Nasi lemak
In Malaysia and Singapore, nasi lemak comes in many variations as they are prepared by different chefs from different cultures. The original nasi lemak in Malaysia is arguably a typical Southern and Central Peninsular Malaysia breakfast, and is considered of Malay origin. However, due to the popularity of the dish, it is regarded as a national dish.
Bak kut teh
In Malaysia, a less fatty variation of "bak kut teh" made with chicken instead of pork is called "chik kut teh". It also serves as a "halal" version of the dish catered to Muslims, whose religion forbids them to consume pork.
