weirder and more off the beaten path than what most foreigners try when in Malaysia.

    Rimbun Dahan was founded and maintained by a famous architect and his family. They offer placements for artists to live and work there for a certain period of time to support the arts. They also dismantled two different types of traditional-style houses from different states, moved and reconstructed the houses on the Rimbun Dahan premises. At least that’s what I was told when I went there many years ago. Amazing place, really loved my visit

    Lot of dish can be a local special, like ikan patin masak tempoyak (catfish with fermented durian) is a Pahang signature dish because of the ingredient. We can say a top quality for that specific fish in that dish can be acquire from Pahang. Different state with different signature dish because of best-local ingredient. We can found it elsewhere but it hardly can be the best if we compare to the original place.
