Like, when you go out for Malay food these days, its usually

tomyam
western
fried chicken (berempah, kunyit etc)
nasi lemak, usually part of fried chicken series

Where had all the old timey traditional dishes gone? Somehow it seems like they only survive in nasi kerabu shops.

I also wonder about our fellow Malay diet nowadays. How much has changed as we transition to modern lifestyle, and how much they keep to their traditional recipes?

Most I see have rice and ayam goreng, no sayur, as a daily staple ☠️

Wah, so "healthy". If that's what their wallet can afford I dunno what else to say.
