I prefer this type since it is not too hot for consumption in this sweltering part of the world, as well as its slight sweetness from the dark sauce and sour from some pickled green chilies. Here, we have a version in which the cooked noodle is mixed in a sauce of soy, oyster sauce, and dark caramel soy sauce, a version that I rarely find outside of Malaysia. Most of us know this dish as a noodle soup with floating pieces of wanton dumpling. This Chinese breakfast item is also a noodle – Wanton Noodles in Sauce.
This was a favorite of mine when I used to visit my parents, and my Mum would stop by the stall during her rounds in the open wet markets, a place where great breakfast can be found. Stuffed tofu skin, fish ball, and stuffed puffed tofu cake are favored at this time of the morning. But most eaters would add a myriad of toppings called Yong Tau Foo. It can be eaten with a combination of sweet and sour spicy sauces, and a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds. It is steamed sheets of rice dough rolled up to look like its moniker that translates as pig’s intestines noodle. I didn’t mind ordering two eggs with toast morning after morning since they get it right in this part of the world, and concern for my cholesterol level went out of the window with each delicious bite.Īnother fairly mild breakfast item is Chee Cheong Fun. This sweet sandwich is perfect with some hot Teh Tarik (pulled tea) or the strong Kopi-O (Malaysian coffee) to wake the eater up with its rich sweetness. Usually, it comes with a side of Toasted Bread, cut from whole loaves and not presliced, toasted but still quite pale, slathered with some margarine (not butter – only time an exception for me here) and some Kaya, a sweet coconut jam. A touch of white pepper (not black) and some salt or soy sauce complete this simple yet satisfying starter. A whole egg has been poached to the perfect state of opaque egg white and a barely cooked viscous yolk. One item that they are very fond of is Soft-boiled Egg which you will find to be a common order. Malaysians really love their breakfast, judging by the crowds in eating places including roadside stalls at the early hours.

This posting is a continuation of the series on Malaysian Meals posted a couple of years ago (see blog links in above menu). After running around from one eating place to another and savoring the home dishes my Auntie Shirley cooked over the course of the week, here is the run down of the Malaysian gastronomic delights that not only sated my stomach but also warmed my soul. This trip back was a great opportunity to catch up with my folks as well as to gorge myself with dishes that I missed most from my growing up years in this part of the world. I recently came back from a month-long trip to Turkey and Southeast Asia, and I managed to spend a week in my birth land, Malaysia, with my parents and relatives.
