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.
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.
