I've been living in Malaysia for the last seven years. I decided to stay here after finishing my studies because I liked Malaysia better than America. So what do I like about Malaysia? I like the people, the holidays and the food. People are quite friendly in Malaysia. If you're a foreigner, you will feel welcomed in Malaysia so feel free to visit if you've never came here before. Malaysia celebrates holidays from Chinese, Malay and Indian culture so there's a lot of public holidays and speaking of which there is one coming up on Monday called Awal Muharram which celebrates the beginning of the Islamic New Year.
In my opinion, the BEST part about living in Malaysia is the food. People be eating breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. For me though, I only eat breakfast/lunch and dinner. There's food everywhere in Malaysia and I won't say all are amazing but if you go to the right places there's good food and a lot of diversity. There's street food, restaurants and hawker centers where you can find all kinds of food. I feel it's impossible to be hungry in Malaysia unless you have no money. For local Malaysian food, I love roti canai, nasi lemak and satay.
Recently, I tried Nepalese food for the first time. It's kind of a mix of Chinese and Indian food along with their own tradition. I think one of the interesting dishes was the fried corn. It kind of looked like popcorn but didn't taste like it and I'm not sure how to describe it. Then another dish I liked was the mutton curry with some rice, soup and vegetables.
So if you're ever visiting Malaysia, you know what to come for!
