Favourite Malaysian food – Otak-otak
By: Adline A. Ghani When I was little, I had convinced myself that the popular Malaysian food item, otak-otak , is made of brains, as ‘ otak ,’ in Malay, literally means ‘brain.’ I mean, with a name like that and the squishy texture, what else was a little girl supposed to think? Continue reading

Favourite Malaysian food – Rojak
All this talk about 1 Malaysia in recent times has got me thinking, if there was a Malaysian food that could embody the 1 Malaysia spirit, what could it be? Then the answer came to me – rojak ! The term ‘ rojak ,’ in the Malay language, is a colloquial expression for ‘an eclectic mix,’ which aptly sums up the cultural diversity of Malaysian society, and if you were familiar with the food item, you can easily see why! Rojak is a kind of savoury snack that has a lot of different ingredients in it. In Malaysia, there are two main types of rojak – rojak buah (fruit rojak ) and rojak pasembor (Indian rojak ).

Sotong kangkung (Cuttlefish salad)
Sotong kangkung is one of my most favourite Malaysian dishes, and I’m sure many of you like it too, which is why I’m sharing with you my mum’s recipe!
