Pahang Malay people
Traditional Pahang cuisine has a lot of similar features with other Malay cuisine, and features a lot of seafood. From its rivers and lakes come the fresh water fish such as the "patin" (silver catfish). Certain dishes are shared with other Malay groups, like "Singgang", "Tembosa", "Satak" and "Lempeng Nyiur" which also commonly found in Kelantan and Terengganu. While some other regional dishes are prepared in Pahang style like "Ikan Bakar Petai" and "Laksa Pahang". There are also popular foreign dishes prepared with the distinctly Pahang style like "Murtabak Mengkasar" and "Puding Diraja" ('Royal Pudding'), both can be found in Pahang's royal capital, Pekan.
