Malays (ethnic group)
Nasi lemak, rice cooked in rich coconut milk probably is the most popular dish ubiquitous in Malay town and villages. Nasi lemak is considered as Malaysia's national dish.
Nasi dagang
Some people from the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia claim of the "nasi lemak" being nonexistent in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia or the "Pantai Timur", with the "nasi dagang" replacing the dish instead. This claim is actually unheard of in either region as both dishes can commonly be found sold side by side for breakfast.
