    29 June 2018 / No Comments

    No matter where we go or when we travel, we bring along our own quirks and idiosyncrasies – and Malaysians are no different. Here are a few unique mannerisms that we’ve noticed among Malaysian travelers… Sound familiar to you? 😛   1.

In this list, we’ll tell you what’s good and the best (read: cheap!) places to find them: Nasi Ulam Made from steamed rice that’s been cooled, Nasi Ulam is an aromatic mix of various shredded herbs like daun kaduk…
