A Brief History Of Malaysian Cuisine

Our Chinese and Indian ancestors started the migrating trend a few hundred years ago to a foreign land known back then as 'Malaya'. 'Malaya' is situated in a strategic location, in between the straits of Malacca and South China Sea, which is also the epicenter of all international trading activities back then. Many of our ancestors that came here for different purposes, but finally, they decided to lay their roots on this land, therefore now we are proud of having a unique demographic portfolio today.

Our ancestors didn't leave behind their roots when they settled down in this foreign land, they brought over too their unique cultures and traditions, not to mention their culinary arts skills, such precious treasure that paved a foundation to make Malaysia world renowned with its Fusion Cuisine.

The land of Malaysia today, is proudly a multiracial country located in South East Asia. Our country consists of 3 major races which are formed by Malay's, Chinese and Indians, besides that, not to forget our indigenous people that ruled this native land from hundred years back. Besides having different factions of cuisines, Malaysian food culture also evolved due to the mixture of different native cultures, and therefore fusion food was born.
