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.
Teh tarik
The origins of "teh tarik" can be traced to Indian-Muslim immigrants in the Malay Peninsula who set up drink stalls at the entrance of rubber plantations after World War II to serve the workers there. Since colonial times, "teh tarik" has been a popular Malaysian Indian cuisine for many in British Malaya and Singapore. Traditionally, "teh tarik" has been seen served with the Roti canai which has become a popular breakfast set by Malaysians until today.
